This video shows a recent confrontation wherein Israel exposed a report by Arab nations about the Jewish population in their countries

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The video’s presentation suggests that Israel recently confronted others at the UN and exposed an Arab nations’ report about Jewish populations. The review identifies the speaker as Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, rather than an Israeli representative, and places the speech at a UN Human Rights Council debate in March 2017. That makes the clip an excerpt from an earlier speech, not evidence of a recent event involving Israel. (S1)

يقصد: عدد مقترحات القوانين التّي قدّمها نوّاب المجلس النيابي الحالي في 7 أو 8 أشهر تُساوي أضعاف عدد مقترحات القوانين التّي قدّمها نوّاب المجلس النيابي طيلة 5 سنوات من 2014 إلى 2019

Publisher’s rating: الادعاء "مضلّل، حيثُ بلغ عدد مقترحات القوانين التّي تقدّم بها نوّاب المجلس النيابي الحالي منذُ انطلاقته في مارس 2023 حتى الآن 14 مقترحًا، لم يتمّ المصادقة عليهم بعد، ولا يزالوا في مرحلة العرض على اللّجان، وذلك وفقًا للموقع الرسميّ للبرلمان. وفي المقابل، بلغت مقترحات القوانين لنوّاب المجلس النيابي 2014 - 2019 إجماليًا 77 مقترحًا، تمّت المصادقة على 9 منها، وذلك وفقًا لتقارير "مرصد مجلس" التابع لمنظّمة "البوصلة"

Em um vídeo, um homem está reagindo e dando risada ao ler o tweet “Lula ficou no 299° lugar entre os 301 candidatos ao Prêmio Nobel da Paz. Eu fico pensando que ainda tem mais dois indivíduos pior que ele [sic]?!”. Um segundo conteúdo traz o mesmo texto, mas com emojis de risada e uma imagem do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL).

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The claim under review is that Lula placed 299th among 301 candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize. The article calls that claim misleading and says a related rumor had circulated since 2019, after Argentine activist and sculptor Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, a 1980 Peace Prize laureate, began a campaign to have Lula nominated. It says the claim resurfaced after the 2023 prize was awarded to Narges Mohammadi. The supplied review does not describe checks of the video’s reaction or the separate Bolsonaro-image post, so it supports a conclusion about the ranking claim, not those specific media details. The key evidence is that the Norwegian Nobel Committee does not disclose nominees or other selected candidates until 50 years after the prize is awarded. The article therefore says it is impossible to establish from public information whether Lula was nominated, much less whether he ranked 299th. It also quotes the committee describing claims about nominations as speculation or information supplied by those behind a nomination. The article explains that the committee assesses qualified nominations, creates a shortlist, and announces only the laureate. The review further reports that Brazil’s Presidential Secretariat reiterated that names remain undisclosed for 50 years. These disclosure rules directly undermine the post’s purported precise ranking: the information needed to verify it is not publicly available under the stated process. The excerpt does not provide evidence identifying who made the posts or establishing their video provenance.
