Just when coverage of Israel in much of the broadcast media couldn’t seem any more spiteful and misleading – the slippage into the mainstream of slurs like “genocide” and “famine”, for instance, neither of which are remotely accurate descriptions for what is going on in Gaza – a story breaks that destroys all my remaining confidence that such outlets will cover the war impartially.

    for every Hamas combatant eliminated, approximately 1.5 civilians have been tragically killed

    They're claiming that a full 40% of the 40,000+ deaths so far were combatants. What a coincidence that it's almost exactly the percentage you'd get if you counted every "military aged male" as a combatant.
