I know that, but Haaretz = left is only a trend and not a rule that holds 100% of the time. They do good investigative journalism, but they’re also Israeli and affected by the Israeli political climate, which is like… that. This results in them occasionally parroting unproven Israeli propaganda. Cosmicrookie dismissing the article because they’re Israeli is definitely misguided, but the jury is still out on how widespread the phenomenon they’re reporting on is.
Then why do almost all Western countries consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization?
