YES, YES, YES. If Israel truly wanted people to distinguish between fact and propaganda from either side, they would have let independent journalists into Gaza a long time ago. The fact they don't speaks volumes. Israel's government is run by war criminals.

Americaās current stance is the US should hurt Brazilās economy and prop up Argentinaās economy. The entire reason is that the US president and his fans like the leader of Argentinaāor a successful version of him they made upāand dislike that Brazil upheld its laws against a coup plotter they like.
