"At press time, the Israeli Defense Forces Twitter account underscored the massive surge of contempt they were contending with by posting a video that featured the shocking savagery of a Palestinian corpse that refused to condemn Hamas even when kicked. "
At press time, Danforth expressed confidence that a diplomatic resolution could be reached that would permit Gaza’s collapsed healthcare system to kill the Palestinians instead of war.
[…] some believe it is the responsibility of a newspaper of record like The Onion to delve fully into the nuances of a complex and multifaceted conflict that stretches back not just decades but centuries. These people are wrong.
“What of the tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians killed before this attack?” some may ask. Our response is simply that we aren’t going to engage with that because it would be too hard. We also won’t be addressing Palestinians living in refugee camps without access to clean water, electricity, or housing. Others may ask, “Isn’t it your responsibility to provide context, particularly on thorny issues such as this one?” To that, we merely say: No, shut up. You’re being annoying.
The prior year I was living at 225 Rector Place, and on the day I was working at the top of One Canada Square, which was then Europe's tallest office building. It was a nervous day.
It can be easy to forget that while the onion is often one of the funniest things out there, it remains and always has been a satirical newspaper first. And sometimes satire needs to bite more than amuse in order to be truly effective.
Oh god, The Onion is all in this time.

😐🤣
Damn, they are on point!
Lordy, they aren't pulling punches, are they?
I love it
Here lies the root of the issue, we've simply reached the logical conclusion of a greed based economic system.
LMFAO
I love this article lmao
Amazing.
The whole thing is great.
The Onion's 9/11 coverage was incredible to behold. "Hijackers surprised to find themselves in Hell" was just brilliant.
I was living in lower Manhattan when that happened. Seeing that onion issue was the first time I laughed after the fact

Not untrue.
The onion never misses
Holy shit the Onion had a massacre
Ted Kaczynsky's (Unabomber's) signature among the editorial staff is a nice touch.
This hits too close to home to be funny

I'm sure Gazans would agree if they weren't buried under all that rubble
Home? What home?
Well, they could at least try to rofl.
I'm pretty sure the Onion's editorial board doesn't live in Gaza.
Ugh, too wordy for me.
Just show me a list of pictures of dead kids and bombed cities so I can do my virtual rubbernecking without having to switch my brain on.
Heads on, or off?
Ooh, I don't mind as long as I can pretend that two million people support it so I'll feel less bad when they're bombed.
Unexpected Lupe but I'm here for it.
