Politicians in Germany and elsewhere were outraged by Ben Gvir demanding the killing of 30-40 people per day in Gaza. But Israel actually really killing Palestinians in Gaza on a daily basis (even if not on that scale) doesn't cause any outrage whatsoever www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260818-isr...

To be blunt: this language is not acceptable to be used about human beings, and the fact that the Tagesschau, Germany's main TV news outlet, sees fit to do so on their YouTube channel tells you basically everything you need to know about mainstream media in Germany @tagesschau.bsky.social

These coordinated smear campaigns (in the following thread by @tilojung.bsky.social ), including lies and misquotes, only show that the argument itself is lost. That's not going to save a single Palestinian life, but it's worth noting nonetheless.
