    It is not the job of any journalist or publishing house to label something a genocide.

    That responsibility belongs to the ICJ and UN.

    Journalists report reality, they do not shape it.

      It is their job to ensure those they interview are held to account when they misrepresent the facts and that they not slant the facts to favor some predisposed political notion they have.

      You’re fixating on the specific term to avoid acknowledging the problem that I’m talking about.

        Can you link to a single instance of NPR misrepresenting the facts to benefit the Netanyahu regime, or are you just talking out of your ass?

          I already did in the course of this conversation. Continuing to use the term “war” is one example, as I said. It is not a war, you cannot be at war with a territory you already occupy that has no statehood or military. Framing it as a war is very misleading.

          And I even pointed out in your interviews how they are allowing twisting of the facts on air to go unchallenged.

            I guess continue to only get your news from the Grey Zone or other sources who are willing to confirm your biases.

            I don’t really give a fuck what you read or think.
