You’re right, it’s a real estate trust.

There’s a term for repeating merely what someone says: hearsay. In no way should that be considered news or journalism.

Good journalism would be not quoting and repeating unsubstantiated claims at all.

Unless you’re going to write an article saying “spokesman makes wild and unsubstantiated claims at press conference”.

True, they’re not targeting civilians. They’re just killing everyone indiscriminately. Hell, they’ve even killed Israelis.

Maybe, but that’s not how the article is framed.

Personally, I don’t think someone spouting off should be repeated. Good journalism would be investigating and verifying the claim.
