    Yeah. Not a surprise. Why would they care about a Palestinian child when they’re killing their own people to make sure those Palestinians are eradicated from the face of the earth?

    Israel is a failed state currently run by war criminals and terrorists.

      In the same sentence The Guardian will call israeli’s Children, and Palestinians People aged 18 and younger (this is a real article from not a meme):

      You cannot make this shit up.

      All of mainstream Western Media has become a shameless giant brainwashing conglomerate controlled by Zionists.

        “Children” “People aged 18 and younger”

        These are not the same thing. “Children” are people under 18*, if the deal included people who were 18 it would have been false to call those adults “children”. They could have said, “women, children, and 18 year old men” but that would have been even clunkier than “people aged 18 and younger” as the latter was clearly the cohort intended by the deal.

        *According to the Guardian News & Media’s Editorial code of practice and guidance

        GNM considers anyone aged 17 or under to be a child (this is in line with the UN convention on the rights of the child, the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office guidance on children and the GDPR and its age appropriate design code of practice for online services, and most criminal law legislation in England and Wales).

          Well The Guardian sure didn’t stand by that one

          This article was amended on 23 November 2023 because an earlier version referred to the Palestinian prisoners to be released as “women and people aged 18 and younger”. That was changed to “women and children”

          The other wording of israeli Hostages vs Palestinian Prisoners is also damning since many Palestinian children were kidnapped and held hostage by israel without any charges. More Palestinians are being held hostage by israel than israelis by Hamas.

          Along with many of their articles using the same type of passive voice for the “deaths” of Palestinians and the “killing” or israeli’s such as the current one. This needs to be mentioned so these outlets start receiving flak for it and start using consistent wording instead of their current biased langauge.

        Are all western media are controlled by the Jews or are there exceptions?

            Oh, I was trying to understand your position on who controls western media. That’s all.

            Unlike you, I personally don’t believe Israeli Jews and their allies control all mainstream western media.

              Zionism and Judaism are not related not sure why you keep spreading Anti Semitism.

              Joe Biden himself said that he is a Zionist but not a Jew.

          No. It seems you are assuming all Zionists are Jews, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Most Christian Nationalists are also Zionists.

              I don’t honestly know his opinions on the matter, but politically, he has used Zionist language as well as anti-Zionist language depending on whichever is more convenient for him at the moment.

                  Not directly. They are mostly indoctrinated by Christians from the West. There is a common belief among Evangelical Christians that the Israeli state is a requirement (much like the Antichrist) for their god to rapture them all up to heaven and end the world.

      It’s The Guardian. They’re good on lots of issues but have a massive blindspot when it comes to Israel. They were absolutely awful in their reporting of the bullshit antisemitism allegations when Jeremy Corbyn was Labour leader.
