    A story about rabbis counting the bodies of civilians killed in a major terrorist attack is being down voted by users. If this is something you think needs to be suppressed, you need to reassess your priorities.

      Perhaps Israel shouldn’t have put so much effort into ensuring Palestinians didn’t have access to education and other basic human rights. I’m not into what Hamas is doing or what they’ve done really ever, but what were these rabbis doing while Palestine was being bulldozed for settlements? What, honestly, was the expected outcome? Decades of grinding them down wasnt making things more peaceful. I don’t get it. You cannot blame people for not being sympathetic to headlines like this. You just can’t.

          Good job conflating Palestinians with Hamas. The only reason I might suspect it’s not intentional is that you did it with such a glaring lack of subtlety.

          I guess Israel shouldnt have backed Hamas in order create an Islamist opposition to the secular Fatah and PLO huh?

          Zionist is founded on the principle that taking the whole Palestine as their own land. Yet you expect Palestinian to invite Zionists over for coffee and hummus.

            I think its “Israeli state shouldnt exist” not “Jews shouldnt exist”.

            Jews were living in most Arab countries including Palastine well before the establishment of Israeli state.

            Edit: In fact Jews do live in Iran until this day

                Ya but like what many people repeat. Palestine is not Hamas.

                  Palestine is not Hamas.

                  Hamas is the governing party of Palestine. Palestine is Hamas in the same way Russia is the Putin administration. Certainly that can change in the future, but right now, Hamas is running the government of Palestine.

                    Hamas is the governing party of Palestine.

                    No it’s not. You are confusing Palestine with Gaza, Gaza is a small part of Palestine.

                    So Israel is Natanyaho then? These are all awful governing bodies but they don’t represent their people in my opinion.

                They arrested many “American Jews” in NY in last few days for protesting genocide against Palestinians in their name. No media is reporting on it.

          No it isn’t. Hamas was founded on the dissolution of Israel but they have no interest in killing Jewish people world wide. They’re not even necessarily interested in killing Jewish people in Israel. They just want the land back.

          The charter does use the word “Jewish” but scholars agree it is interpreted to mean the land and not the peoples

          And the second charter is in favor of a two state solution

      Rabbis having to work on the sabbath isn’t a new important revelation, it’s just a twist to refresh the story of “a lot of Israelis died” in the back and forth propaganda war.

      It’s not being “suppressed”, it’s just not news. And it’s very one-sided non-news at that.

      Emergency takes precedence over religious law or traditions. The mention of Jewish law in the article is unnecessary in the context.

      Downvotes don’t necessarily mean people dislike the post.

      It can mean that they dislike/disagree with what’s happening, not that they don’t want the post to exist.

        I downvoted it because my feed is already filled with Gaza-Israel war news and this is more human interest/niche. Not that people don’t need to see it, but it’s definitely some overload right now.

        I’ve upvoted many articles on this topic this week – from multiple perspectives.
