Community description for ManufacturingConsent is "when the media decides who you are rooting for." So, being banned for questioning their narrative strikes me as absurdly funny. I mean, I guess if the idea of the community is that geneva_convenience should decide whom you root for, that would track.

The post in question: https://piefed.ca/post/266435

(I pointed out that the Guardian was probably including the hostages who died after the attacks. This really bugged OP and led to a ban.)

I don't really care for a remedy, seems a silly place. Just thought it was funny as heck.

(For what it's worth, like most, I side with Palestine but I think being accurate lends credence to our cause.)

YDI, You're not really correcting numbers but speculating. And again it's worth noting that many if not all zio detainees were killed by zionist attacks. Many of these murders were far after the initial resistance. The ICE comparison is really weak and gross.

So the article is misleading and you're just feeding into it with more propaganda/speculation.

    YDI, You’re not really correcting numbers but speculating.

    There's the "day of" death total provided by OP. There are hostages, taken in the attack who died as a result of being taken hostage. These two numbers, with some margin of error, give the casualties listed by the Guardian.

    To declare the hostages as somehow being counted differently is as stupid as ignoring radiation poisoning when counting the casualties in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    If you want debate as to whether whoever deserved what, you can do that with someone else. But your gross perspective does not change the number of deaths that resulted from October 7th.

    as a result of being taken hostage

    To zionist launched bombs.

    So people killed by Zionists attributed to their victims. Please fuck off you hazbarite piece of shit.

    Unless youre also willing to say literally every death in this conflict and all previous, on both sides, is attributable to Zionist aggression. Which you are not.

    YDW and it involves a dremel you genocide apologist piece of subhuman filth. Can this asshole at least be server banned?
