The U.N. independent investigator on the right to food accused Israel of carrying out a “starvation campaign” against Palestinians during the war in Gaza, an allegation that Israel vehemently denies.

In a report this week, investigator Michael Fakhri claimed it began two days after Hamas’ surprise attack in southern Israel that killed some 1,200 people, when Israel’s military offensive in response blocked all food, water, fuel and other supplies into Gaza.

Following intense international pressure — especially from close ally the United States — Netanyahu’s government gradually has opened several border crossings for tightly controlled deliveries. Fakhri said limited aid initially went mostly to southern and central Gaza, not to the north where Israel had ordered Palestinians to go.

Netanyahu would deny bombing Gaza entirely if he thought people would believe him.

He's not bombing Gaza, he's decluttering it /s

Why is that headline phrased as if both statements carry equal weight?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because AP adheres to the the absolute neutrality dogma that's been destroying journalism for decades with its false equivalences.

The same dogma that compels media to pretend that such things as Darwinian evolution or anthropogenic climate change are just subjective opinions that are up for rational debate rather than the overwhelming consensus of every scientist that's not either a crackpot, taking bribes from special interests to knowingly lie, or both.

You’ve enunciated that really well. I’ve never really tried put that into words, it’s just something that I’m surprised that more people don’t see. It drives me nuts that everything has to be given the same credence no matter how obvious the disparity of moral weight
