Is it true they actually used a picture of a random bombed building at first?
It was a building bombed in Gaza the day before the parking lot event, so not random but clearly intentionally misleading. You can only see the top line there, but there is a small caption on the full image indicating it came from somewhere else.

A meeting hall next to the church (part of the church complex?) collapsed, so close enough to be accurate?
I would count that as part of it, so accurate

Memri TV mostly exists to provide great screen caps, but is there any neutral party that will provide accurate translations of Arabic media to English? We know the biases of Al Jazeera or Al Arabia.
Is there any billionaire out there just setting money on fire to help expose western audiences to the nuances of the Arabic politicians and sentiments of the street? C'mon Bezos, we know you're good for it.

Is media literacy taught in schools, or does that fall solely on parents still? Like those with teenagers, do they know what an algorithm is and how it works?

Per relevant legal experts, as Musk forum shopped, his lawsuit against Media Matters for America is likely to survive preliminary motion to dismiss, with a chance of prevailing on defamation by implication, which is kind of what they were going for.
