I don't need to believe The Intercept, that was literally US direct response to the genocide in Gaza. Here is a direct quote: Mr Blinken’s public comments that “we provided Israel advice that only the best of friends can offer on how to minimise civilian deaths” <...>

Because everything has to do with Gaza. I see

No, but it shows a pattern. There are plenty of sources in the linked article of the same happening in Nigeria, you just refuse to climb out of your utopia bubble and read those sources that are independent of The Intercept. It's easier to say the source is "POS" and continue living in denial.

Utopian bubble is good. Think I heard it back in the 60s. Goes to prove nothing is new.

Where was the Intercept when Sudan first happened? Where were they when Assad was shooting anti aircraft guns through people's houses? Where were they when Iran poisoned women for religion? No where to be found, because those headlines didn't sell.
