        The phrasing is specifically intended to code it as “the baddies”.

        If I say “The Biden-run USA government” every single time I refer to the US gov you’d start to raise an eyebrow about why I’m doing that too.

        The emphasis plays a significant role here.

        Do they add “Likud-run” to everything?

        Adding “Hamas-run” to it was something that a load of western media outlets started doing in order to cast aspersions on the numbers that literally every serious observer (including the Israeli government) take as close to fact.
