JERUSALEM, April 2 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu begins a four-day visit to Hungary on Thursday, defying an International Criminal Court arrest warrant over allegations of war crimes in Gaza as Israel has expanded its military operation in the enclave.

As a founding member of the ICC, Hungary is theoretically obliged to arrest and hand over anyone subject to a warrant from the court but Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban made clear when he issued the invitation that Hungary would not respect the ruling.

    Exactomundo! Choosing the dialogue, choosing the spin, it’s one the major spheres of control.

    My ‘breakthrough’ moment was during Covid. Just looking at all the news (from sites I deemed ‘my side’) without any real information, but loaded with emotional phrasing made me realize that I am being used. I love that we have multiple options for news, don’t get me wrong, but I felt betrayed.

    Since then, I mostly read comments or watch the video of the event the media is spinning. Comments are pretty awesome, cuz real people help digest (or misinterpret) the harsh tone of the outside world.
