Good call on noticing Max's glitch with the video clip of civilian men being executed in a pit. It seems The Guardian reported on this video in 2022, and while I don't consider The Guardian a trustworthy source of information, the timeline establishes that the incident could not have taken place during the recent siege of Gaza.

To be fair to Max - he has been pulling together really long videos with a lot of footage to help people follow what is happening in Gaza in face of a real dearth of information from the MSM. He also contributes his extensive historical knowledge of the situation to help people understand the background of the events. If he occasionally uses an inaccurate clip in error, that hardly condemns the rest of his really excellent work.

It's not like he's pulling some huge salary doing all this, or has a network behind him full of support technicians and researchers.

Regarding the footage of Israeli settlers who are apparently rushing to take up residence in an apartment building when the legitimate Palestinian residents are attending a funeral... I agree there is not enough evidence in the video footage to verify Max's narrative, but the settlers' body language is certainly interesting. And it fits a larger pattern of Jews taking over Palestinian apartments in reports as recent as 2015 and 2021:

Like you, I really like Max, and I'll continue watching and appreciating his reports - while continuing to exercise discernment about everything I see on a screen.

He's a knowledgeable source on the region, and the global technocratic order, and usually pretty trustworthy as in I don't think he would intentionally use atrocity propaganda for political reasons in the same way a Ben Shapiro would.

Palestinians are called ''terrorists.'' Israelis are called ''settlers.'' I call BS.
