In moments of turmoil such as this, 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.

There’s the thesis. Pretty plainly stating, to translate the satire, that news should be taking a nuanced approach which recognizes no easy answers.

It’s not saying Israel is wrong alone, it’s saying that’s just the easy hand wave call for violence that is mainstream.

Notably it’s also not saying Palestinians and more pressingly hamas are right.

So no, the onion article is not doing what I think is wrong.
