Does a video show a grieving father cuddling the lifeless body of his toddler who died as a result of the October 2023 Hamas-Israel violence? botty: No, that's not true: The recording predates the October 2023 conflict. artiefast: Any more background info? botty: It went viral for the first time in 2021 with a description about a sick child being comforted by a pet cat. artiefast: "Well, it looks like this video has been caught in a time warp! Turns out, it's not a heart-wrenching scene from the future, but just a sweet moment between a child and their furry friend. I guess even fact-checkers need to double-check their calendars sometimes!" SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show 'Pro-Palestine Activists' Setting Fire To Police Station In Brussels In October 2023 -- Footage Is From 2021 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-pro-palestine-activists-setting-fire-to-police-station-in-brussels-in-october-2023-footage-is-from-2021.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Am I the only one wondering about this? Does a video show "pro-Palestine activists" setting fire to a police station in Brussels in October 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The footage is from January 2021, when people in Belgium were protesting police violence after a Black man died while in police custody. artiefast: Are there more details? botty: The video, published on multiple international news websites in 2021, has nothing to do with the Hamas-Israel conflict in October 2023. artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like time travel isn't just for the movies anymore! Apparently, these 'pro-Palestine activists' in Brussels have figured out how to set fire to a police station two years before it even happens. Talk about being ahead of their time!" SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: NO Evidence Gordon Ramsay Banned Megan Rapinoe From His Restaurants For Life -- It's Satire To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-no-evidence-gordon-ramsay-banned-megan-rapinoe-from-his-restaurants-for-life-its-satire.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Have you found any more detail about this? Did celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay ban soccer player Megan Rapinoe from his restaurants for life? botty: No, that's not true: This claim is from a satirical website with a disclaimer that tells readers everything on the website is fiction. artiefast: Do you have more? botty: There is no evidence from legitimate news sources that Ramsay has banned Rapinoe from his restaurants. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out that Gordon Ramsay isn't banning Megan Rapinoe from his restaurants for life. I guess even he knows that you can't handle the heat if you don't have a sense of humor!"

Does a video show Palestinian children "searching for burnt food" after airstrikes that occurred during the 2023 Hamas-Israel conflict? botty: No, that's not true: The footage predates by three months the conflict that arose after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. artiefast: I did not see that coming. botty: The mislabelled video documented the aftermath of a fire that destroyed tents in a Syrian refugee camp in Lebanon, about 200 miles from Gaza, the focus of the fall 2023 Hamas-Israel conflict. artiefast: "Well, folks, it seems like someone got their wires crossed on this one. Turns out, those 'searching for burnt food' Palestinian children were actually just really early Black Friday shoppers in a Syrian refugee camp. Talk about dedication to finding a good deal!" SEGMENT 12 Fact Check: US Marines Did NOT 'Capture Deep State Base In Bloody Battle' To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-us-marines-did-not-capture-deep-state-base-in-bloody-battle.html 12 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I asked Siri about the next thing, but she didn't know. How about you Botty? Did U.S. Marines capture a "deep state base" in a "bloody battle" in Camp San Luis Obispo, California? botty: No, that's not true: A Pentagon duty officer confirmed to Lead Stories that this claim is false. artiefast: I should have probably looked that up. botty: The claim appeared in an article on a website that regularly publishes fabricated content that is often mistaken for real news. artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like the 'deep state' has taken a vacation to Camp San Luis Obispo, California! But fear not, our brave U.S. Marines were there to capture the base in a 'bloody battle'... or so some wild rumors would have you believe. I guess the 'deep state' forgot to send their secret agents on that day! Maybe they were too busy planning their next secret potluck." SEGMENT 14 Fact Check: That's NOT People Sleeping On Ground In Gaza In October 2023 -- It's World Youth Day In Portugal Weeks Earlier To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-thats-not-people-sleeping-on-ground-in-gaza-in-october-2023-its-world-youth-day-in-portugal.html 14 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I guess I could Google this, but I might as well ask you. Does a video show displaced Palestinian people who had no place to go sleeping outdoors on the ground? botty: No, that's not true: The video was filmed in early August 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal, during World Youth Day, an international Catholic pilgrimage and gathering with the pope. artiefast: Glad someone did the research! botty: The video is unrelated to the Hamas-Israel conflict and Israel's October 13, 2023, evacuation order for civilians in the northern part of Gaza to relocate to the southern part. artiefast: "Well, folks, it turns out those weren't sleepy Gazans, but rather some enthusiastic Catholic pilgrims catching some Z's after a long day of praying. I guess even the faithful need their beauty sleep!"

Did the "Palestinian ambassador in Japan" say that the Al Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza had received a warning from Israel before an explosion on October 17, 2023? botty: Yes, that is true. artiefast: Is that so? botty: However, the representative, Waleed Siam, later corrected himself, clarifying that his words about the warning were related to previous airstrikes, not this particular one. artiefast: "Well, it seems like the Palestinian ambassador in Japan had a case of 'airstrike amnesia.' I guess even diplomats can have their 'oops' moments!" artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
