"Israel had a right, has a right to defend itself."

Obviously I know the answer, but why is such an easily disproven lie uncritically repeated? Does literally no one in the mainstream media have the guts to call it out?

No. You do not have a right to defend yourself from your own illegal occupation for fucks sake.
