The word "civilized" has no place in discussing the affairs of this world - Anthony Hopkins as Colonel William Ludlow

If you think it's not covered by the media, then you're not following the media.

The military said that hardened Hamas fighters were hiding among the civilians there, so it struck residential neighborhoods, hospitals and schools turned shelters.

This sounds like an episode right out of Peacemaker or The Boys. I get now why those shows are so fucked up because otherwise people would be like, "Uh, this is just 'the news'."

The irony of using the NYT as an example of media coverage when they STILL refuse to retract the fraudulent "Screams Without Words" article that really galvanized unconditional support for the fascist apartheid regime for the first few months 🤦

The irony of making false statements about media coverage and complaining about false statements in the media.

Less irony, more that you're confidently wrong about the unsupported assertions of the pro-zionist NYT.

Speaking of unsupported assertions, the OP is confidently wrong that Gaza "isn't even covered".

Don't dare criticize any of it because that would be woke or something.

This is what happens when you let a far right genocidal ethnostate buy off the only two political parties...

Sometimes I really think the only problem neoliberals have with putin is he isn't cutting twice as many checks.

An ethnostate that was created by the west (UN resolution 181 )

To create perpetual war starting the very same year

it’s scary how quickly the dnc has dived along with gop. seems like they were always just the “lesser” evil but kept in check by a sane gop threat.

Methinks they're going mask off because we've reached their endgame. The scariest part isn't even Project 2025, it's what they'll implement after they obtain total control.

Praying to the great Ronald McDonald in the sky that the McRib comes back and gets him before that happens.
