X community adds a context note to Rashida Tlaib post:  Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) re-posted a Dr. Omar Suleiman post that included a photo of a fire and said "Dear world, Israel just bombed a Christian hospital in Gaza and murdered over 500 Palestinian civilians. White phosphorus chemical bombs confirmed by human rights watch was not enough to open your eyes. Over 1000 dead children wasn't enough. Will you open your eyes and act now?" Tlaib added, "Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that. @POTUS this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire & help de-escalate. Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many Palestinian Americans and Muslims Americans like me. We will remember where you stood." X added a label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know." The added context read, "The U.S. has collected “high confidence” intelligence showing that the explosion at a hospital compound in Gaza was caused by the militant group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, not an Israeli strike. wsj.com/world/middle-e…" Suleiman's original post did not receive a similar Community Note.

The label is part of X’s Community Notes system. X users are able to sign up as contributors to add context to posts. X owner Elon Musk recently shared that any post with a Community Note added to it will be demonetized. The Community Notes account on X also posted to explain that notices will now be pushed to users that previously engaged with a post about any Community Notes added to it after the engagement.
