    The title of the article;

    Young Palestinian creator who shared glimpses of daily life during war dies

    Within the news article;

    Medo Halimy, 19, died after he was hit by shrapnel during an Israeli airstrike on Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis on Monday, several of his friends told NBC News.

    He was murdered, they should change the title to;

    Young Palestinian creator who shared glimpses of daily life during war murdered by Israeli airstrike

      Even the most passive, neutral reporter in the world in any other case could/would say

      “Young Palestinian creator who shared glimpses of daily life during war killed by Israeli airstrike.”

      That is just 100% fact without a shadow of any doubt at all. The airstrike created the shrapnel that killed him, launched by Israel.

      Dammit fuck, was he on chemo and didn’t tell no one? Oh man… or please don’t tell me OD’d?
      He just died while vlogging about surviving being trapped under daily genocidal indiscrimenant bombing for almost an entire year.

    Halimy was an alumnus of the State Department’s Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program, which gives high school students from countries with “significant Muslim populations” the opportunity to live and study in the United States for an academic year.

    He attended Harker Heights High School in the Texan city of the same name as part of the program in 2021 and 2022.

    “Medo was creating vlogs of his daily life as a refugee in Almawasi, where he showed people how it is to live in a tent and how surviving a genocide isn’t an easy feat but he was doing it either way,” it said. “It wasn’t an easy feat at all.”

    “teenage hamas adjacent terrorist runs into shrapnel; dies by his own actions” /s

    edit: good points in the replies-- should have added /s because people say this unironically

      See I think the problem is that I can’t tell if you’re making fun of the obvious bias of newspaper headlines and articles, or the teenager who just died… Because it’s the kind of thing the IDF would unironically say.

      A great alternative to “unironically,” is “seriously.” I say this unironically, and not in the Morissette way.

        i would have thought the quotes would indicate the intent of the tone of the actual headline-- guess not

          If it is indeed sarcasm or anything like that, I suggest use “/s” which stands for sarcasm. People will understand the tone that way.

          Sometimes its hard to figure out whether someone means their comment as sarcasm, seriously and such.

            Agreed. No matter how obviously sarcastic it is to you, it’s important to remember the internet is public, which means there are those who would post that in earnest.

        At risk of misreading, I think they might be parodying the usual IDF line. The ‘runs into shrapnel’ bit is a little over the top.

    I love how Americans kill half my people, refuse to even acknowledge it. Suddenly they’re on to the next news story and morally grand standing and patting their own backs, while calling everyone else murderers

      Maybe, just maybe, the Americans who support Palestinians aren’t the same Americans who are support our genocidal military industrial complex.

      70% of Americans want an immediate ceasefire. 75% Americans are opposed to any increases in military spending (56% want a decrease: https://afsc.org/news/most-us-adults-support-pentagon-spending-cuts). So please understand that the US government is a plutocracy that doesn’t represent the will of the American people anymore than Putin represents the majority of Russians.

      Americans are not a hive mind. The ones who mourn his loss are not the ones in power happily sending aid to Israel. Just like not every Palestinian participated in Oct 7.

        Tell me you don’t know the first thing about the Palestinian situatuon without telling me you don’t know the first thing about the Palestinian situation.

        Removed for misinformation bad enough to be overt racism.

          The misinformation is the statement of Americans killing half his people. It’s misinformation and bad enough to be overt racism as well. Because the numbers from his own government don’t even nearly represent a fraction of half his people.

          It’s funny too because Americans don’t kill Palestinians. We send them the most aid and supplies than any other country. Israelites kill Palestinians not Americans. But that’s not misinformation to you.

        Without western money your society will have collapsed a long while ago.

        Spoken like a typical dumb American. The world has seen more prosperity and wealth before the west plundered it all.

        …and that still doesn’t change the fact that the headline is using passive language to lessen the impact of this boy’s death. You see this shit with police killings too; they say someone, “Died in police custody,” rather than, “Killed during a violent arrest.” Betty White died, this kid was killed in an air strike.

          You’re cheering the killing of a civilian who was trapped under constant bombing for almost an year. I assume because you believe he was someone who cheered the killings of others because of races or religon; he was probably commenting “One less terrorist dead and fuck Israelis” on Oct-7 watching non-combatant civilians getting slaughtered.

          I agree so how many should we kill from this race which you don’t like furher? would you be happy if we grouped millions of them and gassed them in chambers to death? sounds good to you yet?
