How can the IDF claim that they have precise intelligence and still kill majoritly civilians?! They are monsters!

When everyone is considered a terrorist, you can't ever miss!

I really don’t understand how Israel are beyond reproach by the MSM.

Main stream media as the other person said, but I’m as far from far right as one could get.

You’re welcome.

Main-Stream Media. Usually used by the far right to refer to centrist publications/broadcasters.

Edit: not intending to say that the GP is far-right, and I completely agree that it makes no sense for anyone to support Israel here.

That is some proper sneaky way of trying to undermine the OPs point.

I don’t really see how that undermines anything, I just explained the abbreviation and mentioned how I mostly see it used. The only group I see screeching about how the “mainstream media” is biased against them is the far right.

Most people agree on which news orgs are “mainstream media”: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/05/07/broad-agreement-in-u-s-even-among-partisans-on-which-news-outlets-are-part-of-the-mainstream-media/

And an article on the topic of alleged bias: https://www.npr.org/2022/08/07/1115949410/republicans-have-long-feuded-with-the-mainstream-media-now-many-are-shutting-the

This is the best summary I could come up with:


One of the victims, loaded into the hospital morgue with 10 of his family members, was his own colleague, veteran Palestine TV correspondent Mohammed Abu Hatab, 49.

A mere hour earlier, Abu Hatab had delivered a live report on the Israel-Hamas war’s casualties from that very location for Palestine TV, a network owned by the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority, Hamas’ political rival.

Searching for words to describe what Abu Hatab’s loss meant to him and to the network, al-Bashir cracked with emotion.

Al-Bashir was flushed, pacing backward as he said the world was ignoring the war’s staggering toll on Gaza civilians.

Since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel, the Israeli military’s retaliation has killed over 9,000 Palestinians and wounded thousands more, says the Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza.

They remembered him as a quiet and gentle man who brought homemade hummus to worn-down journalists camped outside Nasser Hospital during the war, even as Israel’s tight siege made food and water harder to find.


The original article contains 702 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 76%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

American here, just wanna chime in and say it would be very unlikely to send aid to Israel via a referendum (direct voting.)

This war and US support of it is another fine example of how American 'democracy' isn't democracy at all.
