I tend to side with Wikipedia in believing The Cradle unreliable in their news coverage, and wanted to pass it along.

They are are listed in the same category as the Anti Defamation League on the topic of Israel. Something that The Cradle chose to write about without disclosing their own status.

For those who don’t know, The Cradle is banned by Wikipedia as an unreliable source.

The Cradle is an online magazine focusing on West Asia/Middle East-related topics. It was deprecated in the 2024 RfC due to a history of publishing conspiracy theories and wide referencing of other deprecated sources while doing so. Editors consider The Cradle to have a poor reputation for fact-checking.

I wish reporting like this would bother to define what they mean when they say children. Are we talking about 16 and 17 year olds, or are we talking about 7 and 8 year olds? They mention a single 7 year old who was released “hours later” after supposedly being arrested and “beaten on his hands” whatever that means exactly.

Also, if anyone has information on the primary source for the article, the Palestinian Prisoners Club, I’d be interested in learning more. From a quick search, Qadura Fares, a Fatah/PA politician is cited as the President/Head in several articles. The Wikipedia page redirects to this article, and this Facebook page comes up in a quick search. I didn’t find anything else of consequence unfortunately.

Edit: After a little more digging, looks like some articles refer to the same group as The Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS). I believe this is their, currently down, official website. Their Instagram, Twitter/X

Not a bot, just me manually adding it to my own posts.

Article critical of Hamas and that doesn’t talk about genocide = obvious IDF Propaganda shill. How much are they paying you anyhow?

From Wikipedia

Fox News[r] (news excluding politics and science)

Historically, there has been consensus that Fox News is generally reliable for news coverage on topics other than politics and science. However, many editors expressed concerns about the reliability of Fox News for any topic in a 2023 RFC. No formal consensus was reached on the matter, though. See also: Fox News (politics and science), Fox News (talk shows).

Primary source for those interested.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources

Anti-Defamation League (ADL)(excluding the Israel/Palestine conflict)

There is consensus that outside of the topic of the Israel/Palestine conflict, the ADL is a generally reliable source, including for topics related to hate groups and extremism in the U.S. There is no consensus that ADL must be attributed in all cases, but there is consensus that the labelling of organisations and individuals by the ADL (particularly as antisemitic) should be attributed. Some editors consider the ADL's opinion pieces not reliable, and that they should only be used with attribution. Note that the ADL's reliability on antisemitism and the reliability of its database of hate symbols is currently being discussed.

Anti-Defamation League (ADL)(Israel/Palestine conflict)

There is consensus that the ADL is a generally unreliable source for the Israel/Palestine conflict, owing to occasional misinformation favoring the Israeli government with respect to the conflict.

I’d be happier if they push for lighter devices personally. Glass feels nice, but their Pro models can be obnoxiously heavy.

If you read the WSJ article, it relies largely on interviews with Palestinians who were neighbors.

The author, Abeer Ayyoub, Is also a Palestinian from Gaza.

I’ll read the CNN article when I have a moment.

Edit: Had a moment and read the article. Best I can gather the CNN snippet you posted relies entirely on a Twitter/X post from the chairman of the Euro Med Monitor?

Link to Abdallah Aljamal‘s Facebook page, as mentioned in the article.

So basically it’s what I said? Israel did not give money to Hamas, but did allow money to flow from the Qatari government to them.

The result may have been the same, but I think it’s fair to say Israel didn’t fund Hamas right?

Source on Israel funding Hamas?

My understanding is they allowed money to pass from Qatar to Hamas, but never directly funded them.

Care to offer a source you find unbiased?
