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.

    Genocide is a slur now apparently? That's neat. Just like Biden killed the me too movement I guess this genocide is going to kill the word genocide?

      In this house we believe that...

      -Genocide is a slur

      -Antizionism is the worst Antisemitism

      -Facsism is preferable to Communism

      -Housing is for those that can afford it (no handouts)

    And it’s not just theoretical: the IDF’s morality is seen in its actions. It is currently trying to dismantle probably the most extensive, cunning terrorist infrastructure ever known, one that is highly likely to have been built with the help of hundreds of millions of Western taxpayer money, UN and other “aid” funds. Hamas operates via an outstandingly well-constructed tunnel network bigger than the whole London Underground.

    God that first sentence. What an unserious person.

    Hamas’s whole strategy revolves around using civilian shields and as many brutal tricks as possible, such as those that have resulted in IDF soldiers firing on their own and on aid workers.

    No, she doesn't explain how they were tricked into shooting aid workers or themselves.

    But according to one analysis earlier this year, even if we accept the terror group’s statistics, for every Hamas combatant eliminated, approximately 1.5 civilians have been tragically killed.

    She doesn't even bother linking the analysis. Is this a poorly thought out reddit comment that got too big for the character count?

      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.

        I see why you wouldn't like to an analysis that's supposed to help your point, if it's just "guilty until proven innocent".

    Since when is "broadcast media" critical of Israel? Even when it tries to be "balanced" they always have to throw in stuff like mentioning "Hamas run health ministry" everytime they mention the death toll on civilians to stop Westerners looking too deep into it.

      If I was asked to write satire of a shameless zionist shill I wouldn't lay it on nearly this thick.

    Just like hogs, these zionist ghouls don't seem to fully understand the gulf between how good they have it and how poorly they should have it.

    Pretty sure this toadstool was one of the very loudest voices saying “Corbyn is anti-semitic for thinking Palestinians should exist” back in 2019.
