    I’m surprised the NY Times published this information, even if only as an opinion piece, given how long and hard (oh, so hard, with some of the slimiest half-truths, denials, cherry-picking and most differently charged language used anywhere) they’ve been propagandizing for the baby murderers.

    By the way, it’s hilarious that somebody created an account for a badly made spam both just to flood two posts related to Palestine and got banned within 1h or or so for 2 major communities.

      The whole genocide narrative started with a NY Times story about Israel bombing a hospital. Turned out the story wasn’t true, and they retracted it.

      It’s actually a bit of a problem going the opposite way than you suggest. People in news organizations can be emotional and publish anti-Israel stories without proper confirmation because they’re sympathetic to Palestinians. And the stories you’re seeing on Hamas propaganda feeds that don’t get published isn’t because of some Jewish conspiracy, it’s because even emotional journalists can’t justify publishing raw propaganda with zero confirmation.

        Sure mate, the UN Confirmed Genocide and Man-Made Starvation, is “people being emotional”, the various stories the NYT posted immediately after 7 October that later got shown as false and with some even retracted were not at all “raw propaganda with zero confirmation” and the relentless use of differently charged language when referring to Israelis and Palestinians (for example: the formed are “murdered”, the latter only ever “die”) aren’t at all biased and propagandistic.

        By the way, I’ve heard of this water-crossing realestate in New York selling for cheap and you sound like just the kind of person who would buy such a thing…

          So… only Hamas tells the truth and everyone else in the world is lying?

          Yeah, someone here is being suckered…

          I’m not Israeli nor Jewish, but I constantly get labelled a “zionist” anyway because I don’t fall in line with the crazy bullshit conspiracies promoted on this site. You’ve come up with ways of labeling people so you can make them “the other” and acceptable to hate. That’s the tactic of a hate group.

          The tactic of making it acceptable to hate a subset of Jews (while changing the terminology) has been used in past, particularly by leftists. Read up on anti-cosmopolitan campaigns in the Soviet Union. They also use the term anti-zionism back then too, because the Soviets didn’t want to sound like the Nazis.

          But whatever terminology gets used, when you have hateful intent in your movement, you’re in a hate movement. You go around saying the Jews/Globalists/Israel/Zionists/Cosmopolitans are controlling world governments and the media, it’s all the same thing.

            Dude fucking hundreds of thousands of people are dying and starving and you’re arguing semantics from your nice safe place. And making up shit that people are saying. Go fuck yourself.
