Comment on Labour Party members just defected to Your Party en masse
BrikoX@lemmy.zip 3 days agoThey still take every opportunity to claim Palestine Action were targeting planes that were refuelling Israeli jets <…>
As far as I can see they never said that. They just quoted Palestine Action saying that.

And the later article www.thecanary.co/…/doha-raf-refuelling-plane/ said that about F35 which can be refueled by Airbus KC3 Voyager.

Israeli F35s can’t be refuelled by British tankers. They use a completely different system. If the Canary had fact-checked, they’d have realised the British tankers circling Doha were highly unlikely to be party to the Israeli attack on Qatar, as they were in fact participating in a joint exercise with… erm, Qatar.
It’s a pity, because they cover some stuff others don’t.
