I remember when Menachem Begin’s Likud, won in the papers and on TV news OMG this said to be the worst thing that could ever happen!

After the 6 Day war I noticed a change in news reporting about Israel. Before Israel was a spunky little nation, After. Suddenly started seeing positive stories about the PLO, and Arafat. Then in 73 Israel won again and with (Horror of Horrors) help from the (Evil) Richard Nixon.

Yes. If you'll notice, the NYT headline I post in the article is very negative toward Begin's victory. But they sure love Jimmy Carter (pictured beside that headline).

Ya know, looking back at it, it appears corporate media back in The Day and corporate media today, Not all that much different. They were just able to hide it better.

Most places had 3 networks and 1 MAYBE 2 newspapers. And they all told the same story.

Israel is genociding the Palestinians. And it is becoming more and more obvious as more and more evidence comes out, that October 7, 2023 was a false flag operation. IDF soldier Shitrit's Knesset testimony about the stand down orders, and more and more testimonies have come out recently. It is a word game. "war" is false, it is a slaughter of women and children and total destruction of all infrastructure that can sustain life in Gaza. Israel is simply evil.

It seems to me that if Israel is "genociding" the Palestinians, there would be a few million more of them dead. At least a few hundred thousand more of them. Israel has had plenty of time to actually do the things you say they already have done, but clearly have not.

I think that completely falsifies your theory. Jews are not known for their incompetence.

It is completely reasonable to criticize Israel's conduct of the war, although a bit unseemly on the anniversary of Hamas raping and murdering 1,200 Israeli civilians. It is simply an abuse of the dictionary to call any of this "genocide", and you seem to be calling for Israel's destruction, which would require genocide against the Jews. In point of fact, Hamas's charter calls for that exact genocide.
