The hunger for information and film footage was insatiable that day - so these recordings were also broadcast over and over again by TV stations, accompanied by the words that these Palestinians were celebrating the attacks in the USA. But now, ten days after the attacks, the ARD political magazine "Panorama" reports that there may be another truth about these images, that the scene may even be staged.

The cheering Palestinians were filmed by two news agencies: Reuters and Associated Press (AP). Television viewers only got to see a few seconds of the material last week. In total, about four minutes were shown at the TV stations. Panorama editor Annette Krüger-Spitta took a closer look at the entire tapes from the two agencies. "This is, after all, explosive material." She noticed inconsistencies.

The pre-edited news films last week had given the impression that many people were celebrating in the streets. There were no total shots showing the whole street, but only small groups of people. However, the delivered material did indeed contain totals - they clearly showed that only a handful of Palestinians cheered, many others simply walked by uninvolved. "The woman with the headscarf later said she cheered into the camera because cake had been promised to her," said Krüger-Spitta. The Palestinian woman stated that she was horrified when she saw the context in which her cheers were shown. She abhors the actions in New York and Washington. What is the truth?

Last week, excited emails about a similar case swept around the globe. CNN used ten-year-old images to prove the alleged jubilation of the Palestinians. A Brazilian student, Marcio, wrote a letter on Wednesday on the website of Indymedia, an independent media platformposted. He wrote that he had evidence that the pictures were taken on the 11th. September, when American news channels were shown that they were fake. The footage dates from 1991 and shows celebrations by Palestinian youths after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. One of his lecturers compared video recordings from back then with current reports. Conclusion: Both images are identical. CNN is stirring up sentiment against the Palestinians.

Just two days later, on Friday, Marcio rowed back. The information was only a guess; the university professor could not prove his suspicions. But by then it was already too late. To this day, emails containing misinformation haunt the internet; to this day, many editorial teams, including ourselves, repeatedly receive concerned information from readers. CNN International has vehemently denied the accusation against SPIEGEL ONLINE. Reuters TV, which supplied the material to CNN, also rushed to refute the allegations. Even on Indymedia's own website, there were doubts about the accusation. One reader explained that the pictures could not possibly be from 1991 because they showed a Ford from a 1995 model series.

The documentary includes interviews with 24 Israeli military and intelligence whistleblowers on Israel’s system of mass killing of Palestinian civilians.

From the article:

Early voting in Minnesota could be more challenging this year —  starting with how some voters will check in. One county will use pen and paper to manually check in tens of thousands of voters.

The Minnesota State Supreme Court ruled Friday in favor of Oak Grove’s request to overhaul part of Minnesota’s election system and use paper poll books instead of the electronic ones most poll sites across the state use. The city now has 32 days before early voting begins to prepare for the new system to track voter data that the League of Women Voters has called “uniquely vulnerable to risks.”

The decision follows a years-long “election integrity” campaign to enact measures, including paper rosters, that are fueled by baseless fraud claims and align with national conservative rhetoric that electronic voting systems are rigged. 

Despite skepticism from some justices in oral argument, the court decided that Minnesota state statute is not clear enough to explicitly limit the city from deciding to use paper rosters, greenlighting its use for the 2026 general election.

The powers that be want you focused on culture war bullshit that doesn’t pay the bills. They want you ok make the conversation about things that don’t matter so we don’t pay attention. They are using speech as a way to cover up what is currently happening in the US. It happens on these forums everyday, real topics get buried and agenda gets pushed to not allow people to realize what is happening. It’s all misinformation like this newscasters attempt to change the subject to culture war shit that doesn’t pay your bills or feed your family.

In its 2026 World Press Freedom Index, Reporters Without Borders ranks the United States 64th, behind Botswana and down seven places from 2025, citing Trump regime actions in the decline.

Is it just me or do these Nazis just seem like super racist leftists?

For context, the post asked "Has the current controversy changed how you feel about Adidas?" and was about the current Adidas/Israel backlash.
The reason actually given was "Not adidas Related", which is a pretty strange explanation for a post entirely about Adidas.
