Israel Has Created a New Standard for Urban Warfare. Why Will No One Admit It? (www.newsweek.com)

In their criticism, Israel's opponents are erasing a remarkable, historic new standard Israel has set. In my long career studying and advising on urban warfare for the U.S. military, I've never known an army to take such measures to attend to the enemy's civilian population, especially while simultaneously combating the enemy in...

Take a look at Times of Israel in MBFC

Amongst other things it says:

Bias Rating: LEFT-CENTER
Factual Reporting: HIGH
Country: Israel
MBFC’s Country Freedom Rank: MODERATE FREEDOM
Media Type: Website
Traffic/Popularity: High Traffic
MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY

When covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they usually are objective and cover both sides fairly, such as this: IDF strikes fresh Hamas targets after 2nd rocket fired from Gaza Strip. However, during the conflict of 2023, they were less objective, focusing on the objectives of the Israeli military. In general, the Times of Israel is factual with a slight left-leaning editorial bias.

This is not a joke, just check it out.

"seizing money" = temporarily frozen bank account until a legal dispute is settled

I didn't find this term in the text (ctrl+f). Why do you have it in quotes?

Apart from that nowadays if a bank freezes a person's account, it's really hard to live/survive in many places in this world and Germany is one of them. Unless you use crypto, and not everybody does.

"Germany" = a German bank

Banks often freeze accounts in order to follow governmental policies, often of protesters. Meaning, one way or another this move is backed by the government.

It’s right there in the headline

Oh the title. I read the article after a sneak-pick at the comment section and yours made me wonder to the point I did the ctr+f thingy.

Well, the title has a quite different quote and that’s what makes all the difference due to the historic reference. I think if you don’t like the title, you should hate the article because of what it is describing in relation to what is happening in Germany to Jewish people, and not about how this article title is written.

Do you deny that Jewish people suffer again on German ground, due to German policies using the argument of defending zionism?
Do you deny that zionism is historically related to fascism?

[edit: oops I thought I was replying to @Tarte and not @rimjob_rainer. Well the questions are for both of you or anyone who cares to answer them. Just to note that suffering is a spectrum. I am not claiming that Genocide is happening again in Germany, but people being targeted to the point of having their bank accounts frozen is a punitive measure to make people suffer]

What We Know About Palestinians Detained in Israel (www.nytimes.com)

More than 9,000 Palestinians imprisoned under Israel’s military and national security laws are being held in Israeli detention facilities, the highest figure in more than a decade, according to rights groups, who say that many of the detainees are being held without charges and have been abused while in custody....

Why Israel has so many Palestinian prisoners - Inside Israel’s dual criminal justice system (Video 11:49)

(...) Each one of these Palestinian prisoners has been processed by Israel’s military court system, which exists completely separate from the civilian court system that Jewish Israelis interact with. This system and the military orders that govern it have their origins in the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories in 1967.

In this video, two experts explain Israel’s military court system, why it’s been a focus of outcry from human rights organizations, and why hostage negotiations have historically involved the exchange of Palestinian prisoners.

Settler leader calls for military action in West Bank 'with the same force as we're using in Gaza' (www.timesofisrael.com)

“The Palestinian Authority is waging a war against us, and only action with the same force as we’re applying in Gaza will eliminate all threats throughout the West Bank,” he says in a statement cited by Hebrew media.

I don't think I understand what you're saying. Can you elaborate?

BTW I applaud the French school system for its enforced secularization.

That's a tricky one nowadays.
No christian (to my knowledge) has ever had an issue to wear a cross, which every now and then comes out of the t-shirt but it makes muslim girls from conservative families stay home, since they are not allowed to wear a scarf at school.

Sure, if you say so. Or should I say, better take a look at the article and try to refute some of its claims by providing the relevant links?

  1. Your answer is not related to my question [take a look at the article and try to refute some of its claims by providing the relevant links?]

  2. Your answer is barely related to your statement. You talk about one incident. It definately does not cover the period you mention [have been shooting rockets at israel from lebanon and syria since the 8th of october].

  • In relation to the NYT article’s that says:

Since Oct. 7, Hezbollah has been firing rockets into northern Israel on a near-daily basis.

It doesn’t mention where this statement is based upon.

  • The other 2 are from Israeli press, so there’s not much to trust there.

  • The CNN one is not related to my question

honestly this is something that if if was written by a human and had a very good science article around it, I could still care less.

This is not a site that is focused on ecology tho and the OP is constantly posting from it. I have asked them these kind of questions in several of their posts on various topics and they have not bothered replying something.

Also there are topics that it is important for the author to hide their identity due to the content they write. This site is not related to that sort of content. On the contrary it has tones of articles related to events reported in mainstream media, but no authors anywhere.

This is something that crossed my mind but it still doesn’t answer the question of who writes these mainstream articles. I also thought it could be something like a personal blog, but the number of daily published articles is too great to support this thought.
And the OP doesn’t seem to care to engage in replying to my questions so far.

maybe just a re-write news site run by people without much experience

I think if it was several people at the beginning of their writing career on mainstream topics, they would gladly include their names.

OP is quite likely trying to promote it. Hopefully they come and engage here.

I am honestly looking forward to their repply
