Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

If they believe 500 were killed in an Israeli strike on a hospital in Gaza they must fail the class immediately xD
That depends on which of the several bombed hospitals you're talking about.
I'm talking about the Al-Alhi hospital. Hamas terrorists claimed 500 people died around 10 minutes after the explosion took place in the parking lot. Meanwhile, Israel is still identifying bodies from the October 7th terror attacks.
hospitals do have lists of patients and staff though… and they’re usually centralised… so it’s pretty easy to tally up a rough estimate for who was in a hospital at a given time
sure, hamas is full of shit: they lie about loads of things… but having quick numbers for who died when a hospital was destroyed is far from unlikely… let’s make sure we accuse people of the right things and not make the disinformation worse aye?
The hospital was not destroyed. The failed missile strike landed in the courtyard, and analysts currently view it as a Hamas misfire.
So yes, let's not make disinformation worse.
there have been multiple hospital strikes
Cool so maybe don't get confused?
I'm not sure what you want from this conversation. Nothing will make anything said above accurate.
"I only lied a little," is not suggesting that what you said is not a lie
Donald Trump is not, in fact, a genius. This isn't court where I need to prove your intent. I'm not an idiot, and we both know you were putting the failure of Oslo on Israel specifically, just to make Israel look bad.
That's a lie, and you're a liar.
i think that you’re misunderstanding or interesting perverting pretty much everything i’ve said
i’ve not used any absolutes, i haven’t “blamed” anyone for anything, i haven’t even really said much that would sound like specific fact… just general statements about the feasibility of data collection (well i did say that there have been multiple hospital strikes, but i’m not sure if there’s some kind of problem with that: it’s just a fact)
i’d like to suggest that you’re interpreting something i said through a particular lens and getting defensive about it
That 'claim' turned out to have been invented by the media, possibly due to language issues. There was an article a while back about how there's no actual source for the claims that doesn't go in a circle.
Who the fuck ends a comment like that with "xD"
It's actually insane how you are getting downvoted when the Hamas' claim is already debunked as being in fact fake news.
Isreal is doing a lot of bad shit, and has been for a long time. But this particular bombing never happened as described by Hamas.
Perhaps it’s because an explosion at a hospital, no matter the cause, isn’t really something to “xD” about.
Exactly right, his comment has the typical shill signature.
It's not irrelevant, because this place has a lot of people who believe complete bullshit.
They're gonna be big mad when California is less leftist and more liberal as a result of this program
I'm a liberal, broheim. Thought that was pretty obvious
You are refering to western media inventing that claim from a post actually talking about probably up to 500 casualties (dead or injured), aren't you?
If not... here's your chance to not fail the class: show any actual source for that claim that isn't media themselves refering to "we haerd someone said".
Yes, the same for claims that Israel didn't murder more than ten thousand civilians on a disproportionate response (like a certain world leader did before having to stick his feet into his mouth). Focusing on one instance of disinformation to create a smokescreen for war crimes is disingenuous at best.
