Just when coverage of Israel in much of the broadcast media couldn’t seem any more spiteful and misleading – the slippage into the mainstream of slurs like “genocide” and “famine”, for instance, neither of which are remotely accurate descriptions for what is going on in Gaza – a story breaks that destroys all my remaining confidence that such outlets will cover the war impartially.
And it’s not just theoretical: the IDF’s morality is seen in its actions. It is currently trying to dismantle probably the most extensive, cunning terrorist infrastructure ever known, one that is highly likely to have been built with the help of hundreds of millions of Western taxpayer money, UN and other “aid” funds. Hamas operates via an outstandingly well-constructed tunnel network bigger than the whole London Underground.
God that first sentence. What an unserious person.
Hamas’s whole strategy revolves around using civilian shields and as many brutal tricks as possible, such as those that have resulted in IDF soldiers firing on their own and on aid workers.
No, she doesn't explain how they were tricked into shooting aid workers or themselves.
But according to one analysis earlier this year, even if we accept the terror group’s statistics, for every Hamas combatant eliminated, approximately 1.5 civilians have been tragically killed.
She doesn't even bother linking the analysis. Is this a poorly thought out reddit comment that got too big for the character count?

They're claiming that a full 40% of the 40,000+ deaths so far were combatants. What a coincidence that it's almost exactly the percentage you'd get if you counted every "military aged male" as a combatant.
Since when is "broadcast media" critical of Israel? Even when it tries to be "balanced" they always have to throw in stuff like mentioning "Hamas run health ministry" everytime they mention the death toll on civilians to stop Westerners looking too deep into it.
This woman has also written on Corbyn's (definitely real and not just a well documented smear-job) antisemitism. She's a certified Jew-defender, y'all.
That's all they have. They want to push people into a vibes based space where their personal feelings being mildly hurt are even worse than a fucking genocide.
drives over someone with a tank Israel cuts someone to pieces, steals their organs and skin is rapes around the loots everything not nailed down most lets newborns starve to death moral bombs refugees army sets up kill zones around aid deliveries of flattens whole cities the cuts, food, water, electricity to 2.3 million people world bombs foreign embassies.
Of course it is most moral of the Israel Army to use human shields.
