The misinformation is the Zionist lie that they turned the water back on, when actual people on the ground in Gaza are telling us they don't have water.

Also, everyone living on stolen Palestinian land and benefiting from land theft and apartheid is a settler. From the river to the sea.

To be clear, there’s one lie and then that lie got spun into something pro-Israeli.

Jake Sullivan told CNN on Sunday that Israeli officials told him they had turned the water back on in southern Gaza. But the spokesman for Israel’s energy and water ministry, Adir Dahan, said it was only flowing at a single location in southern Gaza.

Sounds like Jake got told the same lie, and he spun it and omitted the “one location” part. Dahan lied (saying it was on at one location when it wasn’t) and Sullivan made it sound even better by conveniently dropping the “one location” part and implying that water is fully restored.

From Sullivans perspective he may be reporting the “truth”, based upon what he knows/knew at the time, but said it in such a way to imply the Israelis are better than he “knows”.

~~And my questions on race and who qualifies as white? Because I'm guessing you consider yourself a very anti-racist person. But that shit was racist as fuck.~~
