Times of Israel is a pretty chill newspaper, unlike for ex Jerusalem Post.
I am pretty sure they meant exactly what the OP is saying, but without being snarky
The Times of Israel omits the suffering of Palestinians even though they are practically neighbors. Personally, I consider it a "state tabloid" with very little journalism of any kind.
They meant that they are worried about Israelis getting sick, totally ignoring they are the cause for the disease
Blind as always, victim mentality to the bone.
They reported many times about settlers violence in West Bank and also wrote an article about a old rabbi who helps Palestinians to protect themselves from violent settlers
That does count as a win for them (the newspaper)
Edit : i think Haaretz is the most left wing newspaper there, but many articles are behind paywall
It's alright sometimes but the language they use is not neutral. They are very pro israel. Language they use for example is like
"Hamas brutal indiscriminate barbaric terrorist attack killed civilians and IDF soldiers in a bunker (repeat the word terrorist every 10 words)
while the IDF "Neutralized 80 terrorist targets in a confirmed terrorists base beneath the hospital)
You can take their anti israel news at face value but their pro israel news is always very shoddy and obviously biased.
Even this headline is pretty fucked up to read. Might as well call the Palestinians zombies and bemoan all those IDF soldiers exposed to the T-Virus thanks to all the bloody backsplatter from shotgunning crowds of them.
Yes, and add to that, has any journalist from ToI tried To verify this or investigated the IDF themselves? Nope. Do correct me if I'm wrong but I see them doing zero self reflection or fact checking.
And for me, that's what makes good journalism.
