As someone from the USA what I see from media coverage is genocide in Gaza. They would have to be truly ignorant and intentionally uninformed to say something like that or be in favor of genocide.

did you ever consider that media coverage is very selective and biased ? i remember half an year ago, during ceasefire when gaza was swamped in aid and food was rotting on the streets, laura coates at prime time said that "hundreds of gazans die from starvation daily". never happened. not even dozens. or when at abby phillips show yesterday, somebody tried to say that presenting images of children with genetic diseases as image of children who are dying from starvation is manipulative, abby phillips stopped this person and said that it's not important. nyt for example quietly updated it's story on this topic https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-862667 https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-862667 you must have seen numerous mentions that 500 trucks of food to gaza is minimum (and actually needed even more), because it's the number of trucks that were entering gaza before war ? but did you see even once mention that 500 is total number of trucks that included construction materials, animal feed, etc.. etc.. and maximum of trucks of food that entered gaza in 1 day before war was 72(82?) you don't get journalism in mainstream media coverage anymore. you get activism https://www.thefp.com/p/friedman-when-we-started-to-lie https://www.thefp.com/p/friedman-when-we-started-to-lie

    Struggle harder to explain how 10's of thousands of civilian deaths out of a population of 2 million and which has been increasing during the "genocide" can possibly be a "genocide".

      Well, that's also something they said. We may or may not find the final numbers after the war. Remember the official death count is frozen since March 2024, since they killed the people who were counting the deaths.

        I really have no idea what you are talking about. There's a genocide. The people who are doing the genocide told us they were doing a genocide, so there's no need to read the tea leaves. Genocides are bad.
