2. The Guardian describes the October 7 Hamas butchery as a "surprise operation" in the story.

The war was triggered in October by bloody attacks into southern Israel launched by Hamas. The militant organisation, which has ruled Gaza since 2007, killed 1,200 Israelis, mainly civilians, and abducted another 250 in the surprise operation.


The Guardian describes the genocidal, theocratic, far right terrorist group Hamas as a "militant organization" and a protracted 10 hour spree of torture, rape, necrophilia, and indiscriminate, hands-on butchery as a "surprise operation".

-------------------------------------------------------

Shaban Abdel-Raouf, a Palestinian electrician and father of five from Gaza City, said: “Every day costs us dozens of martyrs. We want a ceasefire now,.”


The Guardian also printed - with no context - Hamas's framing of its Gazan victims as "martyrs".

A genocidal, theocratic, far right, terrorist group - the de facto governing power - is sacrificing its people's lives on a daily basis, and The Guardian (desperate for clicks) amplifies Hamas's talking points and fails to inform the reader that it is Hamas that has rejected ceasefires time and time again since it violated the last one in November.

Caveat lector.
