There is so much about the reporting on this story that is driving me bananas.
If we take the IDF narrative at face value, they're asserting that they caught half a dozen militants who were unarmed and embedded with 9 medics. They then ambushed and detained all the unarmed personnel. They identified 6 as captured prisoners of war and 9 as non combatants and summarily executed all of them and defiled their bodies.
And the coverage is like... 'Israel was caught lying about how many medics they executed. Chat are we cooked 🤪'
The framing of the coverage should be that as Israel's genocide in Gaza moves into a new era in which the US president is no longer subtle in their embrace of extermination of innocent civilians, the army begins to experiment with open defiance of internationally recognized laws against war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity.
That's the story. This is like Elon's sieg heil. The mainstream news is trained to find bullet casings and hold the poor accountable. But they have no idea how to react when the most powerful people in the world start spree-shooting in Times Square cackling.

After the "systematic rape" story that got fact check by "Israeli news" NYT made it clear their position is with genocide. They are the same as all privately owned or state owned news.
It's amazing how a black and white case of war crime at least, genocide, is how these news agency get exposed.
