The same Israeli soldier has posted video clips showing soldiers arresting dozens of men, women and children who were stripped, blindfolded and handcuffed in areas across Gaza.

    “We couldn’t find any instances od it failing fact checks” then why the fuck is it “a mixed factual check”?

      They’re using a dude from “The Telegraph” in their criticism section.

      The Telegraph is a right wing pro israel tabloid that tells you all you need to know.

      MBFC is has some really pathetic sourcing for their “debunking”.

      On MBFC pro israel sites are highly factual, pro Palestinian sites are “mixed”.

        I am so close to waging a war on MBFC. Not a single one of them is actually an expert… And they think it’s a “strength” that they made up an unscientific system to rate things.

        Go to their website and read about their methods. You’re in for a laugh.

          Yeah it’s great. But makes it more disappointing to see people actually using it/treating it like gospel

      Because that entire site is just one guy’s opinion presented as if it were objective fact. The claims credibility of sources reflects the guy’s biases and opinions and nothing more.

      If you want an actual answer….

      Middle East Monitor is a pretty small outlet, and not every source on MBFC has an extremely detailed report. It’s a valuable tool, but I would never call it definitive.

      Ad Fontes doesn’t list them at all, which isn’t really surprising given the reach and size of MEMO.

      Also, from MEMO’s website, they don’t try to be unbiased.

      About Us

      There has been a growing need for supporters of, in particular, the Palestinian cause, to master the art of information gathering, analysis and dissemination. This requires well organised, focused and targeted operations. Such initiatives are virtually non-existent in the West today.

      The Middle East Monitor (MEMO) was established to fill this gap.

      Edit: Upon further reading, I can’t help but notice none of their articles have author names attached.
