Community description for ManufacturingConsent is “when the media decides who you are rooting for.” So, being banned for questioning their narrative strikes me as absurdly funny. I mean, I guess if the idea of the community is that geneva_convenience should decide whom you root for, that would track.

(I pointed out that the Guardian was probably including the hostages who died after the attacks. This really bugged OP and led to a ban.)

I don’t really care for a remedy, seems a silly place. Just thought it was funny as heck.

(For what it’s worth, like most, I side with Palestine but I think being accurate lends credence to our cause.)

    Kidnapping civilians is unequivocally bad regardless of whether we think the kidnapper is on the right side of history.

    Being unable to acknowledge the wrongs committed by those whom we support is pretty damn horrifying in my book. To see the same willfully ignorant “america/trump/the church can do no wrong” attitude but on the Left breaks my heart.
