    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.
