    Have you noticed how the articles keep mentioning the Oct 7 first, something that happened 6 months earlier, then goes on the passively call “Palestinian deaths” and not tie to Israel directly, in their titles at least? That is what me and all the people are criticizing the western media about. Direct perpetrators and blame is pointed when it is Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Houthis, or any other Muslim population, and indirect, passive voice is used when it is something the western politicians support. Even goes as far to picture only structural damage rather than how hundreds of people are found killed by Israel’s unproportionate, deliberate and zealos attacks most of the time.

      France24 is the only foreign news channel we get over here in MiidleOfNowhere South Africa (because reasons), and I’ve been watching their coverage of Gaza with interest. If their “news” is to be believed, the bombs falling on Gaza and the bullets raining down on Palestinians trying to get food from aid trucks is spontaneously created out of thin air and not launched or fired by anyone.

      Western mainstream media is as hasbara as fuck.
