We have been here before. Media reports one particular instance of an atrocity. Israel denies being responsible. Media frenzy and social network hypefocus on that one incident monopolizing discussion in all online venues over who did what in a he says, she says manner. Meanwhile Israel commits a hundred similar atrocities without denial and with officials even being proud they did do those other atrocities. But it goes unacknowledged in public discussion, because the one event polemic eclipses reports.
Israel already murdered more UN officials than any other armed force in history. They have even been found specifically targeting them.
It was the same deal with hospitals, journalists, refugee camps, safe zones, killing their own hostages, etc. It’s a pattern by now, but one that is well known.
I didn’t do it, I did it but didn’t mean to, I meant to but for good reason, I had no reason but they deserved it.
Or, we have been here before and it was never that simple. The simpleminded accept the worst because it fits their narrative and deny everything else to the contrary. A strategy of the truly obnoxious in this world is to inundate dumdums with ‘news’ until what they are saying is accepted by virtue of how many times it’s said, not by how true it is. Which one is it, then? I’m absolutely certain you have no idea.
