So little, so late. And no doubt just another way to delay taking any real action. That’s all they’ve done so far - delay and obfuscate.

They just triggered it! Wow, the guardian with rampant antisemitism there, denying that the Israeli government has any ability to make decisions for themselves.

Are you suggesting the current military offensive is not in response to the attack in October last year?
It sounds like you are taking an unnecessarily narrow definition of “trigger,” and painting that as some sort of bad faith “rampant antisemitism.”

Removing the passive voice would be something like “When Israel invaded Gaza in response to Hamas attacks” or “When the Israeli government launched a counterattack in response to Hamas led attacks” or so on.
It’s the classic “Man shot when running from police” stuff, where one actor or actors demphasised or erased in order to implicitly bias readership. It is especially notable when the most recent or destructive actions are passive voiced away.
