Not the Onion: CNN highlights ‘suffering’ of Israeli army bulldozer driver who ran over so many people in Gaza it made him turn vegetarian

An Israeli soldier who likely committed atrocities in Gaza was so traumatised by his actions against Palestinians that he can no longer eat meat

Such a great example of where our media is at today – appalling, disgraceful in every way – Mark

An Israeli soldier who likely committed atrocities in Gaza was so traumatised by his actions against Palestinians that he can no longer eat meat, CNN has reported.

In an interview with CNN, Guy Zaken, a military bulldozer operator, admitted to running over the bodies of Palestinians both dead and alive, causing him PTSD and bloody flashbacks.

However, the CNN report, which chose to highlight the ‘suffering’ of Israeli potential war criminals rather than victims, and failed to challenge the soldiers’ accounts of only killing ‘terrorists’, drew immediate outrage among media watchers who have long accused Western media of dehumanising Palestinians and only foregrounding the experiences of Israelis, including those who are likely committing mass murder.

Satirical newspaper The Onion even responded by re-sharing its 2018 article titled “IDF Soldier Recounts Harrowing, Heroic War Story Of Killing 8-Month-Old Child”
