@George-K said in More strange and/or foul reactions:
Yes, the morality of the Dresden bombing has been questioned, but only in hindsight.
Yet the Beeb never asked that question at the time. And that's my point. I don't think your explanation that time/conflict differences gives a pass. Either it's moral or it's not, and the BBC questioned the morality of the Israelis, but not of its own government.
The clip we were referring to was CNN rather than the BBC, but ok.
However, it's really not up to the BBC or any news organization to decide what is moral or not. It is however their responsibility to ask questions of our governments. Just declaring a consensus isn't particularly democratic.
And in more recent conflicts than WW2 the BBC have asked questions of their own government. The modern BBC is considerably more likely to ask difficult questions than it was in the 1940's.
And speaking of questions, both American news organizations and American citizens were happy to ask questions and in some cases express opinions regarding the British conduct during the Northern Ireland conflict. How is that different from this situation, other than in scale, and admittedly the level of horror involved?

Is it even real?

Apparently it’s just a misunderstanding. They seem to think Hamas is on the plane.
Some of the signs held by demonstrators read “Child killers have no place in Dagestan”

In 3 ½ weeks we went from "You can't have hateful speech" to "Kill the Jews."
ETA:
"Remember 2016-2020 when leftists claimed Nazis were everywhere, under every rock, it was just a matter of time til they were all revealed?
After the 10/7 attacks in Israel, it turns out they were right."
