I hate that shit like this is literally used to defend Israel. Even now we’ll see articles written that are finally acknowledging Israels crimes. But they always have to add “well Israel says it isn’t”.
Giving even a crumb of text to say “what Israel says” should be considered a crime of propaganda and incitement of genocide at this point. If it’s not followed by a clear statement that their words are just more lies. Journalist can come to conclusions from evidence and I’m sick of this gross “both sides” shit western media continues to do.
There is no reason to tell us what excuses a genocidal ethno supremacist state is making. I’m so tired of having to hear:
“so-and-so well respected institution has finally said something is a genocide after two years of watching a genocide happen. BUT the state doing the genocide also says ‘nah, we aren’t’”
It’s just gross.
I guess it’s time to bomb them again.
