Yesterday Israel used a bomb for a gender reveal. They don't care if they look bad.

Touché

I'm not defending Israel or the folk who did that, just saying that some idiot in southern California did that in the last decade too. Started a big fire. I recall we mocked them in public discourse because we had little other way of venting our frustration that a public employee would burn down an appreciable portion of the state to announce what gender they think their child has.

No, they made jokes about how it looked like a gender reveal.

Fucking Al Jazeera.

This isn't the comeback you think it is.

It's not a comeback, it's setting the record straight. Repeating false accusations doesn't help anyone.

They changed the headline on their news story from one to the other.

They changed the headline to "jokes about" because you can't prove initial intent. It hardly changes anything.

Again, this isn't the comeback you think it is. Stop dumping for genocidal maniacs.

Blowing up a building for fun and making slightly off colour jokes aren't even close to the same thing.

There's enough accurate information to make Israel look bad, stop making shit up.
