Take a quiz on misinformation, see how you do

I claimed that it was a war crime to use civilian devices, as usual you are being dishonest.
...

They weren't civilian devices. They were communications devices used explicitly by Hezbollah military forces and were triggered individually when they Israelis knew they were in the hands of hezbollah fighters.

And it shows how deeply hezbollah and Iran's intelligence services have been penetrated by Israel.

What I posted about the IOF spraying US students was correct.

Not according to the University who ended up having to pay the student that was accused.
But Columbia has said the spray used was novelty, non-toxic fart spray, bought on Amazon for $26.11, and not a chemical agent.

Or ground news summary if you prefer

Columbia paid $395,000 in settlement after suspending Jewish student for using ‘fart spray’

House investigation reveals a gap between university’s public and private messaging about the incident at a campus protest.

The fact that you know it's fake and you still promote it shows you knowing push disinformation.

They weren't civilian devices.

Pagers are civilian devices used by doctors and others.
You are supporting war crimes again.

Skunk spray is a chemical weapon Israel uses on civilian protesters.
Of course you defend its use on american students by foreign racists.

Columbia settles $395K lawsuit over ‘skunk spray’ controversy at campus protest, report says

The settlement closes the chapter on a January incident Columbia University labeled as a possible “hate crime.” It was later revealed to involve a harmless prank spray.

Its misinformation.
It isn't actually a test.
It is clickbait.
Frankfooter pulled a trick on all of us.

No personal info was sought if you said no to participation, which I did out of mistrust,
but I still did both tests
