Idk if Reddit got overtaken by bots lately but there are some crazy colonialist takes on the conflict sub.

So US and British media is all of Western media? Doubt she read news sources in non-English languages. The West is bigger than the Anglo sphere

I mean TBF the US, UK and Germany is a good part of the Western world.

The sad state of affairs that Aljazeera has shown to be a million times more reliable than our western news during this genocide...

Every major Westen newspaper that was supposed to be "reliable" uses different terminology for Palestibian vs israeli attacks. Israelis were all brutally murdered. Palestinians just die.

Lies by the IDF are all verbatim repeated and put in headlines without disclaimer.. The corruption of our media is truly akin to how I perceived Russian media before this.

Even supposedly reliable news like Reuters and AP have published multiple IDF propaganda lies.

Not to mention NYT and Wapo which actively manufacture consent for Genocide and still post disproven falsehoods.

No Arab country has stepped up to either defend Palestine or take in refugees. I could really care less what Al Jazeera or any other Arab publication has to say on the matter.

The Arab world has zero interest in solving this thing. Why would they give up such a powerful tool for riling up the masses? Kinda like American Republicans losing abortion. Not a fight they wanted to win.

Exactly, why I wouldn’t take any Arab news on this subject seriously.

How ironic, this is a perfect example of the kind of thing the article is describing lol

That’s a bunch of words that have no meaning whatsoever. It’s like saying European colonialism captured 99% of the European Union lol.

You also clearly have no idea what pan-arabism is.
