President Joe Biden ‘appalled’ by violence during pro-Palestinian protest at Los Angeles synagogue
President Joe Biden has denounced violence that flared when opponents of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza staged a protest at a Los Angeles synagogue during the weekend.
You're viewing a single thread.
Wild that the Times of Israel, reporting second-hand, has a more factual accounting of the event.
Violent clashes broke out Sunday between pro- and anti-Israel demonstrators in Los Angeles after the latter held a protest outside the Adas Torah synagogue, where an Israeli real estate fair was being held.
The first line establishes the relevant information, not some vague idea that there were protesters just stopping Jews from worshipping. The only context missing is that the real estate fair probably isn't for apartments in Tel Aviv. It's probably for West Bank settlements, which are heavily populated by Americans.
CNN surprisingly actually had a more detailed accounting, albeit surrounded by the dominant anti-Palestinian narrative.
Synagogue hosted Israel real estate event
The protest stemmed from an Israel real estate event on Sunday at the Adas Torah synagogue, according to the synagogue’s security director and social media posts from organizers.
The event at the synagogue was organized by My Israel Home, a firm that markets real estate in Israel and West Bank settlements and was advertising on social media. CNN has reached out to My Israel Home for comment.
In one video, two men appear to be wrestling on the ground as others kick at them. Later, one of the men – holding an Israeli flag – appears to have a bloodied face and mouth.
Additional video showed an egg thrown at a pro-Palestinian activist and a man wearing a keffiyeh, a traditional Palestinian scarf, chased and punched on the ground by a man wearing a Jewish yarmulke or kippah.
During many of the altercations, bystanders worked to pull and hold people apart.
CNN and fucking USA Today have been doing quite a bit of actual complete and honest reporting recently.
I have no idea where it came from, but I’ll take it
They even quoted a protester, which shouldn't be an unusual event when covering protests, but here were are.
That’s what I mean. It’s like they are trying to get at an honest presentation of the facts of the story.
It’s fuckin weird from ANY corporate US news outlet but from those two it’s like bizarro world
They’re trying to salve their conscience for their role in the ongoing disaster that is the demented orange rapist. Maybe.
I guess they are likely getting feedback that boomers and normies aint accepting the propaganda, so they needed to improve it... truth does have some power still.
But… why? I am honestly baffled as to the business reasons behind the decision. I don’t think people are sick of propaganda. People love propaganda.
But it’s hard for me to say you are wrong, also, simply because like I say I have no idea what the thinking behind it is.
My only guess would be people can get better propaganda elsewhere and the CNN propaganda was supposed to fly under the radar as coming from a "real" news station. CNN has had various stories about right-biased reporting which actually damages their brand, unlike Fox where the target audience is all in.
People love propaganda ONLY WHEN IT CONFIRMS THEIR BIAS tho
Everyday when I wash the dishes I ask my google home to give me the news, it goes CBC to CNN to PBS and those very mainstream sources have been pretty decent in communicating how high the death toll for Palestinians have been and how dire the situation there is.
Despite being in Israel and obviously suffering from that inherent bias, the Times of Israel actually does some pretty solid reporting overall.
