Comment on [Opinion] In Gaza, Disease and Illness Are Hidden Horrors of Genocide

Just letting you know because you probably care about this thing, this article was originally from Mondoweiss, in an effort to avoid reposting I would probably just use the original source over Truthout, when it is an article recirculated by them, I posted this like 10 minutes before you with the Mondoweiss article.

It’s an opinion article by the same author Rifqa Hijazi, and it looks to be posted verbatim.

  It says this at the bottom fo the article. They just reprint articles from sources cool with them doing that.

    That’s a common practice. Mondoweiss does the same.
    
    Mondoweiss occasionally republishes articles from other sources, which is noted in the article on our site. You must contact the original publisher of the item for permission to republish.

    I’m a little bit confused by what is your concern here. The Truthout directly links to the Mondoweiss in the byline and article is posted with permission with the goal of helping it spread. There isn’t original source per se as the content is identical.

    If you would rather post the Truthout version that is fine, but the original article for this article spefically is the Mondoweiss one, it is the original source and was submitted there by the author, it is simply redistributed by Truthout. I don’t know what you think redistribution is at that point if you think there is an original source.
