I see you sharing half-baked commentary from R*ania Kh*lek. I see you posting random info from that rapper, L*wk*y, and that anon with the animated squirrel from Sword in the Stone as its profile pic.

I know you’re well-intentioned, but please: get your information elsewhere.

If it’s true, you can definitely find it somewhere else. But all of these people have spread ghastly wrong information since before this war began. (Look at their track record on Syria, say.)

You don’t need them. The Left doesn’t need them. They aren’t even on the ground here.

How about some recent examples, yeah?

This is an idiotic thing to say. Did the PMF fight ISIS? Yes. Did they also forcibly disappear 1000s of Iraqis in the name of their nationalist vision of “liberation”? Yes.

Also, uh, the US-coalition played a big role in defeating ISIS too.

Here is @zei_squirrel suggesting that Israel was behind the Kerman attack.

They definitively were not. ISIS claimed responsibility. So what does Ms. Squirrel do? Obfuscate by talking about the MEK. ISIS has nothing to do with the MEK.

Why do people like @zei_squirrel feel the need to invent things when an active genocide is going on? Why can’t they just focus on reality instead of inventing new frontiers of stupid anger?

Well, I mean, just look at the engagement numbers and you may have an answer.

@zei_squirrel Here’s that Lowekey fellow posting the same nonsense. Most of his stuff is just…sensationalizing stuff other people have reported more thoroughly or taking screenshots from videos to make viral allegations. Share the sources, please, to avoid sharing garbage like this.

Khalek has been praising Nasrallah repeatedly in the past day.

Hezbollah is no friend of the Left, obviously. You don’t have to pump up Hezbollah propaganda to…own Israel. Israel is bad enough, you don’t have to become a partisan of a religious nationalist organization.

Then there’s unhinged stuff like this that just makes…no sense.

Please just stop sharing these people. You can get the same information elsewhere, if it’s true.

If you can’t find it, you might just save yourself the embarrassment of looking like an idiot.
