Even before the narrative about the stampede began, there were reports claiming that the bleachers had collapsed, which turned out to be false. However, this seemed to be part of the prepared narrative and the intended story for the day.

A video surfaced the next day by an engineer who walked around the site and discovered that the bleachers had been constructed in such a way that just one screw was holding the entire structure together, and they only didn’t actually collapse by a miracle.

A few months later, the bleachers did collapse at a religious event, seemingly indicating that such an incident 'needed' to happen for some sinister reason.

I don't use that term on anyone who criticizes Israel. I criticize Israel, and I'm not a Jew hater.

Yeshiva world news gets most of its reporting from the associated press, which is America's pravda.

Maybe I'm just a gullible sheep, but isn't there another possiblity ? The media is reporting it because it is true?

Also, I always find it amusing when people who know the media tells the most horrific lies about Israel and Orthodox Jews have such implicit trust in the media when it comes to pretty much everything else. As if they would ONLY lie to you about that, but nothing else, ever, and the burden of proof should always be on those who distrust known liars.

I wrote a series of articles as well on Torah guidance for discerning truth from lies. The very first lesson was that a known liar is disqualified from giving testimony: https://chananyaweissman.com/article.php?id=598.

You mean the entire media all formed exactly the same true conclusions immediately after these events occurred, and all used the same language to describe it, and unfailingly maintained these narratives in lockstep?

Yeah, that would be a gulliple sheep belief.
