Edit: Since people have a problem with this comment, the image is a still frame from a video of the bombimg. Awful.

There are links in the replies, which were not present when I made this comment (it was the first comment on this post).

Original commentWhat's going on is atrocious, but do we have any evidence whatsoever this isn't just five minutes in photoshop? It's not hard to put a bomb silhouette in the sky and blur it a bit.

The timing of this image, the fact that the photographer got the image out, and as far as I'm aware there's not a follow up with the aftermath just tweaks my bullshit sense is all.

    what difference will it make?

    what will you do if it's real? what if it's not?

    There is intrinsic value in the truth, I think.

    If OP posts a photoshopped picture, that tells us something about OP. If the picture is real, that tells us something about an event of this war.

    When we know the truth, we can better decide who to listen to. When we can better decide who to listen to, we have more opportunity to sway the opinions of those around us towards the truth.

    What difference did you commenting make? If you're chasing the nihilism here

    it may be helpful to stop pretending that in 2026 truth matters.

    Why would I listen to you then, someone fine with lying. Your words are worthless.

    i'm not "fine with lying"'.

    Trump is the ultimate liar. Are his words worthless? His lies matter more than our thousand truths.

    World has changed and the truth doesn't matter anymore.

    But my original comment was about the frailty of being just a witness to a genocide faraway and asking if the image is real or not. Honestly, what difference does it make after all we've seen? What have we done after seeing other images that were authenticated?

    yes, smart thinking, maybe the entirely of the zionist holocaust of Palestinians and all their various and sundry war crimes were simply photoshop. Where is Hind Rijab, do we even have any record besides photos of her ever existing? Where are all the bodies of palestinians? Maybe they just left town, right? Asking the tough questions here, good for you buddy. /s
