Wow... the one millionst journalist telling the same lie and pretending that support for Palestinian citizens is support of Hamas terrorism.
When some of the loudest voices criticising the brain-dead support of Israel's government above all else actually come from jewish communities in Germany as they are the ones that are not so easily branded as antisemites for not cheering for the slaughter of civilians.
PS: And a nice touch to pepper a report about antisemitic opinions with pictures from a demonstration in Berlin that was entirely peaceful and without any antisemitic messaging (the police arrested maybe a handfull of people in total and confiscated some banners early on... out of ten thousands of people).
Genuinely asking, what do you think is the reason behind all those journalists "lying to us" on this matter? Is it their own motivation or do you think someone tells them to lie? If so, who? Or are they being paid to do it? If so, by whom?
Probably a mix (and being well trained by the massive backlash in their industry to every criticism of Israel for years and decades) but I seriously don't care anymore. They should be doing their actual job to inform. When did we forget that media and an informed population is one of the pillars of a working democracy?
So a mix of their own motivation and likely support of Israel, being told, of being paid, and being pressured by backlash if they report contrary opinions, or as you said, tell us lies.
But by whom then? Who's behind this? Israel? Pro -Israel thinktanks? Someone else? All of them? Sorry, please don't take this in a bad way, but I find it hard to believe that you don't care enough to never have thought about it.
