      Looks more like the opposite of what you claim is happening. Are you doing a "big lie", i.e. repeat an obvious untruth so that people will start believing it?

        Any statistics or is yours also a claim only?

        Searching through hacker news to verify this isn't so easily done so yes, I will have to concede to call mine merely a claim as well.

  Yeah definitely all journalists in Gaza are Hamas staff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_the_Gaza_war https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_... My source: The IDF posted their names next to the word 'terrorist khamas' in a red bold typeface.

    this is one of the most pointless pages on wikipedia. a bunch of people that have any affiliation with media organization called journalists (even those that are explicitly listed as having various administrative roles including drivers) and there is no actual information about them been targeted for been, supposedly, journalists and not dying as part of collateral damage

  Yah that's not how the world works. If you feel Israel is being wronged, and are ackshually the good guys, then feel free to state the exact reason publicly. Be convincing! We are listening. If you can't defend your position, THEN you can go ahead and be silent, instead of telling other people to be silent. Otherwise, you can go ahead and believe the people making the convincing arguments that Israel are the bad guys.

    You find that a convincing argument? My point is that none of us know nearly as much as we think we do. If you think you’ve somehow zeroed in on the truth while sitting behind a screen or keyboard, you are sorely mistaken. Telling me about how the world works while trying to treat it like a comic book with clearly delineated good and bad guys is kind of ironic.
    - vFunct 1y ago
      Yes that's a convincing argument, because the public support has taken our side. Polls show support for Israel has massively dropped, even in pro-Israel countries like the US. Some of us DO know as much as we think we do. Not everyone is the idiot that you think they are. You have yet to explain why you believe Israel are the good guys? But every argument you could make has already been rebuffed anyways, which is why our side can speak out and your side cannot. Face it: Israel is about to end, likely within the next decade. Palestine won. Israel lost.
