Observe Israel definitely not being an Apartheid state.

idk why everyone is angry about pointing out the limitations of contextless garbage content that asks the audience to substitute filling in the blanks with your imagination for journalism. Though tbf it seems like doing actual journalism on this kind of thing is a very dangerous occupation right now.

This is the point I'm trying to get across - three basic questions we learnt in primary school. Who is this, when did it happen, why did it happen/ why is it important? I've had one person tell me it looks like Israeli MPs, one say its police, and someone tells me it's likely in Israel or a settlement. I've been called biased and worse more times than someone can answer the basic question.

The problem is that every article is designed to be read in three seconds, or watch a video that tells you how to react to it, with no authority or actual fact behind it.
