    It’s not about me having a problem to call Israel a terror state, but a piece of text that pretends to be or is at least presented as a journalistic piece obviously not even trying to be neutral at all.

    If someone tells you there exists a ring of sadists torturing kids to drink their blood, are we expected to refute the claims?

    I know I have not posted my criticism in the most adequate manner, but come on, don’t you have any demand in journalistic standards?

    I could claim the IDF is eating babies alive and people would still up vote it.

      Journalism shouldn’t “try to be neutral” they should pursue the truth. The truth is that the IDF is a genocidal force. To try to frame that in a neutral way is to give aid to the genocide.

      The truth isn’t neutral.
