Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Appears? There's video and photos of people burning to death. At least one of the victims has been identified. There are reports from traumatized eyewitnesses. Why the timid headline? Do we have to wait for Israel's word on what happened?

If you have wondered how some people deny obviously documented things like the Holocaust, this is a prime example.

Yes of course.

US raises concerns.

Israel promises to investigate into the matter.

Then we never hear of it again as the newer atrocities are bigger than the last.

We’ve been in this loop for a year now. It’s not new.

Someone should raise concerns in response

The people who own/work at CBS certainly seem to think so, which says a lot about their "journalism."

I don't exactly see an exodus of journalists to more independent publications because they refuse to print such horseshit, so yes, the people who work there are part of the problem, too.

tbh though work at large publications are probably easier to get/pays better/more reliable, so it's not like journalists that stay at these places necessarily agree with the publications' stance

So the "I'm alright Jack" posture.

It's a selfish and immoral posture already when one takes it at the voting booth to chose a candidate that will personally benefit them whilst screwing most people, but it's especially low when one for personal upside maximization is knowingly part of the machinery that swindles people into supporting a Genocide well on it's way to Holocaust.

A lot of them are zionists
