Is this not satire? “I am just here to data harvest!”?
Yesterday, around noon, the students of the universities of Amsterdam started an encampment. Already last night the riot police emptied the encampment and arrested a number of the protestors. https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/05/police-clear-pro-palestine-protestors-from-amsterdam-university/
To be honest I haven’t really followed it, I check from time to time some of Greenwald’s articles and read about the shelter some years back.
Edit: Decided to google a bit, seems like Greenwald posted a video 5 months ago with an update, here if you are interested.
I think he with his late husband started a shelter for rescue dogs in Brazil, which employed homeless people: https://www.thedodo.com/close-to-home/glenn-greenwald-shelter-brazil

It’s because that’s the core of the message the western media is trying to propagate. The point of the original reports of babies, rapes, etc, are not that people will continue to believe them as such, but just that they believe them “in the abstract” (to say “I am not saying that this incidence happened, but something bad must have happened”). The same applies to reports about every official enemy of the US empire (and it’s most common for propaganda against china). These events and these places are not real for most people, so the media promotes fake reports that will later be proven wrong or retracted because what they offer is painting a picture of these events and places. The aim is to create a general feeling to the western audience that bad things happen on both sides.
“Hamas is bad” is the consequence of these stories, and that is the most important goal of the western media. For the western powers it is fine for people in the west to feel sad or bad or empathize with the ills and suffering of Palestinians. The important thing is that they do not support any political vehicle for the actual liberation of Palestinian people: in this case, armed struggle.
