Every time there’s an article of a report confirming “yes, this looks, smells and feels like a genocide”, there’s always a statement of “nuh uh it’s not” included from the government perpetrating it.
Like if someone is accused of murder or manslaughter, does the news get a statement from the accused and publish them saying “uh, no I didn’t, he probably just tripped and fell” or something?

I mean… Yes? That seems like a very basic fact for them to report.
That is true, but the article gives a very significant chunk for the Israeli government to excuse themselves when typically the statement would be at the end.
What would you expect them to say? Has there ever been a government in history that committed a genocide and admitted to it while they were doing it (without having lost a war to an invading army)?
It don’t expect them to say differently, I expect the press to write the statement at the end very briefly rather than so thoroughly and prominently in the middle.

Actually, yes. It happens quite often that the papers print that someone was arrested or stands trial but claims to be innocent.

Yeah that’s fair. You don’t need to give them a ton of space
