      “Where’s the jews?” Who says that? It isn’t a thing. What it does sound like is cops covering their arses for not making arrests.

      If they said the entire chant was added later that would have been plausible but the cops are gaslighting us.

      Here is the video.

      Meanwhile there is gaslighting from others saying the Oct 7 massacre didn’t happen.

        watching that video all I can reliably say for certain is they’re chanting something with three syllables. The last one has an oo sound in it.

        I heard an expert talking about it and they said analysis of the sound showed some kind of audio loop indicating copy-paste (I didn’t understand the technicalities) which indicated the audio was manipulated.

          So the police experts were to be trusted that the chant was “Where’s the Jews?” (absurdly, mind you) rather than “Gas the Jews” and yet…

          …and yet we cannot trust them when they explicitly say that there was no doctoring?

          Is that what you are suggesting? Where is this expert you heard?
