At least 26 people have been killed, and scores have been injured, near a US-backed aid distribution site near Gaza’s southern city of Rafah, according to medics and residents.
A local Palestinian journalist told the BBC that thousands of Palestinians had gathered near a humanitarian aid distribution centre when Israeli tanks approached and opened fire on the crowd.
The incident reportedly took place to the west of Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, and the injured are being treated at one of Gaza’s few functioning hospitals in Khan Younis.
The wording of this BBC article, as usual, makes it seem like the PEOPLE they murdered just happened to be in the crossfire.You know? As opposes to being lured somewhere during a manmade famine. Glaze those Zionist micro dicks some more, why don’t cha?
‘dead after’ is horrible wording but I specifically selected this BBC article because it mentioned the number of victims and the Israeli tanks opening fire.
TheGuardian is fully leaving out the perpetrator, victim count and the tank.

The headline is making the reader commit a ‘post hoc ergo propter hoc’ logical fallacy to get there. A weaselly headline like that gives cover to those who want to interpret events as the IDF not causing the deaths.
It’s so bad they I just start adding ‘by the IDF’ to any headline that doesn’t mention a cause or perpetrator in my mind automatically.

The Guardian one is fully passive voice, not mentioning IDF or Israel.

Oh because OP cited it (with image) in their comments explaining why they chose the one they did

Tanks fired, then people died. How many were killed directly? Any? Did people die in a panic stampede? The headline is misleading by omission, even while speaking basic facts. I suspect people were killed directly by the IDF, but can I support that with this headline? No.

They’re just using verbiage and phrasing common to … well basically any coverage of Police in the US these days.
Passive voice!
Indirect verbs / verb tense!
Respect and obey!
“inCiDenT” ffs just call it murder
“At least 26 killed amid Israeli tank fire near Gaza aid centre, rescuers say”
is the updated version, which I read as some may have died in the crush to escape or by falling or something during the slaughter and mayhem.
Which is typical media style to avoid expensive lawsuits.
Both the IDF and the “aid agency” claim NOTHING HAPPENED, while the doctors at the hospital say all fatal injuries are gunshots.
I’m not sure if they have any of their own people onsite, given that Israel isn’t allowing it and has killed many journalists.
They aren’t even pretending anymore. Get ready guys. This is coming world wide.
It was obvious from the first weeka after 7 of october. Remember natanyaho comparing palestinians to amalek , a nation that was supposely got genocided and where in the bible it say to kill everybody including infants and animals and the idf soldiers was repeating the reference
“No other army on the planet has been more benevolent”

I got a 404 clicking on your link cuz it looks like a bunch of unnecessary stuff after pj6t.
https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c628n68zpj6t works for me, in case anyone else has same problem.
I have rechecked and re-applied the link which bbc redirects to here: (the bbc link which says ‘share’) and tested it again to make sure it works for me.
Are you still have having issues with the link?
Yep, still a 404 for me. Not a big deal, at least for me though, as I was still able to find the article, and if anyone else has my issue, my guess is that my link will work for them?
