Bombing fucking Bethlehem on Christmas is just such over the top cartoonishly evil shit and pro-Zionist (fascist) liberals still fucking defend this shit.
Hey! Just for fact’s sake - not trying to minimize Israel attacking Bethlehem on Christmas - the article doesn’t mention any bombing of Bethlehem, it was a harassing raid by ground forces that arrested a few people as part of an intimidation campaign against the west bank.
Regions in and near Nablus, Jericho, Ramallah and Bethlehem – which Christians believe is the birthplace of Jesus Christ – were also raided overnight by Israeli forces, Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut reported.
Obviously that’s still vile and again shows how close the army and illegal settlers are. But a raid rather than bombing.
You are right. Within the past few months, Israel has bombed some areas in the West Bank, but Bethlehem is currently not one of them.
Some humans insist on being rotten.
Liberals support this do they? I doubt anyone getting arrested at the protests for ‘hate crimes’ has come down from Chipping Norton.
Most Moral Army on Earth, everybody

Considering some humans to be “not humans” is a primary tool of fascism.
Probably best to avoid de-humanizing anyone if you truly want to end fascism rather than re-create it under a different name.
Humans can do terrible, abhorrent things. It’s good for us to remember that, as we are also human; And capable of the same atrocities if we aren’t careful and vigilant.
they’re human, but inhuman.

Jesus what a trash headline. The article says nothing about Israel attacking Bethlehem or anywhere in the West Bank. The article only says people in Bethlehem are sad about what is happening.Yes, there is a lot of bad stuff that the Israeli government does, but don’t blatantly lie about stuff that doesn’t happen like the truth doesn’t matter.Edit: The first article was hidden by the way my lemmy app handles links vs comment bodies and i misunderstood what I was clicking.
There are two articles in this post. The title you complain about is from the one you didn’t read.

https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2023/12/24/muted-christmas-as-palestinian-christians-mourn-for-gazaThank you for correcting me! I got confused by how my lemmy app displays links vs links in comments.
The article says in the second paragraph that Bethlehem was “hit” with a raid by Israel.

I love the insinuation being made here. It’s like watching a real-time Holocaust denial unfold.
Just out of curiosity, what is your definition of a respectable source?
Newsmax
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/newsmax-bias-credibilty-reliability/
Even better then al-jazeera /j
A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency, and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for profit or influence
Any other outlets?

@Dreamer Source having high factual reports and fact checking their sources instead of just posting their agenda? https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ is usually pretty good even if it’s not perfect
“Media Bias/Fact Check rarely conducts original fact checks as many other sources are faster and do a better job. We primarily rely on fact-checkers affiliated with the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN).”
Source: Media Bias Fact Check
Writers at the Poynter Institute, which develops PolitiFact, have stated that “Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific.” In 2018, a writer in the Columbia Journalism Review described Media Bias/Fact Check as “an armchair media analysis” and characterized their assessments as “subjective assessments [that] leave room for human biases, or even simple inconsistencies, to creep in”.

Now this is good bait; kudos, to you! I can barely tell if you’re trolling

@brain_in_a_box I’m sure that CCP-funded or Russia-funded media like RT are much better sources./s

So what you’re doing?
Think you dropped this!
🤣
NYT reported on the increased raids in the Jenin refugee camp: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/24/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-war-west-bank-jenin.html
NYT is still a pretty respectable source, plus it floats more pro Israel than Al Jazeera.
This article doesn’t specifically say anything about a Christmas day raid though.
Counter disclaimer, AJE does great work and is only lambasted by low information racists
Al Jazeera isn’t even reporting on it. The article OP linked doesn’t say anything about Israel attacking anywhere in the West Bank, let alone Bethlehem.It just says people in Bethlehem are sad that people in gaza are dying.The OP is clearly lying to try to drum up anti Israeli support by putting a blatantly false headline and hyping nobody does any research. Disgusting.Edit: The first article was hidden by the way my lemmy app handles links vs comment bodies and i misunderstood what I was clicking.
