  • Ah, so you acknowledge these are factual statements, but your objection is that they’re not footnoted properly?

    I knew there was a reason I had you on ignore.

  • He acknowledged them as statements, not that they were factual.

    The Palestinian Authority is widely regarded as corrupt and ineffectual, not just by Palestinians but by the wider world.

    I could say: The Conservative Party is widely regarded as corrupt and ineffectual, not just by the British, but by the wider world.

    Is that a factual statement? The widely regarded part might be me exaggerating how many like minded friends I have.

    Backing up your statements in this time of misinformation and intense propaganda is more important than ever. I don’t think asking for references and checking the credibility of the website and sources is a bad thing to ask.

  • Just google “Palestinian authority corrupt” and note how many standard sources of authority there are in the results saying “yeah, the Palestinian authority is corrupt af’. It’s an established fact that Abbas and co are grafters. If I say the sky is blue I don’t have to provide references FFS.
