    It’s an opinion article by the same author Rifqa Hijazi, and it looks to be posted verbatim.

      This piece was reprinted by Truthout with permission or license. It may not be reproduced in any form without permission or license from the source.

      It says this at the bottom of the article. They just reprint articles from sources cool with them doing that. If you look at an article they actually wrote it says

      This article is licensed under Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0), and you are free to share and republish under the terms of the license.

      instead.

        That’s a common practice. Mondoweiss does the same.

        Mondoweiss occasionally republishes articles from other sources, which is noted in the article on our site. You must contact the original publisher of the item for permission to republish.

        https://mondoweiss.net/republishing/

        I’m a little bit confused by what is your concern here. The Truthout directly links to the Mondoweiss in the byline and article is posted with permission with the goal of helping it spread. There isn’t original source per se as the content is identical.

          There isn’t original source per se

          If you would rather post the Truthout version that is fine, but the original article for this article spefically is the Mondoweiss one, it is the original source and was submitted there by the author, it is simply redistributed by Truthout. I don’t know what you think redistribution is at that point if you think there isn’t an original source.

            <…> it is the original source and was submitted there by the author <…>

            The same is true for the Truthout version. It was authorized by the author not just Mondoweiss.

              I disagree with your definition of original source. If AP writes an article, then Yahoo news takes that article and attributes it to the AP and links to the AP article, and publishes it, that yahoo news article does not become the original source the AP article is the origanal source.

              In the case we are discussing the Mondoweiss article is a full day older, I don’t understand where you are coming from. If you want to post the reprinted version that is fine, but you are not posting the original article when you post a reprinted version.
