The New York Post have never been a trustworthy publication in the first place, but calling this headline a shameless lie isn’t even a strong enough way to express the new low the American media’s propagandizing has reached, especially in the last few weeks.

To make such an extreme claim up out of thin air is almost unbelievable even by New York Post standards. This is what western media has resorted to in order to keep those with nominally pro-Israeli views invested in this conflict, and we can only expect it to get worse as the diminishing impact of the shock factor continues.

    I think that it’s probably better to make jokes like that in small groups of people where you know it will be well received and maybe not make somebody recall bad memories, etc.

      Genuine question, what about that statement is particularly triggering? It's a pretty common sentiment around here, and I've never seen someone ask for a CW or anything.

        It was a joke about something highly unpleasant for some people, deserving of a content warning at the very least, but more likely it could have had the comment removed or account banned from the site even if they didn’t mean it in a harmful way.

        It has since been edited and I do not think the user meant any harm, but the original comment was definitely out of pocket
