      You know, those dirty dark-skinned people might have sexually corrupted those ethnically pure wome. It’s one of the strongest primal tropes for propaganda use.

    Since when does Hamas give a shit about public perception??? Rape and murder are fine but they draw the line when Kentucky Karen clutches pearls?

      OP is radically pro-Israel. They did everything they could to avoid admitting that it was bad to bomb refugees, especially after telling them to go and then bombing them when they go there. They just kept talking about bad things Hamas did as if that justified bombing refugees. All I can think is they don’t consider Palestinians to be human.

        Maybe, but that’s not how the article is framed.

        Personally, I don’t think someone spouting off should be repeated. Good journalism would be investigating and verifying the claim.

          He’s a government spokesman. Good journalism is to quote him directly, which they did. Quotation marks and everything.

            Good journalism would be not quoting and repeating unsubstantiated claims at all.

            Unless you’re going to write an article saying “spokesman makes wild and unsubstantiated claims at press conference”.
