You watched a YouTube video where everyone’s faces are hidden, in a non-descript bus in a mystery location, while a scrolling caption purportedly translated something even the literal Nazis wouldn’t have been dumb enough to film, from the POV of the “IDF soldier” who didn’t even show his pantlegs.
Yeah, I don’t know about you guys but I’m going to wait for independent confirmation on this one before I start burning embassies.

Also the source is a well known source of fake news, controlled by Qatar, owned by a Palestinian. Definitely don’t trust it, until a reliable source confirms this.

Yeah, this needs a third party to confirm the translation.

By popular demand I have ripped the audio from the video and threw it through an online translator. The original translations look accurate.
Some other screenshots from the translate:

Is there an article about this, or is anybody able to confirm if the subtitles are accurate?

Middle East Eye is a newspaper not just a YouTube channel, they have confirmed this translation in multiple seperate posts.
They are reputable and even have a good rating even on MBFC. Their past translations have been accurate too. So I don’t see reason to doubt the accuracy of these subtitles.

MEE is anything, but ‘reputable’. Its a Hamas outlet financed by Qatar, run by a Palestinian, with a vast history of spreading fakenews. Just read the Wikipedia entry to get a glimpse.

I have ripped the audio and translated and it was accurate. More info in the post above.

That stuff is despicable and yet some of the less disgusting things the “most ethical army in the world” has done to palestinians.
