There is still no definite answer as to what caused the tragedy at Majdal Shams. Israeli propaganda and the supine western press right away put the blame on Hizbollah and spun it as an attack on Israeli soil with Israeli victims. Facts are most of the Druze in the town have refused Israeli citizenship and see themselves as Syrians. Furthermore the Israeli occupation and settlements in the Golan Heights are illegal under international law. When Netanyahu tried to visit the village for propaganda purposes he was told to get lost. Regarding the actual source of the missile, a reporter for Middle Eastern Eye claims villagers said it was from the Iron Dome and one Israeli paramedic told her the same but he couldn’t make it public because he would be liable to be arrested. Lebanese and Syrian Druze are Hizbollah allies and it doesn’t make sense to deliberately attack the village. Regarding a possible mis-fire, Hizbollah has acknowledged and apologized for these in the past, and in this case has vehemently denied it was their weapon. My sense is that it was a mis-fire by somebody and there really needs to be a investigation by a reputable international body.
I am going with the iron dome defense missile, somehow. Now the reason I state that and this is only my view, is that there are not only similarities between the Ukraine conflict and "the ME" conflict, if you watch close enough, they actually mirror each other - children in both - slightly different reasons.... and on and on and on. It is like they are playing the same chapter of the playbook for both conflicts. Remember - my view only.
PS It gives the Mainstream media the emotional BS for the ignorant masses.
Listen to Dr Feroze Sidhwa Gaza hospital testimonials on Ralph Nader Radio hr Substack or YT Dr Sidhwa & a colleague have written a letter "testimony!" have sent it to countless media's NOT one Fox news, ABC, BBC, NY Times, Washington Post, have had the compassion to print it for their wide audiences. Ralph has all the info you'll need to Download that letter, copy it, send certified mail to AIPAC president Lillian Pinkus, Biden & Harris, Trump & Vance.
The Australian is Murdoch's newspaper (I'm fairly sure) and the Diabolical Rupert is a Zionist, or certainly a friend and instrument of power and enemy of the victims of power, the Palestinians being perhaps the primary example. So she may not be quite as ignorant as she seems - merely another hack following the Dirty Digger's orders.
I have recently read a very good article around the topic of stupidity and intelligence. The author had a new take on it that i have not thought about, but its worrying to put it in this context stupidity seems to outdo intelligence in many fields but in particularly journalism (i was thinking) , because stupidity will not question while intelligence will try to cover all bases investigate research to get the most accurate result. Stupidity will get the job because its’s easier to manage someone who does jot question.
The worst part is all that research and investigation which enhances intelligence and makes you a subject matter expert can be a disadvantage in your everyday life because a normal conversation with those who have no idea about that subject, you will find yourself disagreeing with and move further away from each other.
To be honest I am not sure if it is stupidity or ignorance or just the fact that you find yourself making additional money you have not been able to make with any honest working job it is possibly the combination of those and other factors. While in the past i have admired some investigative journalists writing for reputable newspapers currently the bar is very low, a secretary that can type whatever has been dictate to them would be the best way to describe mainstream journalism.
You’re right on all fronts brother but she is ignorant. you can’t produce that rant of narrative with a sound moral conscience

John was right!

The late John Pilger did once describe Australian political journalism as like “a mortuary”.
Tonginini sounds like a typical example of a "bought and paid for" journalist. Her ignorance is, I would imagine, wilful.

Correct - one of Rupert’s - in fact the leading Murdoch ‘Masthead’ in Australia. I never read it.
Gemma Tognini seems more appropriately classified as a « right-wing commentator « than as a « journalist. » She is the distaff Brett Stephens.
Young males have been apparently routinely tortured and murdered in torture camps on large scale.
There are more and more witnesses about this horror.
