This is why people don't support big media. Greta Thunberg was kidnapped. Point blank. Was on international waters. Israel is not the world Police. They do not have jurisdiction in international waters. That is kidnapping. No denying it. And not a single large media corporation is mentioning that. What the hell is wrong with this world?

@ThatOneGuyT_T When you let a regime do anything, it will keep breaking more laws until they find out where the hard place is.

Appeasing them will only make them break more laws more of the time.

@lp0_on_fire "detains" "seizes"
Also, a large amount of the article is given to Israeli propaganda that is provably false, and represents the FACT of them being kidnapped on international waters illegally as an opinion that is debatable. Misrepresenting the facts purposefully is a form of lying

@ThatOneGuyT_T, yes, that's the BBC giving both sides “a fair hearing”, attempting to be balanced. We've seen it before with climate change deniers, Reform fascists etc. and we'll probably continue to see it…

@lp0_on_fire representing two opposing sides that are not equal as equal is a form of propaganda. If 10% of people support option A, while 90% of people support option B, and you present it as 50/50, that is lying. That's not being even or fair, that's lying.

@ThatOneGuyT_T It goes beyond a sense of guilt over the German death camps, doesn’t it?

We are used to asking about Russia and the GOP.

We ought to be asking what power Netanyahu wields over the entirety of the power structure of the white world. Why is every major political party and every major news organization so willing to do Bibi’s bidding? An answer to that question is of great importance.

En direct, guerre à Gaza et arraisonnement du « Madleen » : selon Emmanuel Macron, la France a « passé tous les messages » pour que « la protection » de ses ressortissants « soit assurée »

Le blocus humanitaire à Gaza est un « scandale », une « honte », a déclaré le président français lundi soir alors que le bateau humanitaire, dérouté par Israël, est arrivé dans le port d’Ashdod. Six Français, dont l’eurodéputée Rima Hassan, se trouvent à bord.
