       We are not in a good place. The Onion parodied more or less the cruelest thing you could say, then CBS actually said it.

       @tomjennings there is/was a Russian parody/satire news site Panorama some years back and it posted all kinds of news titles that, unfortunately turned out somewhat prophetic in this way also. :blobcatoh:

       @tomjennings I understand that you are upset when innocent people are killed but why do you frame the legitimate concern of israeli life as a kind of cruel joke?

       @tomjennings OK. An inquisitorial headline indeed. However the two are not quite comparable. In Israel, including the south of Israel, there is quite widespread condemnation of their own government (which is not a terrorist organisation, for all its failings), even as they mourn their loved ones and fear HamĂĄs's next strike.

       @tomjennings I think you should probably read that CBC report. Not comparable at all.https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/gaza-israel-palestinian-hamas-war-1.6996889

       @tomjennings What CBC wrote is not even close to the same thing.

       @tomjennings CBC seems to report "The Satire was Real" on a regular basis.

       @tomjennings Surely they don't actually expect them to condemn Hamas.

       @tomjennings I'm honsestly surprised that The Onion doesn't have a recurring headline, a lĂĄ "No Way to Prevent This"

       @tomjennings @ZhiZhu “none would blame #Hamas for instigating a new war. Nor would they condemn the group for its indiscriminate killing of 1,400 Israelis, including women, children and the elderly, during last Saturday's surprise attack.... when CBC News asked Abdullah how he felt about Hamas's horrific attacks and the murder of hundreds of people from #Israel and almost 30 other countries, he placed the blame on Israel's government...”https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/gaza-israel-palestinian-hamas-war-1.6996889

       @tomjennings Hamas isn't even the government of the occupied West Bank. It's a pathetic litmus test in the first place, but not as pathetic as the journalists who should be informed.
