On some incidents there are conflicting reports. On plenty, there are consistent and corroborated reports. Your approach would require enormous coordinated global conspiracy.
I'm not disappointed many left wing voices are so fervently anti Israel. I think that position gets more and more justified each and every day. The Israeli army is only barely not outright genocidal and the extreme violence they employ is as cruel as its counterproductive.
What I am disappointed with is that they're selective with it. A lot of leftist voices rightfully shaming Israel for doing this were also the one glorifying Russia for its illegal war in Ukraine because America bad.
So are they this critical of Israel because the actions of its army are horrid, or are they just critical because its an American ally doing it against an American enemy? That said I think a lot more centrist voices with the right take on Ukraine are also very hesitant to condemn Israel for things they rightfully condemn Russia for.

They are correct about the ADL, Israel, the Azov battalion, etc.. But wrong on Ukraine, if we don't send weapons to Ukraine more Ukrainian deaths will occur from Russian hypersonic weapons strikes.
The funny thing about US hatred of combat exp people is that they assume that if you join the US military or various police forces which is the only US-allowed combat exp given US citizens who joined the Kurds in Iraq were attacked by the US government you will have a decent chance of being loyal to the US vs being a malcontent like me.
They don't want the Spanish Civil War to occur again which is logical.
Honestly I see more condemnation of both from the left, as long as you stay out of the Tanky Zone.
Israel should make Gaza look like Auschwitz museum - council head
David Azoulai, head of the Metula Council, proposed sending all Gazans to refugee camps in Lebanon and flattening the whole Strip so it becomes an empty museum like Auschwitz.

Very healthy society coming up with proposals like this. Flatten everything, make it a monument to our brutality! Then they'll see. They'll all see!

The propaganda is that strong especially when virtually the entire establishment combining political, media, and the dispensationalist Christian church all plays a huge part. Its creates a kneejerk emotional response that just cant cut through on certain people

In 1982 I am a Christian travelling around India with a bunch of Armenians and a Palestinian. I loved the times we spent together. It was hard for the Iranian Armenians as the Ayatollah was making life hard for them. And the Palestinian was nervous about things going bad for his people. Before the Palestinian left to defend his people back home we had a big argument where he ended with “You know nothing!!”…and he was right. I came from a background of being defensive towards the Jew and their prior traumas.
I am still a Christian 41 years later. Now I look at Matthew 5,1-12 and wonder how Israel could lose itself so terribly. The empathy towards these Muslim brothers and sisters that are sacred souls before them is lost in their blindness.
A Jewish Rabbi leader came out with the same above comment about Israel, and how they have forgotten and lost the path to humanity and God. I wish I could go back 41 years to that Palestinian and hug him, call him brother, and say Yes, you are right.

buying Israel's bombs for them and now protecting them from efforts to stop the genocide.
Smart Alec still not bald or win’ing, but like the IDF he’s got some experience firing a gun at innocent people so his stance here isn't surprising.
