~~To clarify: the point I’m making is that I did an absolutely trivial, cursory accuracy check on one of the central points of the timeline of the article, and it was immediately and obviously discernible as false.~~

And yeah, the Israeli government these days is comically hypersensitive to stuff like this, i agree. I just have made a habit of checking easily verifiable facts like this, and trying to point out where I observe discrepancies. Sometimes it’s nothing; sometimes it’s something, but not really a related issue. Sometimes it’s highly pertinent. Regardless, I think it’s a good thing to point out, simply in the interest of showing others how easy it is to increase your media literacy and detect hinky propaganda-leaning ”journalism” that seems to be getting a lot more common these days across the political spectrum. (Addendum) And sometimes I am not as careful as I should be and I point out something entirely unrelated :D
