Community description for ManufacturingConsent is “when the media decides who you are rooting for.” So, being banned for questioning their narrative strikes me as absurdly funny. I mean, I guess if the idea of the community is that geneva_convenience should decide whom you root for, that would track.

The post in question: https://piefed.ca/post/266435

(I pointed out that the Guardian was probably including the hostages who died after the attacks. This really bugged OP and led to a ban.)

I don’t really care for a remedy, seems a silly place. Just thought it was funny as heck.

(For what it’s worth, like most, I side with Palestine but I think being accurate lends credence to our cause.)

      Did you mean to respond to another comment or did you completely miss the point?

      Edit: to put it more politely… The entire above point is that rhe evil of Israel’s war does not change whether murdering and kidnapping civilians is wrong.

        See this reinforces the removal you’re complaining about.

        The entire above point is that rhe evil of Israel’s war genocide and colonial project does not change whether murdering and kidnapping civilians is wrong.

        What you miss is at this point Israel has been ICE the entire time

        Do you not understand why going into a thread about bias in reporting to make Israel look good then blaming Palestinians and equating hamas to ice would be frowned upon?

        Gotta love when people come in here acting like the innocent victim and then take their mask off in the comments.
