    Respectfully, I don’t know if, er, electronicintifada.net is exactly a good source for unbiased news on this topic. I wonder what the article says…

    Israeli propaganda officials are reportedly upset…

    It truly is a work of science to take “some government propaganda officials are reportedly upset” and somehow turn that into “The entire state of Israel is FURIOUS…”.

    Almost as if the headline was engineered to reinforce pre-existing biases or something.

      Israel’s clamped down on more legitimate sources and is even trying to kick of Al Jazeera (which has consistently led in terms of accuracy in journalism).

      American news isn’t a good source for unbiased news either, but people still post it.

      I honestly don’t know why people post obvious propaganda like this. It’s like they don’t even care about convincing anyone and are trying to undermine their own argument. It’s not as if you can’t find more than enough very critical coverage of Israel in reputable sources. Maybe they’re so far down the rabbit hole, they genuinely think obvious propaganda outlets are more reliable than something like reuters.
