      Time person of the year isn’t an endorsement, it’s an acknowledgement of how influential someone has been in the last year.

          Gaza isn’t the world. And please don’t think I mean anything more than the literal meaning of the words. I’m 100% on the side of the Palestinian people and against Israel and everything they’ve done in relation to this. Just pointing out that your comment doesn’t really make sense. He could have done nothing to the US and still have been a valid choice for the above mentioned definition of time’s person of the year.

            While I understand that Gaza should not be a single-issue topic, the choice of headlines position this Time article very much around the Israel/Palestine topic.

          He put the bare minimum of pressure on Netanyahu. The cease fire deals have been sabotaged by Israel time and again and all he did was lean on him to get him to sign and he didn’t do it to further the cause of peace or stop the genocide but to inflate his own ego and get a Nobel peace prize.

        That would make sense if the context were something other than Israel… So what you wrote is true, but it’s just a deflection.

      And the Ayatollah Khomeni and Putin. It just means the person who is the most disruptive generating the most news, not that they are the best “man”.

      “Time magazine supported genocide in 1938 making Aldolf Hitler, ‘Man of the Year’… Time magazine supporting genocide in 2024 by labelling those opposed to the genocide of Palestinians ‘Antisemitic’.”

      Only one of those statements is “misleading”
