Not that I in any way support Israel’s campaign of violence, but I’m not sure these kinds of posts from and questionable news sources are doing anyone any favors. For those of us who already oppose the Israeli campaign, there’s nothing new here. For those who do, these kinds of sensationalist posts just push them farther back into their views.

The best case scenario is to open peoples’ eyes to the harm Israel is doing and convince them to change their opinion, which a more neutral has a better chance of doing.

Is it any less reliable than other state-affiliated news agency? Maybe. Depends on your perspective.

What else do you call the bombing of civilians.

When a non-state actor does it, it is terrorism. When a state actor does it, it is called war crimes.

While a funny quip, states are capable of terrorism. See Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Tokyo, Dresden, the blitz. Ya know I was hoping I would off the top of my head remember more than just WW2 examples, but here we are. I mean, besides Israel at the moment but that's the topic so doesn't really fit to the list.

Less of a quip, more of a UN definition.

Simplistic rhetoric and superficial understanding.
