It’s called “fog of war” for a reason. Uncertainty drives the rumor mill. Online sensemaking during crisis events and conflict is extremely vulnerable to manipulation. The clout chasers, political point scorers, and disinformation agents are all out in full force. Consume (and share) with care.
Trust, but verify. Trust that someone is telling the truth, but verify their claim. If you can't verify it to be 100% true, don't spread that information.

The people who draw a paycheck portraying criticism of the US National Security State as unreliable = clout chasers.
Israel is part of the US National Security State.
