I don’t usually talk about Israel/Palestine, but as an Israeli citizen who doesn’t support genocide, I need to speak out.
We’re seeing, on a massive scale, news websites release articles saying “Israel bombs hospital in Gaza” and revising it to “Israel, Hamas trade blame for hospital bombing in Gaza”. Every single news site is doing the same thing.

Every single news site is changing their headlines, but instead of admitting the correction as is done in every single other instance of this updating, they are acting as if this was always their headline. Note the repeated use of "Hamas and Israel trade blame” in the new headlines. This is the power the Israeli military has over the news, the control the US government exerts over every outlet, and the proof there is no unbiased reporting on Israel/Palestine. Our only accurate source is the civilian journalists being killed in Gaza and having their access to the outside world cut off.
(Before this is reposted and I am accused of being a self-hating Israeli citizen and Jew, I need Zionists to understand that the US military is not Judaism, and making the leap from “the US government exerts control over a lot of media” to “Jews control the media” shows more about you than me.)
