    It has been taken down because the kid involved is the son of a Hamas official, so there’s questions surrounding the authenticity and accuracy of the reporting. He’s not an ordinary Palestinian.

      By that logic, Israel’s a fascist ethnostate committing genocide, so we shouldn’t show their reporting because “there’s questions around the authenticity and accuracy of their reporting”.

        Yeah, that’s what they do on a news report.

        There’s no documentaries claiming to give an unbiased viewpoint from an ordinary Israeli though.

      That is the Zionist line. The narrator’s dad is a civil servant in the Department of Agriculture. Very scary.

          Who is representing Hamas, the depart of agriculture? Sounds like you don’t know how a government works. Are the workers of USDA (United States) representing republicans? Only republicans work there? Only MAGA? Some thing for you to think about.

          It requires very limited understanding to believe the Zionist line, apparently.

Please don’t post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
