More children’s deaths in Gaza in 3 weeks than annual total since 2019: NGO - Lemmy.World

Who said it ? Hamas ? So its OK…

I cannot stand with that anymore, how can we have history at school and then live in a world like this. How westerners can be so blind ? Wtf with us the occident. When we will stop to spread our shit.

How is it possible ?

Fuck the capital, fuck religions, fuck belligerents,

They just wanted to live in dignity. And for us, living in this propaganda against the humanity and BTW making the world more bipolar than it is actually, make us wanna die.

Fuck all of this,

Ty for the share,

If Hamas said it, we should hope they’re lying like they lied about the hospital

If you’re referring to the number of deaths from that explosion, then that was a mistranslation that media outlets copied and ran with.

Source

TLDR: A more accurate translation of the original statement would have been victims or casualties. Not deaths. But when many news outlets were asked the source of the claim (as they had provided none in their articles) none responded with a source. But the source was later found and translated properly.

Did the Entire Media Industry Misquote a Hamas Spokesperson?

I asked a dozen reporters and news outlets for the source of a statement they attributed to Hamas. None of them answered. This is a case study of the failure of journalistic standards.

Was it also a misquote when Hamas said it was an Israeli airstrike?
There are still people who think it was an Israeli strike. Israel's contradictory evidence, as well as the direction of the rocket, make it much more likely to be Israel.
There are still people who think the earth is flat, so what?
No I'm talking like people that matter. I saw that one analysis a while back that states it's unlikely the rocket came from inside Gaza.
What you saw was a lingering desperate attempt to show that Hamas and PIJ are good guys.

A broken rocket can easily change direction and did, as the video of the blast showed. The direction of the crater doesn’t necessarily indicate the direction of the rocket.
The video of the blast? AFAIK the video did not show any change in direction.
