Contradictions

85%

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • The quote from Algerian ambassador Amar Bendjama stating that a vote in favor of the draft resolution is support for the Palestinians’ right to life and against their suffering implies that voting against it means supporting Israel’s actions, which is not necessarily true.
  • The statement ‘proceeding with a vote today was wishful and irresponsible without providing any evidence or context to support this claim.’ is misleading as it does not provide any evidence or context to support the claim.
  • The statement ‘voting against this draft resolution implies an endorsement of brutal violence and collective punishment inflicted upon them’ is misleading as it does not provide any context or evidence to support the claim.
