  • So you’re choosing the Netanyahu fanzine to increase the chance that Zionists don’t dismiss the story out of hand?

    Yes. My powers are limited, so I do what little I can.

  • Not that your claim was hard to believe, but because I like being well-sourced, I looked it up and you’re correct:

    Most prefer to be identified as Palestinian citizens of Israel.[8][9][10] International media outlets often use the term "Arab-Israeli" or "Israeli-Arab" to distinguish Israel's Arab citizens from the Palestinian Arabs residing in the Israeli-occupied territories.[11]

    source of except

    Seems like international media should find a better label for them.

  • I originally found it on Al Jazeera’s live coverage, which is difficult to link to. I only later found a second source, which I used. I never came across Haaretz’s coverage. I probably would have still chosen Times of Israel because “Israeli evil” coverage is less common from them than from Haaretz; I would imagine more Zionists read Times of Israel than Haaretz or they’d already care about Palestinian lives.

    Edit: sorry, I misunderstood your post. You’re not calling Al Jazeera lying press, you’re noticing the similarities between Nazi propaganda and Israeli propaganda.

  • Israeli soldiers raid, order closure of Al Jazeera office in Ramallah

    Jump

  • Al Jazeera’s live coverage a few minutes ago posted an update saying:

    The closure order was signed after a legal opinion and intelligence assessment “determined that the offices were being used to incite terror, to support terrorist activities and that the channel’s broadcasts endanger the security and public order in both the area and the State of Israel as a whole,” a military statement said.

    In some sense it is true that the broadcasts endanger the state of Israel: in the sense that accurately showing the atrocities Israel commits weakens global support for European and American colonization of the Middle East.

  • That headline is biased. It makes it sound like Israel is conducting a legitimate investigation that will have legitimate consequences. But the actual news is that Israeli soldiers are throwing bodies of their victims off roofs.

  • Israel Gaza: UN says Israeli air strike killed six of its staff

    Jump

  • They employ 30,000 people. It’s only natural that after decade of abuse, at least a few will use force against the blockading super-power that periodically kills their children at random.

    And Israel made allegations against 19, only 9 of whom the UN found good evidence for so there’s a better than 50-50 chance a given “Hamas” UNRWA employee is perfectly innocent. Most “western democracies” wouldn’t take a 50-50 shot at killing civilians but Israel’s so called “precision strikes” demonstrate they’re perfectly happy to murder arbitrary numbers of children in the process of killing a maybe-terrorist.

  • Israeli troops fire shots at UN polio convoy in Gaza

    Jump

  • That’s fine, but I think you’ll be able to reach/influence more people with intentional source selection.

    In this example, if Iran claims the UN said that, I’d still go and confirm it (which I did). If Al Jazeera or Reuters says he said it, I don’t feel the need to double check; I know they won’t flat out lie. Someone lazier than I was here might just remember this story as a “maybe” if they didn’t bother checking the source themselves.

  • Israeli troops fire shots at UN polio convoy in Gaza

    Jump

  • Then use Al Jazeera. But if Trump Media tells me it’s rainy in the Pacific Northwest I’m going to have doubts, and if Iran says Israel’s doing Israel things… I’m going to have doubts.

  • Israeli troops fire shots at UN polio convoy in Gaza

    Jump

  • While there’s nothing about the story that’s hard to believe given Israel’s love for genocide and harming anyone who cares about the humanity of Palestinians, can we get a source that isn’t literally Iran?

  • Israeli strike kills dozens in Gaza humanitarian area

    Jump

  • That’s one heck of a crater for a strike on tents. I’m sure they’ll release footage of the strike showing that it was secondary explosions, and not that they used enormous munitions to obliterate bodies so the reported casualty count from bodies at hospitals is lower.

    My tax dollars at work, funding genocide, and nothing I can even do about it.

  • But per the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which has been widely adopted (and here), anti-Zionism is antisemitic. Why do you hate Jewish people?
