’Genocide’ - Quotation marks give the so-called deaths of 30,000 people the sarcastic skepticism they deserve.

Quote from article

“When it comes to the war in Gaza, news outlets in the United States largely prefer to keep descriptions vague in order to appear impartial. The following are several words besides “genocide” the media uses to describe genocide.”
