Eliot Higgins given a paragraph near the end to rend his garments about how bad both sides have been in the propaganda war:

'In February 2024, Bellingcat founder Eliot Higgins said, "I think the intensity of online discourse around Israel and Palestine is really kind of much worse than I've seen in any of the conflicts. People are not looking to establish the truth in many cases, but basically just look for things to bash each other over the head online. It's really just about people arguing their positions, their opinions, and not really establishing the exact truth around what's happening."[215]'

For some reason, despite their notorious spook-adjacency, wiki maintain that 'there is consensus that Bellingcat is generally reliable for news' - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#Baidu_Baike

(Facepalm) I wonder what Max Blumenthal would have said if approached for comment? Of course wiki would never do that because:

'The Grayzone was deprecated in the 2020 RfC. There is consensus that The Grayzone publishes false or fabricated information. Some editors describe The Grayzone as Max Blumenthal's blog, and question the website's editorial oversight.' - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#Game_Developer
