Many of the 90 bodies of Palestinians returned to Gaza by Israeli authorities under the ceasefire deal showed signs of torture and execution, including blindfolds, cuffed hands and bullet wounds in the head, according to doctors’ accounts.

“Almost all of them had been blindfolded, and had been bound up and they had gunshots between the eyes. Almost all of them had been executed,” said Dr Ahmed al-Farra, the head of Nasser hospital’s paediatric department.

I think their audience heavily started turning against them, so they had no choice but to jump ship. They are crying to walk a very fine line between spreading genocide propaganda and having their readers believe that they are a trustworthy newspaper by letting Palestinians speak occasionally.

Noticeably they are taking like two or three days to report old stuff though.

But do not doubt for a second that when it is time to spread new genocide propaganda, the Guardian will join the fray without qualms. They already showed their hand when they spread false propaganda about "having seen footage of rape on October 7." Which turned out to be a complete lie a year after the fact.

the rape thing was the story that opened by eyes to intense level of propaganda that i saw from guardian; new york times; washington post; etc.

i have difficulty reconciling how people regard them as trustworthy while automatically disregarding other sources like al jazeera or telesur as propaganda.
