So I sometimes check newsmax for the same reason I used to read Pravda, to see what the party line and official talking points are. And here I see a bit of variance from the all-out unquestioning support that we see over at Fox:

60 Dead in Gaza Protests as Israel Fetes US Embassy Move

In a jarring contrast, Israeli forces shot and killed at least 60 Palestinians and wounded more than 1,200 during mass protests Monday along the Gaza border, while just a few miles away Israel and the U.S. held a festive inauguration ceremony for the new American Embassy in contested Jerusalem.

It was by far the deadliest day of cross-border violence since a devastating 2014 war between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers, and further dimmed the already bleak prospects for President Donald Trump’s hoped-for peace plan.

By RW standards, this is downright critical.
