Can someone provide context for this?
Yeah the media should be ashamed of how that got out of control. It was one broken English quote from a random Israeli soldier without any fact checking.
The Israeli government promoted it first more than news, then Biden parroted it (while lying about seeing photos), which gave the story real legs. There were also supposed journalists all over Twitter spreading it.
These hoaxes and fake stories really do show how little fact checking happens in most newsrooms.
They outright knowingly lie, at the behest of our governments. NYT admitted it, Julian Assange and Edward Snowden exposed all this, not to mention Kiriuk (sp?), Manning and many others. The west propagandize and spy on their own citizens and each other. USA has been doing it since our inception and ratcheted it up with Hearst and the Spanish-American war.

Yes I’m sure Israel has never intentionally bombed civilian buildings. It’s always an honest mistake. Don’t be naive. That’s like saying the US invaded Iraq because there really were WMDs (none were ever found) and not because we wanted someone more pliant controlling Iraqi oil. Good job speaking in meme format though.
