A little thread on some of the more popular war crime denialism memes that have being doing the rounds after the Douma Chemical Attack. Yes, this is the world we live in.
Images from the set of a film about a western journalist who travels to Syria and helps fake war crimes are repurposed by war crime denialists claiming it’s the White Helmets faking footage of war crimes: bellingcat.com/news/mena/2018…
Video footage claiming to show jihadi rebels teaching children to fake chemical attacks is from a 2013 play about “the horrors of chemical weapons”. Such a bad case of war crime denialism that even RT debunked it rt.com/news/423927-sy…
An oldie but a goldie, war crime denialists use images from a poorly thought out White Helmets mannequin challenge video as evidence they’re faking footage of war crimes bellingcat.com/resources/arti…
Bodies in shrouds moving are used by war crime denialists to attack those alleging war crimes in Syria, but the footage is actually from a student protest in Egypt verify-sy.com/det/925/en
