"You will say that what Hitler did to you was a joke - come on, we are waiting for you," Palestinian political activist Ahed Tamimi said.

Her Instagram post, translated in the link:

“Come on settlers, we will slaughter you. We are waiting for you in all the cities of the West Bank. What Hitler did to you was a picnic. We will drink your blood and eat your skulls”

She has since been arrested:

    They linked a secondary source, which was a twitter post with a screenshot of the supposed Instagram post

    That Instagram post, in turn, was not from her actual account, but from a fake account in her name.

    Come on man, put just the smallest amount of effort into verifying your sources.

    Edit: am dumb

      Where did you see that it isn’t her account? I saw screencaps of her coauthor tagging this account. I saw that the account has been active on Instagram for several years (wayback machine captured it first in 2019). I have yet to see a single answer as to her real account - even the previous one she supposedly stopped using last year.

      I did verify my sources. I think you saw something that said what you wanted to think.

        Yeah actually looking further, I think the account I thought was her actual one may not be - I thought ahedtamimii was the main account due to the naming & number of followers, but on a more thorough look I think it is not.

        I retract my argument
