Well, no shit. Who actually expected the Israelis to stop killing people?

Western media dead silent.

Here is the original Drop Site News article. There’s no reason to circumvent the actual source.

Johnstone’s article draws from several sources, so there is not a singular source being “circumvented.”

It's true she draws from other sources, but it's an aggregation vs. Drop Site's original reporting. I always prefer the original reporting over an extra layer of remixing, but I probably overreacted.

Yeah. Israel got what it wanted by having it in the news and now they are getting what they want by having it hidden.
