More Anti-Israel Propaganda from WaPo

However, when the cause is promoting anti-Israeli narratives, the Post is happy to add a third category to its reporting: bad things that Israel might be doing now. Hence, this report called “The punishing military doctrine that Israel may be following in Gaza.” (Emphasis added)

The doctrine the Post claims Israel “may be following” is called the “Dahiya Doctrine.” According to the Post, it holds that when Israel responds to attacks, its primary goal should be to inflict lasting damage, no matter what the cost in civilian lives, on the city or village from which the attack came. Halting or reducing the enemy’s capacity to launch more attacks should only be a secondary goal. In other words, the priority is punishment, not crippling the enemy.

It’s obvious, however, that Israel isn’t following the so-called Dahiya Doctrine in Gaza. Otherwise, Israel would not have dropped leaflets imploring residents of Northern Gaza to head south. It would have reduced to rubble the hospitals Hamas uses for military purposes and/or builds tunnels under. It would not be pausing its attacks every day to allow residents to flee.
