Yeah the media should be ashamed of how that got out of control. It was one broken English quote from a random Israeli soldier without any fact checking.
The Israeli government promoted it first more than news, then Biden parroted it (while lying about seeing photos), which gave the story real legs. There were also supposed journalists all over Twitter spreading it.
They outright knowingly lie, at the behest of our governments. NYT admitted it, Julian Assange and Edward Snowden exposed all this, not to mention Kiriuk (sp?), Manning and many others. The west propagandize and spy on their own citizens and each other. USA has been doing it since our inception and ratcheted it up with Hearst and the Spanish-American war.
The article you are quoting is published by the state-run Turkish media agency, with numbers sourced from the Palestinian Health Ministry. I don’t think those are unbiased or trustworthy sources when considering how close they are to the conflict. Meanwhile, there have been over 9000 civilian deaths in Ukraine from the 2022 invasion according to multiple reliable sources, including the UN. Even if your source was reliable, your math is not.
Can someone provide context for this?
Isreal after the Hamas attack lies about beheaded babies to garner international sympathy.
Israel has bombed over 800+ civilians, 40% of which are women and children, within the past week,
totalling to more casualties than Ukraine in their conflict with Russia, a year long conflict, in the span of one week.Edit: idk where I read the death doll about Ukraine, but I have been mislead on that tidbit. The rest still stands.

These hoaxes and fake stories really do show how little fact checking happens in most newsrooms.
