    For context he also met with IDF soldiers and spent the majority of his coverage in Israel

      For context, all of this was over eight years ago. It was part of a series of videos attempting to put human faces of political issues. He also visited Haiti.

      If we want his opinion on the genocide of the Palestinian people, we should really try to find recent interviews or podcasts.

        If he was just doing journalism then you have nothing to worry about. The image speaks for itself.

            Yeah, Lemmy is sadly still an American/Western forum of discussion. Defending Israel has always been the priority for westerners. History will remember them.

              Yup! Everybody here just wants to blindly defend israel and their genocide! Lemmy’s #1 priority is israel. In fact, the legal name of the website is actually “IsraeLemmy” but they just shortened it to trick Marxists.

          It’s about building a rapport. Journalists make friends with people on the ground all the time to try and gain an authentic perspective.
