INTENT. A mind is a shame to waste. You really should apologize to the trees for wasting the oxygen they work so hard to produce. BTW, there were not 26,000 deaths in Gaza and the 25,000 is including other causes of death.
Including other causes of death… Such as not having hospitals due to being bombed?
That’s even worse.

How would you feel if people in designated safe zones carrying a white flag get shot?

Would you take nytimes as a serious source that cites the Israeli military?.

That is behind a paywall but I’m aware of that incident. Again, what does my emotional reaction matter?
It’s not behind a paywall for me, sorry for that. But I have to ask, if you are aware of these kinds of incidents why did you ask for proof?

The incident I originally thought about, the hostages were not shot in a safe zone as far as I can tell
Just to make the two things separate I’ll make separate comment for this.
Why it matters what you or I care:
We cannot know what other people feel the only tool we know is called empathy.

Having emotions based on facts is not necessarily bias. If what’s happening is revolting it is a natural and I’d say positive way of going about things by acting on this feeling by trying to end whatever is causing the feeling.
