    Most of the stories that I have seen have said both sides deny responsibility or something to that effect. I haven't really seen leftist media insisting that it was definitely IDF.

    Props to Biden and the right move by Israel who through Diplomacy, has agreed to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.

    This - at least I know that to be the case for those in our generation. I have had several people tell me that the younger generation is somewhat indifferent to it.

    Either way, the vast majority of Germans do not have any positive feelings about WWII. Not only do they have the history of the Holocaust, but people outside of Western Europe forget that Germans suffered an incredible amount in WWII, their nation was largely leveled, there were many German civilians killed, many orphans and hunger.

    The period between like 1900 and 2000 is not one that Germany is proud of or nostalgic for. There are Nazi's in Germany, but there are far more Nazi's in other parts of Europe.

    Yes - Jews are viewed as sub-human in parts of the Middle East. I am not confident enough to comment on the degree of anti-semitism towards Jews in Europe at this point. I do not find there to be as much anti-semitism in the USA when compared to how women or other minority groups are treated in the USA.

    People don't leave their attitudes outside the border when they immigrate into a new country. Europe mass-imported Muslim Jew hate. Antisemitic attacks are on a sharp rise in Germany, and almost all the perpetrators are Muslims (but the leftists, when in government, will have it in their statistics as a "right-wing" attack).

    It wasn't a serious comment.

    I didn't. It isn't that I don't believe you, but I just hadn't seen it. At least they did change it when they got new information. It doesn't seem like a huge issue, unless a media outlet refuse to change it.

    It is a huge issue. Huge outrage in the Arab/Muslim world.

    The headline was changed. There are better ways to assuage the outrage than instantaneous accurate headlines. Yes, media outlets should be careful. It could be a problem. But it isn't the worst nor necessarily intentional. Nobody needs to be a drama queen over the issue.

    it is 100% intentional, which makes it the worst.

    Evidence of 100% intentionally misleading?

    You beleive that babbling nonsense of a Xweet makes any kind of a point to anyone other than a completely deluded hack?

    Seriously?

    What do you think that Xweet actually proves?

    Headlines were that each side were blaming the other - which was true. You need to stop making stuff up.
