(67,385 posts)Well, there's this: how often does American media refer to "Israeli war crimes" outside of simply reporting that "South Africa accused Israel of war crimes," or the like? That is, how often does American media--on its own analysis--describe Israel as a terrorist aggressor? How often do US politicians describe Israel that way?
How often does American media do long-form exposes on the tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians slaughtered in Netanyahu's year-long campaign of deliberate civilian murder?
How often does American media discuss Israeli influence in US politics and lobbying, up to and including their role in pushing for Trump's explicitly genocidal war in Iran?
"Portraying Israel as the good guys" doesn't simply mean letting them ride in to save the day; it also means downplaying or diminishing their daily aggressions against civilians in multiple nations.
There. Now I've answered in good faith as well.
