Note:

I swapped the original article at the request of a mod to from a source deemed more reliable, but to avoid confusion when reading the comment section prior to this edit, here is the link to the original article. I chose the Relief Web source listed by some who commented. Cheers!

    And that’s totally fair. And probably correct. But this article says the UN says something that the UN is not saying. Which means it’s a bad article

      It doesn’t though. Only the headline does that. That’s not good, but the article itself is not bad because of its headline.

        If the majority of people only read the title, poisoning the title is effectively making the article bad. Even if the article itself is sufficiently conditioned.

        So I will stand by my conviction that this is a bad article for this community.

          Hmmmm, I find it strange that you are being pedantic and insistent on the title spoiling the whole article. The article does an excellent job being factual, linking to all its claims, and backing them all up.

          I read the title again and again and I believe this is just a disagreement on the meaning of “report”, between you vs. the rest of the readers who had no issue with it + the authors themselves.

          Now I’m starting to think using the word “report” was actually more accurate… they literally mean that there was a report from the UN.

          On Wednesday, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) published a report

          This report and a similar allegation by the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor imply that Israel has moved from murdering civilians through bombing to mass executions.

          Reading the article again helped me realize this. Maybe it can help you too?

            I think they’d just rather it said “UN reports Israeli forces are alleged to be carrying out mass summary executions in Gaza.”

            Still doesn’t make the IDF look good, but it’s a fair point.

              Cool, no problemo. Can we now go back to discussing the killings?
