A Western Publication (London Review of Books) fails to reiterate the Western narrative

 The London Review of Books has an article, "War Crimes", asking if Israel might be committing war crimes in their war against Hamas in the Ghaza. The article starts with concluding that Hamas is guilty of multiple war crimes and should be prosecuted, but asks if Israel might also be guilty of war crimes, and fails to find a strong negative answer to that question, in heinous violation of the official Western narrative that Israel is entitled to self defence and there is nothing Israel can do that could possibly be considered a war crime: the Israelis have come in peace to the Philistines over and over and were always met with violence, and the Israeli response to that unprovoked violence can never be considered a crime of any kind under any circumstances.

Much of the non-Western media accuse Israel of war crimes for destroying the Ghaza. The Western media all agree that Israel has done absolutely nothing wrong: all of the Ghaza support Hamas who killed more Israelis than ever since the creation of Israel, more than anyone since the Nazis (well, not according to the Gray Zone, who say the Israeli Occupation Forces, not Hamas, killed many of those killed on 7 October, but the Gray Zone are mostly ignored, or, if not ignored, disparaged as liars by the Western Media).

The Russians taped and broadcast repeatedly the EU official saying that no Russian media will be allowed in the EU. The West will never allow any non-Western news to be broadcast in the West. Russia were banned in February, 2022. But then in December, 2022, the PRC news, PressTV news, and Al Jazeera were also banned, since none are Western. Only Western news may be seen anywhere in the West, they have every other news blocked.

If one somehow has access to Western and non-Western news, one gets two contradictory versions of what really happened, and since both might be lying, one has no way of knowing for certain what the truth is anymore: Is Israel guilty of war crimes, as the non-Western media say, or only Hamas, as all the Western media reiterate? Is Israel responsible for the many deaths of civilian women and children in the Ghaza, or is it all Hamas who won't let them leave, or is it Egypt who won't let them leave? And will Israel allow any food or water into the Ghaza, or will they starve the citizens there?

I guess we'll see when the truce ends.
