Indisputable Proof Of Propaganda

It's always more pronounced when you have direct experience of media lies inaccuracy. Al Jazeera this time:

Celtic fans pledge ‘unequivocal support’ for Palestine despite backlash

Fans of Scotland’s Celtic Football Club have pledged to continue their display of solidarity with the people of Palestine and “show the world that the club stands with the oppressed, not the oppressor” in the wake of Israel’s ongoing attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip and despite backlash from the club’s board.

Celtic’s fierce local rival Rangers have, in turn, supported Israel whenever both teams have met in the Old Firm – local derby – fixture over the years.

The blue-and-white-kitted Glasgow club held a minute’s silence for the people killed in Israel ahead of their Premiership match last weekend.

The bit in bold is nonsense. I was at that game.
1. It was St. Mirren’s home game, not Rangers and not even in Glasgow.
2. There was a minute’s applause pre-match, not a minutes silence.
3. It was in memory of former St. Mirren player Frank McDougall. Nothing to do with what was going on in Israel and nothing to do with Rangers.

I'm used to the Scottish press spreading nonsense about Rangers but this is the first time I've noticed Al Jazeera doing so.
