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.
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.
