Why don't you stay on topic and instead retreat to ten different other points no one is discussing or disagreeing with?
Deceptive language is being used by both sides. What is 'from the river to the sea' as an example. It doesn't help the cause if you can't concede the most simple facts (ie yeah this article is using ambiguous language to create an inflammatory headline). There is plenty of factual horrible stuff being perpetuated by the IDF - we don't need to make stuff up.
It's not deceptive in any way. You're trying to assert an insane prescriptive standard for journalists, something which is completely unrealistic. If we actually tried applying this asinine logic of yours to pretty much any other headline, you'd see how ridiculous it is.
And just like the other poster has repeatedly told you, this does conform to the definition of a brand. You just don't feel like accepting it has more definitions than a burning iron, because of course you won't, because then you'd have to accept this insane dehumanisation Israel is doing to Palestinians, something which you're literally incapable of.

No-one is making shit up, but you sure as shit are being apologetic about what Israel is doing. Almost as if you don't accept that Israel is committing crimes on humanity?
Who. In. The fuck. Did any apologia here? What a fucking imbecile thing to write to someone that stated clearly and emphatically that the IDF is committing plenty of heinous acts.
Hoooooly shit.
How insecure do you have to be to just pivot to name calling without engaging with what is being said. Are you a child?
"Heinous acts" is a start. Would you say they constitute genocide and/or other crimes against humanity?
