In her 2019 book, Incarcerated Childhood and the Politics of Unchilding, Shalhoub-Kevorkian described how 11 years ago, during Israel’s 2014 onslaught against Gaza, Jerusalem’s fanatical marchers in Tel Aviv were already celebrating the annihilation of Gaza’s children.
Their chants were chilling: “In Gaza there’s no studying / No children are left there / There’s no school tomorrow / There’s no children left in Gaza! Oleh! / Gaza is a graveyard.”
Shame on Middle East Eye for the disclaimer at the end of the article.
I don’t think for legal purposes - not specifically, anyway. All newspapers I read (Dutch ones) have opinion pieces which explicitly do reflect the opinion of the newspaper (written by the editors and generally known as a ‘commentary’). All other opinion pieces published by the newspaper are the opinion of the individual columnists, not of the newspaper (even though they published it and it may align with their opinion anyway).

I would assume that it’s boilerplate for all contributed articles.
Especially articles categorized as opinion pieces.
It probably is, for legal purposes.

It’s just transparant, pretty much.
