They are trying so hard to hide the reality of Ukraine's situation that the article makes absolutely no sense. The map at the top of the article has no relation to what the headline says, and the article itself is just a list of events with no actual analysis.

Also, were apparently supposed to care that Putin targeted a maternity ward and civilian targets, whilst at the same time not care that Israel has annihilated hospitals and civilian targets in Gaza.

This is unironically the doublespeak of 1984.

Okay, I care about both. Now what?

What more am I going to say other than both things are bad? I'm not even saying that there should be equal time given to both issues, since Ukraine is being given billions of dollars to fight back and Palestine isn't.

I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of Western media reporting and their attempts to manipulate public opinion to condemn these actions in one conflict (Ukraine-Russia), but to ignore or even support them in another (Palestine-Israel).

I'm not saying that I care about one and not the other, but that the media (and our governments) want us to.
