I’m speechless

On a related note, it’s amusing how there’s a bit of a civil war they’re having over blaming Brandon for enabling Israel’s genocide, and blaming him for “funding” Hamas and not helping them enough. Going by the comments.

    What are they even complaining about? That they used the same image for 3 different articles?

        Except the facts didn’t change, the IOF just refused to claim responsibility, and are now scrambling to assign blame elsewhere in order to create FUD, which is pretty typical wartime propoganda, especially if they are planning to mount a ground offensive soon. We all fight over who bombed the hospital while ignoring the ground offensive that is imminent.

        Regardless, this is just one incredibly egregious war crime in a sea of war crimes this week by the IOF, so it’s very funny to watch the hullabaloo around them attempting to pin this on the IJF. Ultimately, the original claim of the NYT headlines is still completely accurate, but the idea that headlines are altered to obfuscate the truth is somehow ‘leftist’ or ‘communist’ is typical reactionary boomer brain in action, which hasn’t read a real book since high school forty years ago.

        lmao when you’re so high on liberalism you don’t recognize passive voice in headlines when the edits are right in front of you defend increasingly passive voice headlines that exhonerate the oppressor as being “more accurate”

        this has been critiqued for years, I’d thought libs like you died out entirely after 2020

        you have until this countdown ends to do some self-crit and delete your comment countdown
