Case in point. Even the mainstream media does not tell what is actually happening in Gaza, despite the many journalists on the ground there, and you heard "genocide" and immediately think - or "know" - that is something that Israel is doing.

"The abundant evidence of genocide is just Iran tricking you" is not the take I thought I'd see, but here we are.

We are in a thread about how pro-Palestinian posts are being suppressed. You seem to be under some illusion that people who disagree with you are unaware of how content affects them. But what you're proposing is being a contrarian. I am not going to drink lead paint because the social media tells me not to.

That Israel gave another state perfect ammunition to demonize them does not make what Israel's doing any less real. That's just a dumb mistake they made. I can monitor what content is making its way to me, because I don't trust Iran either. I am aware that things will be exaggerated and misreported. But I am going to evaluate evidence, not throw everything out the window.
