Some notes: The majority of atrocities and disinformation coming from this war are coming from Israel. They're killing journalists in an area that already has such limited visibility. I'm not trying to "both sides" a conflict which is wildly asymmetrical, with Israel committing genocide.

That said, I come across some pretty wild claims sometimes, of cartoonishly-evil atrocities Israel is committing, and I have difficulty checking the facts.

The most recent one are claims that Israel is broadcasting the sounds of crying babies to lure Palestinian's in to kill them with drones. I can trace this back to one or two sources which I have never heard of and can't find any information on.

To the best of my understanding, this was reported to Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor who can't corroborate the claims.

The only other information I can find are from the most extreme-right Zionist sources, the ones which brand people and organizations as anti-semites or pro-Hamas so broadly that they're practically useless for scouring out misinformation.

Likewise, this is the kind of thing that I see almost exclusviely spreading on Twitter, so it's very believable to be false.

Are there any good communities or places to do fact-check deep-dives on topics like these? I figure jstpst isn't the funnest place to intermix shitposts with "I tried fact checking the most atrocious thing you can imagine"
