Where is the outrage? Where have all the “humans” gone? Israel slaughtered over 300 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.

None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

The sheikh wandered around the city with a lamp

I’m tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human

They said it cannot be found, we have searched, As we said before

That which cannot be found I desire

    Doesn’t Hamas also call them that? Or perhaps it’s just translated as such.

    Would be news to me, and that kind of double standard in language has been used a lot (see “kidnapped from his tank”).

    The entire point of that article is to report on what Israel is saying.

    Yes? That’s exactly my point. Do they have articles who’s whole point is to report on what Palestine is saying? Yemen? Russia?

    So I’m not sure how that can be disproportionate if it exclusively talks about what it says in the headline

    They choose their own headlines.

    I think it makes sense for a media outlet to also report what Israel says

    I don’t.

    The Guardian also mentions that the “eruption of violence” started on October 7th, and I’m pretty sure that’s objectively true as well

    You going to read the rest of that sentence? The part that goes “…when thousands of Hamas-led gunmen attacked Israeli communities around the Gaza Strip, killing 1,200 people and abducting 251 hostages.”

    and I’m pretty sure that’s objectively true as well

    It’s also objectively true that Israel is a fascist, genocidal ethnostate, you won’t see them saying that though.

    The “comedically low death count” is the count as reported by the Gaza health ministry.

    1. That death count is the direct munitions deaths that the barely functionally health ministry has been able to confirm. It is the depths of willfully misleading to imply that thats the actual estimated total death count. And you can tell that it’s misleading, because it misled you.

    2. Even that count is much higher than the number Guardian gave now, they’re using old numbers.

    but that’s a different statistic.

    Actually no, that’s the statistic The Guardian is falsely claiming it is.

    Not sure what you want the Guardian to do here

    For a start, they should include that the estimates for total deaths had already passed the two hundred thousand mark half a year ago.
