    It’s almost funny how many of these cretins think it isn’t propaganda if you’re just ‘reporting what you’re told’ uncritically

    To some people, it has to be deliberate and malicious to qualify

      as our boy Adam Johnson often says, the basis of propaganda is emphasis not lies. What is being emphasized and what is being ignored is far more relevant and insidious than any outright falsehoods, which are often debunked.

      edit: it’s pernicious!

      oh, but you see, they printed “as official close to administration says”, they didn’t lie anywhere in their own voice. who knows what editor thinks greenlighting this story but not that one, they are also a smolbean. nobody can possibly be responsible.

      But that wasn’t even what he did. Well, it’s not all he did. He reported the Israeli dog war crimes because he’s a true believer in the zionist cause. He is the ultimate fool.

    I would rather these people be frothing at the mouth about loving the genocide in Gaza. This “oopsy daisy who could’ve seen this coming? We are very concerned” shit is disgusting

      It’s a step in the process of “one day everyone will have always been against this”. If Israel persists (God willing it won’t) eventually it will be viewed as the genocide of native Americans, something that was terrible (with tones of who really gives a shit) but it’s already done and what can you really do, there’s so few Palestinians and they’re already living in ghettos reservations we graciously gave them from the land we stole, they should really just be happy with their place & be glad they aren’t in one of the mass graves…

      they were frothing at the mouth for a year or two. They’re only changing their stance now that the tasks is mostly completed and Gaza irreversibly damaged and depopulated. They can all be “sad” and cry over getting exactly what they wanted to absolve themselves.

        That’s gotta be some sort of record for the time between “shoot and cry” though. Can’t wait for the Summoning Salt video.

      It’s fucking obscene this guy of all fucking people is like “gee how did we get here?” These people know and they post this shit anyway.

      Gulag is too kind a fate for people like this asshole who know exactly what they did and knew it as they were doing it to feign any surprise or sympathy for the genocide they helped launder every step of the way.

      Every single person at NYT WaPo etc deserve the fucking wall.

    I almost feel bad for Kristof. He was a loyal liberal zionist who dared report on some Israeli war crimes, so now he is in the situation of all non zionists knowing him for what he is and all zionists rejecting him because he dared blink when staring at war crimes rather than clap.

    And so it begins. Now that resistance has been all but crushed and Iran tit for tatting with the U.S., so begins the era of “Everyone will have always been against this.”

    What did he mean by “allow Gaza to happen”? Is he too afraid to say the word genocide and too ashamed to say conflict at the same time? Coward piece of shit.
