I can't believe that neither presidential candidate thought they could support ending Israeli attacks on Gaza's civilians, or ending the sale of US weapons to Israel.

Once one sees this pattern it’s very hard to unsee. Much like how web pages are rewritten for google search.

While it’s bad there are crimes being committed in Gaza, the coverup is a first rate teaching opportunity because there are so many public comparisons which are well documented. Many other issues that are given this treatment in mainstream media are harder to pin down, for people outside the loop on a particular issue
