Cette vidéo montre un missile iranien s'écraser à Tel Aviv.

Publisher’s rating: Non, la vidéo a été filmée à Moscou en 2023. Elle montre une attaque de drone, attribuée par la Russie à l'Ukraine. Les images n'ont donc aucun rapport avec la situation au Proche-Orient.

The video dates to July 30, 2023, and shows a drone strike in Moscow, not an Iranian missile hitting Tel Aviv. The review identifies the building as being in Moscow’s business district and says Russia attributed the attack to Ukraine.

FEMA is running out of money because it spent it all on helping "illegal aliens" instead

Publisher’s rating: False

The claim was that FEMA had spent its budget helping undocumented migrants and could no longer assist Americans affected by Hurricane Helene. The review says FEMA had funding for immediate response and recovery needs, and that no disaster-relief money was diverted to other purposes. It also notes that the migrant Shelter and Services Program is separate from FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund.

Deze video toont hoe drie meisjes worden lastiggevallen in de metro van Parijs door Noord-Afrikaanse mannen.

The video is staged, not a real attack: it comes from French stunt team Campus Univers Cascades and was made to showcase its students’ skills. The school posted it on Instagram on November 2, 2023.

Olie is net zo natuurlijk en overvloedig als water.

Publisher’s rating: Onjuist. Met het huidige consumptietempo is binnen 47 jaar de wereldwijde olie op. Olie is namelijk een niet-hernieuwbare energiebron. De hoeveelheid water op aarde is daarentegen constant, alleen de vorm ervan verandert (bv. waterdamp of ijs). Bij drinkbaar water heerst echter ook steeds meer schaarste.
