The Security Council’s ceasefire resolution has offered “little hope” in Gaza as Israel’s genocidal attack continues to rage. “We believe the reality around us, not the Security Council,” Huda Amer, a Palestinian journalist in Gaza, tells Mondoweiss.
Hm… maybe. I’m not real familiar with them, so maybe they bend the truth to fit the viewpoint sometimes and it’s a bad idea to rely on them. But, just looking at this one story I didn’t see the viewpoint as all that different from a just mirror image of a factual-but-pro-Israel narrative in an ordinary Western paper. I thought just thought it was useful information about “how much does this resolution actually mean, what might make it enforceable, how much has it changed anything on the ground as of now (i.e. fuck all)” and such.
My concern with going case-by-case with articles from a generally non-credible publication is that even if this one is fine, it gives their other stuff undeserved legitimacy.
YMMV, but I feel that generally muddies the waters and does more harm than good.
Yeah, I feel you on that; it’s a fair point.
