Moslims sloegen met een kapmes een auto en een ruit van een joodse restauranteigenaar in.

Publisher’s rating: De beelden tonen een stevig uit de hand gelopen caféruzie in Engeland. Er is echter geen enkel bewijs of geen enkele reden om aan te nemen dat de aangevallen partij Joods zou zijn of dat antisemitisme meespeelde in dit incident.

The video shows a pub fight in Wakefield, England, in which a man struck a car and a window with a machete. The review found no evidence that the targeted party was Jewish or that antisemitism motivated the incident; it says the venue was a typical English pub, not a Jewish restaurant.

Video shows a road rage incident in Delhi

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review reports that the video shows a road-rage incident in Tecnológico Toluca, Mexico, rather than Delhi, and dates the incident to December 2022. It says the location was identified by comparing the video with Google Maps Street View and by checking news reports and a statement from the State of Mexico’s security secretary.

“Novas diretrizes do Poder Judiciário que praticamente autorizam a invasão de domicílio. [...] A decisão partiu da 5ª Turma do Superior Tribunal de Justiça, o STJ. [...] O rompimento do cadeado ou a destruição da fechadura da porta — da porta de uma residência, por exemplo —, com o objetivo de efetuar o roubo usando, inclusive, arma de fogo, configuram, segundo os ilustres togados, meros atos preparatórios. Sendo assim, impedem a condenação por tentativa de roubo. O marginal arrebenta sua porta e não é condenado porque não concluiu os trabalhos. [...] Estão autorizando a tentativa de invasão de sua casa com arma de fogo sem que isso configure crime.”
