Quote missing its conclusion

This quote: "criticism of the media is of course legitimate, but when it is done by a news channel operated by someone the IDF hired as an adviser for psychological warfare on the social networks" - is missing the end part/conclusion ... i don't have access to the news site to resolve this, but if someone who does have access can complete it that would be grand.

Accurateness of reporting

I think it should be noted that Abu Ali Express makes sure everything it reports is factually correct, and many times actually exposes other news sources when they report lies or mistakes.

This is a rare good point in reporting news these days. Shovalis (talk) 10:39, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is quite literally a "psychological warfare tool", so not sure how it is credible. Iskandar323 (talk) 11:04, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it was that years ago, nowadays it's the best news source available in Israel.. Shovalis (talk) 12:25, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Shovalis: Please provide reliable (!) sources for the claim you want to have included in the article. TucanHolmes (talk) 11:16, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's kind of a hard task. There have been tens of thousands of posts in the channel, their content has never been disputed. Shovalis (talk) 12:24, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Single source

All information in this article regarding the identity of the creator of "Abu Ali Express" relies solely on Haaretz (the MiddleEastEye citation is quoting the same exact Haaretz article without adding any new information).

I've added the One Source template to that section until multiple independent sources are added [[1]]. WikiMan3 (talk) 07:59, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article contradicts sources

I don't have access to the full Haaretz articles, but it looks like there is one article and one op-ed. We should probably not cite the op-ed at all. However, the byline of the feature article says this: "For at least two years, the Israeli army has been employing the operator of a popular Telegram news channel as a consultant for psychological operations on social media.". In other words, it contradicts what's written in our article, i.e. that he is a paid psyops operator. A consultant and an operator are two very different (and contradictory) things. Moreover, the articles that are not paywalled make it clear that there is no evidence, or even indication, that Cohen receives information from the IDF, or instructions on how to run his channel (i.e. no evidence that the two gigs are related). This contradicts the tone of the article, which makes it sound like the Abu Ali Express channel is run by the IDF. It would be much appreciated if someone could send me the original Haaretz articles behind the paywall. Also, if no one objects, I'll make the necessary edits to remove these issues. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 19:30, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation of name

I haven't been able to find sources so far, but it seems beyond obvious that the channel's name is a pun on AliExpress (the e-commerce website), which is very popular in Israel. If anyone has a source (even primary) with this information, please post it here. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 19:42, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
