Once again US media is casually reporting the Pentagon’s use of human shields. Here the NYT details how US troops are hiding in civilian “office spaces” and “hotels” because they don’t want to be “vulnerable” or too close to “the current front lines”.
Note Tapper’s latched on “dual use” cliche. It’s all dual use. All of these standards would apply to US civilians, universities and infrastructure. Attacks on civilians only becomes “dual use” when Israel/US do it, Tapper is such an unmitigated racist he simply can’t help himself

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on. https://www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-media-buries-story-of-us
need a profile on the guy at NYT whose job it is to come up with words other than "invaded" for when Israel invades Lebanon.
