"Truth is the first casualty in war." - Ethel Annakin (probably)

I wouldn't believe anything propagated by either side, neither the first reports nor the debunking.
If it isn't agreed upon by both sides or reported by an independent source, it is most likely propaganda.

I attribute it, at least in part, to the frenzy people have whipped themselves into. The "I am right, and you are wrong" mentality transfers from the subject of the debate to tangential matters. @IndigoChild5559 wouldn't admit to being wrong in any case, even it was just a typo, in conversation with you. Radicalization will do that to people.
Yeah. We've all made errors in grammar and spelling. Not many claim what turns out was a typo was really someone editing the text.
It would be worth its own thread to highlight that is how deeply and unreasonably polarized things are. Society cannot function long if people are even blaming others for their own minor, trivial and petty mistakes.
It's been complained about for a long time now, by the Right and even many in the Left, how a word like Islamophobia gets misused to silence even valid criticism and now we see it being applied, and very broadly so, that even criticizing the actions of a state and its military get labeled as anti-Semetic and frequently are considered pro-Hamas, amd often by those who decry political correctness and absolutely hate the word Islamophobia (and often transphobia and homophobia) to the point they erroneously claim amd argue a phobia is limited to fear.
Maybe we should call it Jewphobia to hopefully make it more clear amd apparent how it's a real thing but also does get misused. But it's still dealing with people so expected results shouldn't be based on optimism.

Seriously? On 10/7, Hamas baked babies in ovens, beheaded people, raped women and children, chained mothers together with their children and set them on fire... It wasn't just killing people, it was done with the idea to cause maximum suffering. Nothing about what is happening in Gaza compares to this sadism.
I haven't seen major news outlets mention some of those things.
Even still, Hamas launched a one day attack that killed about 1200 people. Israel is still bombing them months later, has killed over 34,000 and has damaged and destroyed over half of gaza. Amd it's a promise that the violence will not end and will continue indefinitely because peace is obtained from peaceful actions by those who acknowledge the other's right to exist and autonomy to solve their own problems free of outsider influence drawing up boarders, sowing revolutions, installing puppet regimes, and funding and arming some enough to give them a decisive advantage.

Israel has committed even more such acts, eg, beheaded
babies, burned people, maimed people. Does it matter if
Hamas did it up close & personal, as opposed to Israel's
method of using bombs launched remotely by pushing
a button from relative safety? Israel's death dealing is
an order of magnitude greater.

Israel early on admitted that it prioritized destruction over
accuracy, indicating disregard for innocent civilians.
Your "maximum suffering" is actually inflicted by Israel,
eg, more than 10 times as many killed, more than that
maimed, hundreds of thousands of homes destroyed,
& now starvation because Israel assassinated World
Central Kitchen workers.

You are intent on deceiving yourself if you think Al Jazeera is a reliable, unbiased source. I can't really work with that. Best to move on.
Al Jazeera is one of the most reputable sources in this conflict as they are one of the few news orgs to have journalists in the ground in Gaza. Israel just hates Al Jazeera because it tells the truth about Israel's crimes. Israel has destroyed their building and killed multiple journalists and employees of Al Jazeera.

RIP, Shireen.

I learned of those things from major news outlets. But given that it was a half year ago, and searches only turn up more recent news, I would be unable to find those sources for you.

My own "vote" if I have one would be for the Jewish students, and others, to leave campus promptly. It will be impossible for meaningful final exams to be administered. It is high time that Jewish donors park their money elsewhere. The temples of higher education are being defiled.
Oh, does that include all the anti-Zionist Jewish protesters like in Jewish Voice for Peace? All those people wearing "not in our name" shirts? At least half of the pro-Palestianian protestors I see in all those videos are Jews.

But as for the others, if they cannot handle free speech and protest, they need to leave anyway. Poor rich Ivy League trust fund kids. What danger they're in. Boo hoo.

If anyone is making threatening remarks, they need to be dealt with by the police and the school. However, there's evidence of the pro-Palestianian students being threatened and doxxed and the police and university doing nothing about it. I've seen videos of pro-Israel protestors shouting offensive things, but that gets ignored.

This is nothing but a made up controversy meant to shut down pro-Palestianian voices among the youth, because it angers the Zionist billionaire donors to these sold out prostitution rings...I mean, schools. I hope they do remove their money from these schools and shove it. These schools never should've become as whorish and corrupt as politicians. Now these psychopaths want the National Guard called in. Go, students, go. Don't be intimidated by cowards.

Are you for real? That stuff was all debunked months ago. Not one of those things happened.
I assumed. It's an assumption, but when it comes to such heinous violence against children it's usually propaganda to dehumanize a group and ferment hatred. It's definitely a very old, time tested means to reap massive heaps of knee jerk outrage.

When I investigated it, the problem was that no
evidence was presented. I'd expect that if it
really did, it would be trumpeted at great volume.

BTW, I did hear an interview with a Palestinian
girl pulled from rubble whose younger brother
was beheaded by an Israeli bomb. I've yet to
hear any Zionist express outrage at that.
