@BenRossTransit @Alon let me ask you, in a war is there ever not a great deal of unfair portrayal? is that so special?

in the Western press, you can make at least as strong a case that there is a tendency to overcaution + overly generous interpretations of Israel’s actions.

one of the first things i wrote about all this was about the stupidity and counterproductiveness of accusations like “genocide”. but, to be fair, my reticence seems less and less defensible.
