A New York Times caption declares, “Israel Launches Major Attack Against a Senior Hamas Commander,” which has quite a glorifying tone, considering the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) brutal actions in Gaza, which are in breech of the International Humanitarian Law.

In this article by CNN, evidence has been submitted about the inferior conduct of the IOF, which makes one wonder about their justification to exist, let alone considering their never-ending claim of “self-defence”.

Former commanders of the Netzah Yehuda battalion, an Israeli military unit that has been accused by the United States of gross human rights violations against Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank prior to October 7, have been promoted to senior positions in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and are now active in training Israeli ground troops as well as running operations in Gaza, a CNN investigation has found.

The US held off sanctioning this Israeli army unit despite evidence of abuses. Now its forces are shaping the fight in Gaza.

In the light of the Netanyahu government’s continuous blockade of the Western media access into Gaza and the banishing of Al Jazeera from the 1948 occupied Palestinian territory and the mere fact that an ICC warrant against this war criminal is in the making, it remains to question, why does the corporate mainstream media still value his word?
