This restoration of language is crucial. In fact I can see value for a compilation of such restorations of meaning. No doubt the BBC's output would figure prominently. The Guardian also... in fact their report, some time ago now, on the IDF's use of AI, minimized and deflected from the scale and savage intent to terrorize which the true investigation by +972mag article was clear about.

"Note: Some details of this story originated from the BBC. All minimising language has been removed to restore the full gravity of the atrocity. The original framingβ€”steeped in passive voice, institutional deflection, and euphemismβ€”has been replaced with direct, unambiguous statements of fact. The BBC routinely uses nouns in place of active verbs, stripping agency from the killers when it comes to Israel. People are not β€œdead” or β€œlost”; they are killed. Replace the noun with a verb, and the perpetrator appears. Only then can we grasp the true scale of the crime."

The BBC is guilty of all the things you say. Timid. Fearful. Supporting the Zionists by default. Could do so much more and will be found wanting by history. But that goes for main-stream media here in NZ too. Complicit by omission.

Trump and Biden are directly responsible for the ceaseless carnage in Gaza. They could have settled this conflict years ago. Without U.S. support, Israel would not have gone this far after the Hamas attack. Instead Biden and Trump approved billions in military equipment and advanced intelligence to ensure continued destruction of Palestinian schools, hospitals and apartments. Even journalists and aid workers have been targeted. The slaughter has been horrific. We see innocent victims burned to death in tents. Instead of forcing a ceasefire agreement, Biden and Trump have empowered Israel to continue a monstrous war. Trump even bragged about supplying 2,000 pound bombs. He posted grotesque videos of himself and Netanyahu basking on the beach in an ethnically cleansed Gaza, an obscene imaginary paradise. This appalling image aside, Americans want this conflict to stop. Only Trump can demand and achieve a long overdue resolution to this awful situation.

This is heartbreaking. We need new words for this horror; the ones we have are too hollow in the face of such grief. Damn zionism and may zionists burn in hell, after a long and very painful disease.

The Israelis, and all who support them, are the most despicable beings on Earth. May they receive what they give a thousand times over.

Another desperately sad story. It’s too much for anyone to bear now and it has to stop. I just cannot fathom how Israel has been allowed to go this far. It’s beyond belief.

It wasn’t a rocket. The Jews just made that up. Those bottle rockets never kill more than 2-3 people at once. It wouldn’t even kill 10 people.

I saw photos afterward. I saw the presser afterwards with the courtyard piled high with hundreds of bodies. 500 people were killed by that 2000 pound bomb dropped on a hospital parking lot.

It’s been proven 100 different ways that that was a bomb. We can even see the jet above as it drops the bomb. You can hear the bomb as it’s coming in. The nature of the explosion had to be a huge bomb. Also the first report from Israel said they bombed the area.

We are talking about the most dishonest race on Earth, the sewer of humanity.
