This man publicly stood in Montreal and celebrated October 7 in a grand party.

The content of this article is in stark contrast to the information I'm seeing from other posters as well as relatively non-partisan sources such as the BBC and Wikipedia. I've done some preliminary fact-checking to try and gauge how much I trust it. Other HN users may find this helpful.

Media Bias Fact Check report on True North:

> These media sources are moderate to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appealing to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.

The linked article hinges entirely on the content of a few tweets by twitter user @l3v1at4an (https://x.com/l3v1at4an). The twitter user almost exclusively posts about Palestine, Hamas and Hezbullah, with a distinct anti-Islamic and pro-Jewish slant. The subtitles in the videos are translated from arabic and supplied by this twitter user.

Googling for 'Mahmoud Khalil "repeat the strike"' or 'Mahmoud Khalil "kidnap the soldiers"' produces only the True North article as a result.

The above is enough to raise suspicions about the translation quality in the video. Would be great if someone with better knowledge of Arabic was able to verify or refute the translated subtitles.
