Jumping in here, they’re fond of distorting the facts to make better outrage bait. They still take every opportunity to claim Palestine Action were targeting planes that were refuelling Israeli jets, the problem with that being the British refuelling system is incompatible with the one Israel uses.
Take an angle, sure. But don’t lie to do so.
As far as I can see they never said that. They just quoted Palestine Action saying that. https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2025/06/20/breaking-palestine-action-break-into-raf-brize-norton-and-escape-undetected/
And the later article https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2025/09/09/doha-raf-refuelling-plane/ said that about F35 which can be refueled by Airbus KC3 Voyager.
Israeli F35s can’t be refuelled by British tankers. They use a completely different system. If the Canary had fact-checked, they’d have realised the British tankers circling Doha were highly unlikely to be party to the Israeli attack on Qatar, as they were in fact participating in a joint exercise with… erm, Qatar.
It’s a pity, because they cover some stuff others don’t.
