    The film, directed by Alexis Bloom and produced by Alex Gibney, builds a rigorous and damning case, posing an argument close observers may already be familiar with: Netanyahu is prolonging the devastating war in Gaza – which has amassed more than 40,000 deaths – to avoid possible prison time stemming from corruption charges. A humanitarian crisis flouting international law is all about his self-preservation.

    Boy does that sound familiar

      “If tens of thousands of women and children have to be massacred so I get to stay out of jail, that’s a price I’m willing to pay.”

      Yeah, Bibi’s not the only sociopath that would take that choice.

      MBFC calls both The Guardian and Breitbart “MIXED” in their factual accuracy. For Breitbart? It’s because they’re an alt-right disinformation factory which as a policy denies fundamental and provably true scientific facts like climate change, spreads baseless, trivially disproven conspiratorial nonsense, and intentionally misleads readers left and right. For The Guardian? Well they’ve failed five fact checks in the last five years, and these fact checks are as robust as, umm…

      “Private renting is making millions of people ill.”

      “Private renting is making millions of people ill, but maybe this happens with other housing situations too, we don’t know, so we rate this as false.”

      MBFC is a joke, and this bot is a pathetic sham.

        From memory if you dig further most of those five have been retracted or corrected by The Guardian too. Apparently this does not impact the factuality rating in this case although I have seen MBFC make special note of corrections issued when it comes to other publications.
