Our Russian-speaking Israeli leftists have unexpectedly found a main enemy. No, not Hamas, not the terrorists holding our citizens hostage. Their main enemy—you won't believe it—is the researchers who uncover and debunk the fakes of Western media and "independent" organizations about "famine and genocide in Gaza."
"What irritates me most isn't the Bibiists and fascists. Their intellect and moral character are perfectly clear.
I'm much more irritated by the people who expose the 'fakes' and 'bias' of the Western media."
In other words, instead of being angry at those who spread lies, they furiously shame those who expose them.
"These fighters against 'fake news against Israel' use supposedly scientific tools and methods to convey one idea: that Western media, international organizations, humanitarian foundations, and academia are biased and inaccurately covering the war in Gaza."
Oh, the horror! Someone dared to say the media is lying! What a disaster for the "liberal" faith in the infallible CNN and BBC.
What irony: yesterday these same characters were screaming about "fake news" and "fact-checking." Today, it suddenly turns out that exposing their beloved "liberal press" is a crime worse than fascism.
"What is this idea they're actually promoting? It's a very simple and incredibly harmful idea: 'Don't believe those who say we're wrong. They're all biased, they're all against us, they're all lying because they're anti-Semites.'"
In fact, it's not the "methodology" or the "tone" that infuriates them; it's the very fact that someone is disrupting their comfortable worldview. They're afraid to admit: yes, the media can lie. Yes, humanitarian foundations can work in cahoots with terrorists. Yes, the "academy" can be bought by ideology.

You forgot the most important thing here: they brand their liberal former friends, who have suddenly woken up, as "harmful elements."
