Israel says it tries to avoid harming civilians and blames their deaths on Hamas operating in dense residential areas, including using civilian buildings as shelter.
No you fuckers. These deaths are SOLELY ON YOU.
Why the fuck are my tax dollars being used to help Israel murder babies?
Technically your tax dollars aren’t being used. The US sells arms to israel. We don’t just give them away. So the US is benefiting from this war but not funding it.
What does aid mean then? Genuinely asking, I know the US sells weapons to Israel but don’t they also give financial aid?

Idk how I’m supposed to interpret $15 billion in aid as anything other than giving them $15 billion in money/supplies
The way I understand it is the money is given as grants to israel that have a stipulation that they need to be used to buy US military equipment. Basically it’s taxpayer money being used to buy from american companies via a 3rd party. War is a racket. Your taxes go to the MIC, not israel.
So our tax dollars are being used, but it’s ok because there’s 1 extra layer of abstraction?

I understand that buying american weapons makes the aid end up back in america but it’s still tax payer money being spent on weapons is it not?

Left—center? 🤦♂️
I think this rating is based on the US perception where universal healthcare is communism and MAGA is reasonable.
The justification given in the media bias website is that they are too mean to Trump (I wish I was joking). This particular rating to me was so paper thin and misleading I put in a request to remove the bias rating from the bot entirely.
This can’t be true… Trump didn’t even get the treatment he deserved for him leading an attemped coup. But media is too harsh with poor baby hands Donny?
According to New Statesman’s research, examining the impartiality of the BBC’s reporting shows that they lean right in certain areas, such as business, immigration, and religion.
…
When it comes to reporting the USA and, in particular, former President Donald Trump, there is a negative tone directed at Trump and his policies.
True, but that also puts AP news left-center.
