Seven Questions Before You Share

A claim about any conflict — not just this one — should survive these seven questions before it earns a repost. From EveryClaim's propaganda-detection framework.

1. Is it fact-sourced?

Can you point to a primary source that actually says this — or are you trusting a screenshot of a screenshot?

2. Is it consistently applied?

Swap the names of the two sides. Would the same conduct get the same label? If not, you've found a double standard.

3. Is it proportionally accurate?

Do the numbers actually match the label being used — and is the claim comparing like with like?

4. Is intent proven — or assumed?

Documented policies and orders are evidence of intent; working backward from outcomes alone is assumption dressed as fact.

5. Is context preserved?

A claim with the timeline stripped out — what came before it, what triggered it, was the account contemporaneous — is half a claim.

6. Is the opposing view acknowledged?

Can you state the other side's argument without turning it into a strawman? If you can't, you don't fully understand the claim yet.

7. Is a single standard applied?

If you anonymized the actors, would the analysis still reach the same conclusion — and would it hold in other conflicts?

Failing a question doesn't prove a claim false — it means the claim is unverified. Share accordingly. Propaganda's favorite move is presenting an interpretation as if it were a fact; these questions pull the two apart.
