If Russia claimed that Ukraine had bombed a hospital with sky high civilian casualties, the world would pause and check the facts.

(In fact, from memory, Russia bombed a Ukrainian maternity hospital... Did Russian spokespeople get grilled on live air television about it?)

So why did the world not pause and check the facts when Hamas made its claims?

Regev is spot on when he says that Israel is held to a different standard.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Israel is perfect or the IDF are perfect and that they would never ever bomb a hospital. (I *do* know they would never target a hospital, however Hamas makes that more difficult. See the other article I posted.)

I know that there are citizen journalists out there who are keeping an eye on the Ukraine/Russia conflict and calling out Russia's bullshit.

Is there anyone doing the same for the Israel/Hamas conflict?

If not, why not?

If yes, please point them out to me.

Many people working at the agency are “aware of the historical and #structuralbias,” the recent #NAACP #report found. Yet decisions about whom to #protect from #flooding #disasters and how to do it “are structured in ways that do not always represent the needs of #lowwealth #communities of #color.”
