The first one 404'd me, and the others are all sub-par fact-checkers, which barely cover the actual event the OP is about.

They are shitty links, socks.

The first two are OK, the second two are merely aggregate pages (not unusual). If you don't like one of them, include it in the list at /s/ShitpostNews. It's not cricket on Saidit to tell users they're providing "shitty links", as you know. To read normal websites (like Reuters websites), you may wish to clear your browser cache.

Fact Check-Photo does not show Biden kneeling before Israeli President ‘pledging support’

By Reuters Fact Check

4 Min Read

A picture of U.S. President Joe Biden kneeling in front of outgoing Israeli President Reuven Rivlin and his chief of staff Rivka Ravitz has been mislabeled online. Some posts and articles have wrongly said he adopted the pose to “pledge unconditional support to Israel”. But Israeli press widely reported that Biden meant it as a light-hearted show of respect after learning that Ravitz was the mother of 12 children.

Posts with the false allegation can be seen here , here .

Some iterations (here) feature a screenshot of an article titled “Biden Kneels Before Israeli President; Pledges Unconditional Support to Israel.” instagram-image-CQ_7MQ5tZ7W

The story was also published by U.S. conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ website Newswars here . Another article visible here: archive.ph/vEKUB includes the headline, “Biden Literally KNEELS Before Israeli President In Bizarre And Humiliating Display — Pledges Unconditional Support To Israel.”

Biden met Rivlin on June 28, 2021. During the encounter, Biden described his commitment to Israel as “iron-clad” and said Iran would not possess a nuclear weapon during his time in office (here).

The photo in question was tweeted by Israeli news outlet Yedioth Ahronoth here on July 2 with the description: “@POTUS Jokingly kneels to Rivka Ravitz, the chief of staff of the Israeli president @PresidentRuvi, after she told him she is a mother to 12 (!) children.” The outlet credited the photo to Haim Tzach of the Israeli Government Press Office.

Ravitz reportedly told Israeli journalist Sivan Rahav Meir about the moment here . According to Ravitz, Biden also showed her a picture of his mother afterwards.

Israeli reporters and outlets also said Biden knelt after hearing about Ravitz’s children here , here , here , here , here .

Biden’s press team did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment. VERDICT

Mislabeled. Photo shows Joe Biden kneeling in front of Rivka Ravitz after learning she has 12 children; not kneeling to express “unconditional support” to Israel.

You come here to stir up shit where none existed previously and insult us. When people try to have actual conversation with you, you do all you can to prevent it. If anyone here is posting shit that is "low on the pyramid of debate", it would be you.
