"Unspeakable": Doctors Back from Gaza Say Death Toll "Much Higher," Push Harris, Biden for Ceasefire

[Beastly Boy]

7. A very loaded set of criteria.

You "don't know what percentage of all Israelis are represented in those protests", but you are positive that a mention of a large percentage of the Israeli people who are anti-war is untrue. In fact, you presume, admittedly out of ignorance on the subject, that "If it were not for the hostages, there would be no protest, or very little."

You expect Israelis to want cease fire because they "oppose the killing of civilians, the starvation of kids, or the many war crimes committed by Israel" only, while denigrating any sentiment by Israelis who want a cease fire because they want the hostages returned.

Two textbook examples of how framing is to be used in the service of prejudice.

And while I admit that I am no expert on international law, I doubt very much that anyone buying into it or not creates any sense of obligation to change it.
