That conclusion of yours does not follow for me. There’s nothing anyone could say here who also agrees with the Max Blumenthals, Aaron Mates, Glen Greenwalds, Medea Benjamins, or Norman Finkelsteins of the world, that you would not tear down. Being a contrarian is just in your bones, I guess, even in the face of tens of thousands of child deaths.

It's not my job is not to fly anyone's flag or blow smoke up my readers' asses. You can call that "being a contrarian" if you want, or wave a bunch of dead kids at me, but I won't lie or twist the facts in support of a cause, any cause. There is plenty of that out there for folks who are into that kind of thing.

No one is requiring you “lie” or “twist the facts” so stop deflecting. Aaron’s reporting, as all the other great journalists I mentioned; they are reporting truthfully. It’s not a “cause” to want nations to stop killing innocents en masse. It’s called being a decent human being. Now get some rest! Good night.

Thank. you for your level-headed observation and commentary. it seems sorely needed. And yes, I am grateful to all the highly respected and valued journalists you mentioned and there are many others who have a clear understanding on what is going on. This is not the place for clarity, and we need at least that, in these horrendous times in which children are slaughtered and severely injured. I pray for them especially. Be well

RE: Max Blumenthals, Aaron Mates, Glen Greenwalds, Medea Benjamins, or Norman Finkelsteins of the world...

Are these the good guys? Just checking, 'cause they either all fucked up big time as they all got Covid absolutely wrong (siding with real fascists, globalist bio-fascists that is), or they are just another cohort of what amounts to limited hangout groupies. Take your pick.
