    Previous Lemmy post said it was an Israeli drone and Greta thunberg was on board. Then there was some debate over whether there was a drone or not.

    For those of us who don’t want to go to Reddit, what is r/worldnews saying?

        How does this person watch the video of a flaming object clearly falling from the sky and come to the conclusion that it started on the boat?

              Gastroturfing sounds like it would be a portmanteau for when terrible restaurants pad their reviews online with fake ones, so they look better than they are

                Sounds like the ghost kitchens that were popular during COVID. Iirc places like Applebee’s would create branding for a new business (cosmic wings in Applebee’s case) and just sell Applebee’s products via door dash under that new ‘exotic’ name.

          The same way they can make a statement like “they can lie like this and know they will lose zero international support” while defending Israel. Every accusation is a confession with these people.

        In one video you can hear the buzz of a drone getting closer until explosion, in other you can see a flaming object falling straight down exactly like an incendiary device dropped from a drone. The only way could be more obvious is if the drone itself was on video.

      A lot of denial, victim blaming and screeching about fake news.

      In fact, the only front page article I see on that subreddit is of Tunisia denying that the flotilla was hit by a drone.
