If the Israeli fire has not ceased, by definition there can be no ceasefire. It is the media’s job to accurately and objectively relay this fact

Israeli officials welcomed the investigation, saying the leaked footage created a 'blood libel' against the soldiers

Mainstream media conveniently forgets to report that Israel's attack on Gaza last night conveniently interrupted Netanyahu's corruption trial

Eyewitnesses say Muhammad al-Halaq stood with his arms folded, posing no threat, when a single, deadly shot was fired. The soldiers later appeared to celebrate.

No reason was given for the numbers, which are a dramatic decrease from last year’s ceiling set under the Biden administration of 125,000.

Con este argumento ha cobrado la vida de más de 60 personas, a quienes ha señalado como narcoterroristas, sin mostrar pruebas que avalen esos delitos, amparándose solo en videos.
