'From the river to the sea': Why these 6 words spark fury and passion over the Israel-Hamas war

[The Magistrate]

71. Not Quite, Sir, But Close

Your analysis omits the essential innocence of persons who condemn Israel, and the malleability of the public mind at the hands of the evil mass media.

What he is saying is first, that she didn't to anything wrong, second, that we only think she did because the media has stirred us up to believe it, and third, that the media has done this because she is the sole Palestinian in Congress. Into the bargain, it's part of the media trying to make Mr. Biden look bad, though whether that is because it amplifies the charge, or because it suggests a rift between Mr. Biden and the 'youth vote', is not clear.

The important thing to remember is that you have not heard what she said and formed your view of it, what you think you think is just what mainstream media convinced you you think.
