“What of the tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians killed before this attack?” some may ask. Our response is simply that we aren’t going to engage with that because it would be too hard. We also won’t be addressing Palestinians living in refugee camps without access to clean water, electricity, or housing. Others may ask, “Isn’t it your responsibility to provide context, particularly on thorny issues such as this one?” To that, we merely say: No, shut up. You’re being annoying.

Damn these guys are good. Managing to satirize the media, take a hands-off approach, and still raise valid points all in a couple paragraphs.

Perhaps some evidence there still is some life in the onion, even if its been sitting in the pantry a little too long and starting to look a little sketchy.

I think it’s because the cupboard the onion lives in is currently on fire

Well yeah, they asked the IDF to airstrike their offices in case they have Hamas breeding more terrorists in there.

The Onion has been killing it recently. They must have gotten new writers cuz they seemed to fall away for awhile. They’re definitely back on top now though.

Trump admin was a little too insane to satirize effectively, I think. They try to stay playful while biting, with only the occasional blunt headline.

Basically, Trump only deserved single-entendre, and that’s not really what they do.
