Remember though, The Daily has always had a pro-Israeli take on all things Israel-Palestine. It's never been a source of balance or objectivity here. It had the same bias against the BLM movement, until many of it's employees voiced their objection, then it had to listen a little. Sadly, there won't be the same number of Palestinians on staff to raise objection.

This is worryingly poor journalism by the Daily. Extremely one-sided.Very few broad-based facts in this episode, and primarily about driving a predetermined narrative. "Democracy dies in darkness" indeed. And NY Times / editors - you're letting the darkness dictate how it wants to spread. So don't be surprised when the public doesn't believe real media any more, because you're contributing to the very clear bigger picture problem here.

Continue twisting the reality and lie as much as you want. the truth is already obvious to those who have clean hearts. who ever defend a war criminal has the same red hand and involved in the killing of tens of thousands of people.
