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 went there and it was really weird. Like I’ve heard r/worldnews is a fucked sub but it really felt like all the comments seemed like they were from another planet. Everyone was acting like a) these weren’t soldiers for an occupying army and b) that something especially brutal is being done to them. Like if IDF soldiers aren’t legitimate targets then you’re really giving up the game here.
Yeah, the amount of people framing them as basically innocent kids was disgusting. In all reality I wonder how many really are bots
Propably also a lot of hasbara posters, Israel pays those quite well.
