1. Without a doubt. Democracy Now through Jeremy Scahill was pushing the LIE that the rapes and tortures were "exaggerate"

It is such bullshit. How dare that jackass try to diminish what happened on October 7.

The Guardian has the headline, "Israel to ‘seize more ground’ and warns Hamas it will annex parts of Gaza"

Conveniently leaving out in the headline: " unless Hamas released the remaining Israeli hostages still held".

with every adjective or adverb putting negative emphasis on actions of Israel, while ignoring the simple fact that if Hamas had released the hostages a year and a half ago, none of this would be happening. In fact if Hamas had NOT done the Oct 7 slaughter, think how many lives would still be alive today.

It isn't convenient to talk about the catalyst that started all this.
