    The IDF will bomb a hospital and kill 200 people

    NYT article will say something like “200 Dead after bombs drop near a place, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.”

    They phrase everything so carefully.
    Like the bombs were some sort of natural disaster and not an intentional military strike on civilians.

    They always append “Hamas run health ministry”, to imply the information can’t be reliable, because it’s from a US-designated terrorist organisation

    The Israeli media will say “We killed 300 Palestinians”

      Wasn’t the bomb in this case from a Hamas fired rocket?

      Wouldn’t you want the news to not rush to conclusions?

        They aren’t talking about a particular instance because of how many times the IDF have bombed Palestinian hospitals

          Is there another case with over +200 plus killed?

          I’m all for hypotheticals, but the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion lead to millions of people having this exact conversation about media bias, so when you associate the death toll in this context, I am reminded of all those people who fell for blatant misinformation and critize good journalism.

          The OC’s comment reflects the context around the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion exactly. I would think it is naive to have not made the connection, but I also followed the war moderately close.

        It’s cute you think that event, which happened over a year ago now, is the only example of a hospital being blown up in Gaza.

        The IDF literally bombed a cancer center last week. With patients in it. And took credit.

        Like how the fuck is this even a question anymore

          Why do you think I only know of singular hospital attacks? You made it up and judged me for it, because I corrected misinformation.

          And isn’t the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion the only alleged hospital attack with 200+ killed in a single strike? Any reasonable person would connect the above hypothetical with that important awful event.

          Misinformation must be corrected. That shouldn’t only apply to your enemies.
