"military offensive" - yikes. Shattering blow against civilians maybe. IDF seemed well and running just a day after. How is this a news piece? It is outright propaganda.

There is consensus that The Electronic Intifada is generally unreliable with respect to its reputation for accuracy, fact-checking, and error-correction. Almost all editors consider The Electronic Intifada a biased and opinionated source, so their statements should be attributed.

Overall, we rate Electronic Intifada Left biased based on political editorial perspectives that favor a socialist perspective and strong pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli bias. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to a lack of transparency regarding funding, one-sided reporting, and a false claim. (D. Van Zandt 5/13/2016) (D.

Propaganda is how the imperial media consistently obscures the ongoing genocide by calling it a war, military offensive, etc. Oct 7 was far more of a military offensive than the current genocide against palestinians. People have a right to resist oppression and likewise people have no right to oppress others. Those who steal land, criminally occupy it, and impose apartheid should expect justified resistance.
