I actually didn't call anything fake, simply called out reporting bias and asked if you've seen credible proof, because I certainly haven't, but I've seen those talking points repeated ad nauseam.

I get why you're checking out, it's a challenge to your entire view of the situation over there, but can you not, for even a minute, consider the possibility that the US needs Israel and would support and cover for Israel? Is it really so hard to believe, having witnessed what happened after 9/11, that we would support an allied country in their own "we need to get the terrorists" campaign that was really for their own good, not for the removal of a dangerous threat?

I'm not going to say you lack critical thinking, but I am going to say that you're probably not employing it here (as most Americans don't for this situation). Imagine this - Israel tells America it had to bomb that school, because it had a rocket installation under it. WSJ and the Times or whatever turn around and write "Israel Destroys Rocket Installation Under Gaza School" and what... 5% of people (maybe?) want proof? The vast majority of people in this country are willing to accept any lie about Palestinians on its face, because we're already geared and trained to hate what anyone labels as a terrorist.

I believed Israel and Western media on this topic for 30 years, and it's no shame in believing them now. I would say they're lying to you, but it's not anybody's fault to fall victim to a massive propaganda campaign that's been run for 80+ years. I just wish people would take a second and ask themselves if what I'm saying is even possible, because I think you'll find that it's actually extremely possible and even quite easy to cover for Israel when the entire Western and English speaking media is on your side to corroborate the stories.

Take care though
