All western news is doing some strong work completely ignoring coverage of this narrative. Absolute fucking disgrace and travesty.

There are not 100 million dentists offices. No way that is their readership.

They’re referring to monthly unique visitors on the Newsweek website. Print circulation was around 100k in 2015. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsweek)

For comparison (I make no claims it’s a good one), the New York Times web site has around 240 million monthly unique visitors. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times)

Everything I’m reading is covering the Israeli war crimes and their condemnation from western countries. And it’s mostly reporting from the west.

Maybe don’t read for-profit journalism?

Oh, you mean the slap-on-the-wrist heckling some liberals in the west are emanating? The Israelis must be shaking in their boots.

It’s not a condemnation at all. Look at the wording, it’s phrased like whatever happens to the Palestinians is a natural disaster. A flooding or an earthquake.

Yes but have you considered that Arabs aren’t white?

Depends on which arbitrary definition of “white” you are using. I see a lot of white supremacists pretending that Israel can’t be white supremacist because either Jewish people “aren’t white” and/or Arab people suddenly “are white” - whatever their pretzel-logic demands in the moment, I guess.

“White” is more of an arbitrary label for “guys like us”. Italians and Irish were not considered white not so long ago.
