I’m not criticising. I’m trying to help, you dafty!
In the information age, and especially on a highly propagandised and emotionally charged topic like Israel/Palestine. None of us should be taking the face value of a screenshot without a source. I provided a source that backed up what your screenshot says. I chose The Guardian because it was the only news source I found without having to go onto X, because I have no interest in using that website if I can avoid it. Maybe in future you could source your screenshots so this waste of time doesn’t happen again.
An account belongs to a person and therefore has a reputation. This person holds a higher reputation than TheGuardian.
I don’t blame you for not knowing every activist but TheGuardian doesn’t hold much authority with their poor reporting on Palestine.
Mainstream news has done such a poor job reporting on Palestine they shouldn’t be ascribed any authority anymore.
That’s unfortunately not how critical evaluation of information works.
An account belongs to a person and therefore has a reputation. In some people’s eyes this person holds a higher reputation than The Guardian.
You see the issue? And again, there’s no source to the tweet, it’s just a screenshot.
Here’s an alternative source, as you have an aversion towards The Guardian despite it backing you up in this case:

The source to your tweet is Elon Musk and it has the reputation of Elon Musk. A quick search shows the tweet is real https://x.com/elonmusk/status/943901463998169088
I already know the event happened because the user posting it also posted a video of the event below it.
Like at least try to see who you’re criticizing

No good deed goes unpunished I guess.
I’m just trying to explain that Twitter users can also be reliable sources, no offense to you or anything.
