Checking your sources

1) Watch the video/writings/podcast/etc. and listen to it CAREFULLY.
2) Listen to weird, interesting, abnormal part of the video SEVERAL times.
3) THINK on why would they create this, who is creating this, when was it created? Use what you have known to determine as many of these questions.
4) If you still don't know these key information (why would they create this, who is creating this, when was it created?). GOOGLE it.
5) Check MANY sources for credible information on the author of the video.
6) GOOGLE the information provided in the video.
7) Redo steps 3 to steps 6 of you still doubt the information or the author. Go to steps 8 if you think you know all information.
8) If you found false information, the video/writings/podcast/etc is a BIG LIE. THINK on why would they lie to you?

Flotilla Protest homework (Marc3pax)



1) 1) H1) Have you had a look on various sources to find out what Marc (Marc3pax)does?
                          I went to various sources and from the information I pulled out, I can conclude the followings:
1.   Marc3pax is an Israeli Actor name Omer Gershon, from there, we can see that he has a very high chance of being biased. The truth: he is biased.
2.   The video is in part of a hoax campaign, directed and spreaded BY the Israeli Government.
2) 2) 2) How does this video relate to the flotilla movement?
                          Since the Israeli Government is related to this video, it must have something to relate to the flotilla government and it is. The video is trying to make people think that the flotilla movement is bad. It is try to convince the people to picture the Palestinian Government as an evil side of the movement. This video is full of propaganda and hoax to against the Palestinian Government and the flotilla movement.
3) 3) 3) Is the video objective 
                          I don't think the video is objective because it is part of Israeli Government so it must support the Israeli Government and attack the Palestinian Government, therefore: this video is biased.
4) 4) 4) Is there evidence supporting Marc3pax’s findings?
                 Marc3pax does not give supported evidence for most of his claims on the Palestinian Government and the Hamas. Only some obvious claims like Hamas against homosexuals have evidence to support.

Notes on Hamas:
                Leader of British + Leader of Hamas = linked to flotilla movement
                Hamas = no homosexual
                “           = mentally + morally sick

Wordle

From this wordle, I can see that I have used a fair amount of keywords. However, I think I need to use more keywords to make my project review better.
