Despite the reality carefully researched and documented by not only Amnesty International but by a preponderance of the world’s human rights organizations, CNN employed language that carefully constructed a sympathetic narrative around the mental health of a soldier engaged in actions that the World Court has acknowledged as a plausible case of genocide.

Critics argue that CNN’s story is emblematic of a broader trend of double standards within corporate media. For instance, the New York Times has reported on Israeli soldiers’ "panic attacks" as newsworthy yet has not offered similar mental health coverage for Lebanese or Palestinian civilians who are being killed and injured in large numbers.

    It’s fucking sickening they are trying to portray themselves as victims for participating in a genocide. I only wish all of life’s misery on this human trash.

      This has always been Israeli MO tho

      At least, normal people are starting to see it.

      The real value about oct attack is that it woke up the western citizens to wtf we actually funding here…

      Disgusting but nothing we can do about it now.

      AIPAC is a foreign agent and must be forced to register as such.

      Their decades old propaganda campaign in the US is how we got here.

      They grossly misrepresented history and they were successful. This cant happen again, otherwise never gain is just a shiti PR slogan to enable another genocide
