    Her message, conveniently missing from this article:

    With absolutely no source whatsoever, while pretending that settlers who violate international law by stealing land is the same as every Israeli…

    Not to mention:

    However, Nariman denied that her daughter wrote the post. “There are dozens of (online) pages in Ahed’s name with her photo, with which she has no connection,” she said.

    She’s a young woman, you really think Hamas doesn’t take random pictures of young women and make fake accounts?

      With absolutely no source whatsoever

      Sorry, I thought you would have done the minimum of research and checked the other posts in [email protected] first:

      JPost is obviously biased, but actually links a primary source - which include screencaps of her account (@ahed_tamimi15) and linking IG posts from others tagging that account as part of her book tour.

        You should read that BBC article, it also points out there’s no proof she made the comment, and goes into how illegal “settlers” and the IDF has been harassing her family directly for a decade…

          You mean this:

          The post is no longer visible online, nor is the account carrying Ms Tamimi’s name and photo where it was published last week.

          Except it is cached in the wayback machine, and there are posts that still tag her. Don’t read one article - read all of them, read some primary sources, and make your own decision. I’m convinced that someone published this on her account, either her or someone she gave access to.

            Why?

            Have you legitimately never seen a social media account used for propaganda that just grabs a picture of an attractive women?

            Because that’s like the vast majority of their accounts…

              Because that account - @ahed_tamimi15 - was tagged by accounts that collaborated with her (including her book’s co-author)

              Fake accounts used for propaganda are a dime a dozen - this is not that.

          If I wrote in a comment that it belongs to me, that would certainly be a strong signal that it is, right?
