allegedly sky is blue
Emma Stone based AF
“war crimes in Gaza”
I absolutely hate how this is framed. It’s not a war, it’s genocide. There’s an armed resistance against the genocide and the aggressor state, the Zionist entity, targets everyone regardless of how armed they are. It’s crimes against humanity.
War crime is alleged but the war is not, apparently.
Also that newspaper should be saying Palestine and then specifying Gaza because every second the Zionist entity exists in Palestine it is a crime against humanity
I was watching some conservative news a few days back and it was so funny how many times the said “alleged” or “allegedly” when talking about abuse by Israel on people a part of the freedom flotilla. While simultaneously showing videos of them getting beaten by Israeli officers.
That picture looks like someone in an Emma Stone costume. Why are all the celebrities looking like uncanny valley versions of themselves lately? Is this just a sign I’m getting old, or is it some stupid AI filtering that is fucking up the pictures?
Ai filtering on everything…
It’s not the job of journalists to formulate claims, only to attribute them. Yes it sounds funny sometimes but that doesn’t mean that isn’t actually fucking important.
Is it a claim if it’s true? It’s crazy how you can defend that.
Maybe they should say she allegedly refused to work with them because of alleged war crimes? Would that work better for you?
I suppose it better be “Emma stone allegedly refused to work with alleged Israeli bla bla bla cuz of alleged genocidal alleged dickbaggery”
Considering said “journalists” don’t apply that rule consistently we can safely assume they’re not the gatekeepers of power, but rather its stenographers.
The hesitation to copy-paste claims goes right out of the window if the story involves a country or organization that contradicts the interests of empire.
I realise the media really doesn’t help, and some of it is downright complicit/corrupt… But every time I see a post complaining about them using the word “alleged” I feel like I have to remind people that saying a crime definitely occurred, when it’s not judged as such in a legal setting, is going to get your ass heavily sued or facing your own legal proceedings.
It’s not always complicitness and "both sides"ing things, it’s just covering their ass legally.
It has been already ruled by the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court plus documented from dozens of organizations.
Meanwhile the media only needs any declaration from Israel to skip the allegedly when it’s on the other side.
For some reason, it’s not “alleged” when it’s the Palestinians though
It’s not even alleged when the Palestinians didn’t do it. TheGuardian will happily claimed to have verified video footage of Hamas rapes which didn’t exist afterwards.
We’ve got every major NGO in the world saying Israel is committing genocide and the ICJ ruling that Israel is committing war crimes and needs to stop doing it in preliminary rulings. This nonsense might have worked in 2023.
Could they not put quotes around it, and remove “alleged”, and say it’s the intention / words of Emma Stone?
You don’t even have to bring legal consequences into it. “Allegedly” means, “this is a claim that the referenced party is directly making,” and that is itself meaningful a fact, aside from whatever the content of the claim is.
