I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that every comment bashing Judaism is a false flag meant to paint pro Palestinians as anti-Semitic. Please stop.
I find that, at least with local Canadian Politics, they're pretty accurate at least. So I'm guessing it would be similar for the U.S, although the number of so-called "media" sources is far larger.
I got blasted in a c/world thread because I used it to show a source that was untrustworthy. And ppl were saying its the factcheckerbias tool is unreliable cuz it rates the NYT as “factual”. I was suprised to get so much pushback.
They rate israeli propaganda outlets as "high credibility" such as the UNwatch that spouts straight israeli propaganda. Their entire front page still "UNRWA = Hamas" which has already been fully debunked
Good question. I've made up my own mind on newspapers biases so I don't use a bias checker anymore.
Every "bias checker" has its own bias. There is no such thing as an objective newspaper. It's best to use sources that don't have a stake in a conflict. But MBFC is ran by liberal Zionists so they certainly aren't a good rating source when it comes to israel-Palestine.
Middle East Eye is UK, based in London. They cover stories mostly pertaining to the Middle East and Africa. Currently Palestine and Sudan are what they cover most.
Because their employees often have connections in the regions they are able to get a more local perspective on the news than most of our mainstream outlets.
The Ezra street parties that cost the city thousands are totally fine. but they freak out over a few tents. The only reason this school is around is that it's a feeder school to a lot of local tech companies that want fresh meat to grind.
It also gets a lot of research money. As a UW grad, I can confirm that the students are the absolute lowest priority though. If you're not in a research-focused post grad program, you're seen as a chore.
yeah that was damaged well before this encampment but ok.
driven up administrative and operational costs for the university and depreciated the university’s property values.
Or "We're the UofW, we've never cared about students or what they believe in...like never. IF they refuse to be fed to the grinder of a US tech company or refuse to be a research zombie then we couldn't give two shits about them. We spend what little we can on facilities here and have done so for....well forever, I mean really have you ever been to Dana Porter Library? and we said the quiet thing out loud with property value cause....yeah. Fuck the students and fuck Waterloo and especially fuck those peasants living in Kitchener...just ew."
A group of about 100 protesters gathered outside the University of Waterloo during a senate meeting Monday demanding the school boycott and divest from all institutions supporting Israel in the midst of the ongoing war.
So it sounds like UW is still supporting groups who are supporting the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Being okay with genocide as long as you have other interests you don't wish to risk by taking a stand against it is kinda basically "complicit", isn't it?
Using the same logic: You pay taxes? Complicit in everything that happens with those. From good to bad. Not stopping cars on the road? Complicit in stealing buses etc. their customers. And of course also complicit in road kills.
