  • God, Middle East Eye is worse - they actively provide a biased arguement and have provided 0 Israel viewpoint and refuse to discuss who owns it. Their reviews discuss how they use manipulative language to push viewpoints and pass over any information counter to their agenda.

    Had a look at the clip (well, first minute). Does this sound like a balanced view point to you.

    • YouTuber

    • listed outrage and disgusted before showing the clip i.e told you how to react

    • mentioned issues with screen recording from BBC (nothing to do with the the clip, just there so you already question them)

    • was already at an rally with this viewpoint before the information came up.

    • completely loaded with emotive words and reactions

    Vs BBC clip

    • names, places

    • fact (visited, rally, support, Hamas designated terrorist organization)

    • clear, non emotive language.

    • the only issue is calling it pro Hamas, which is an understandable conclusion as Hamas is the Palestine government. Who is responsiblefor the welfare of Palestine citizens - their government. Its no different than calling supporting American military ops pro-Biden.

    If you go up to my eairler comment MEE is horrific fir accuracy and bias




  • Can I ask you to update your original comment saying this video was made before this article came out, related to a different event at an unknown time, and has been edited?

    I don’t know the name of the logical mistake, but saying they don’t report Israel lies is a falicy. They don’t need to state this is true, they need to factually state this is the viewpoint of the Israeli government, this is their response to this attack. Its not their job to tell us who is right and not, its their job to state both sides of the arguements and report on facts.



  • UN definition

    • proven attempt to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racist or religious group.

    The key difference being we are seeing incidents of killing of civilians - either in conflict (expected) or execution (not expectedin conflict). What we aren’t seeing is a focused attempt at destroying the entire group - 10 here, mostly men, building destroyed there - or clear instructions to destroy the group. Quality reporting is showing individual incidents, mass propaganda and biased articles are calling it genocide.

    No sorry, I cant comment on the difference as that wasn’t my area of study - mine was surface level Syria, Ukraine, Rwanda and War crime definitions, causes and responses. Id be limited to what the other poster said - one spoke German.
