Great Satire Writing:
When the story was that this was a lethal attack by the IDF with hundreds of casualties, there was nothing funny about this. Now that most credible sources in the first world agree that the IDF was probably not at fault for this particular atrocity (yeah yeah death to the first world and hail Xi & Putin etc, if you're one of those people just kindly stop reading), now it's suddenly time to turn this into a joke and short-circuit people's critical thinking. "ha ha, 'we didn't do it', sounds like a made up claim that the person who did it would say". What a genius master stroke of insight.
You know what, I now have newfound respect for the people who at least put in the work to argue that the rocket geolocations were fabricated, the Hamas operative convo discussing the malfunctioning rocket was by paid actors, etc etc. At least they are making an argument, which a reader can evaluate and decide whether they believe. This headline is exactly as productive as if they'd written "Hamas reports deadly Israeli airstrike with 3000 victims at the house of You, The Reader". What a disgrace.
