So many are swallowing them using the same mental/emotional/ideological mechanism you are using by claiming they are "lies" - they're just on the other side of the aisle, so to speak. We can infer that the Israeli Narrative is fishy and riddled with red flags, but do we have adequate evidence proving they are lies? Rather than claiming the Israeli Narrative is a pack of lies, I think it's better to insist on their supporters providing adequate evidence, and until they do, we reasonably withhold our support. The biggest red flag of all, of course, is the Western Mainstream (of which Israel is a part) pretending that there are no red flags. This was the same behavior I noticed with the 2020 US Election, and with the Covid Project.

There IS “adequate evidence “.

All one need do is look for it.

1. The claim that there is adequate evidence, isn't the same as the useful presence and/or provision of adequate evidence.

2. Suggesting I look for it is shifting the burden.

3. If you know the truth verified by this adequate evidence that you claim exists, surely you could have provided it. Or did you lose it behind the chaise lounge...?

H, I have read SO MUCH on the subject and witnessed SO MANY videos I couldn’t possibly give you links to them.

But I can suggest several websites from which to start:

Mondoweiss

Al Jazeera

If Americans Knew

Electronic Intifada

Consortium News

Also please see Scott Ritter and Chris Hedges. I can’t do all your homework for you.

It's a red flag when a person doesn't acknowledge the various problems of information about complex events and responds as though there is no problem other than me not doing my research.

Really? How so?

If I can garnish information, I assume you can as well, but I suppose you’re too lazy to do so. I already provided you with pertinent websites.

Or perhaps you don’t WANT the truth?

Shoo, fly.
