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.
dies
They are really laying it on thick with the passive voice.
“dies”
That just happens sometimes.
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.

Yeah this is the first time I’m hearing of this guy. Would be cool to see
The CBC and BBC got it right.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/israel-hamas-airstrike-medo-halimy-1.7308918
BBC says “alleged airstrike”. For anyone questioning how media is helping “washing” the genocide.
It goes like this:
- use passive language as much as you can when you dont like what happen
- use suggestive language to blame hamas
- mention how it all started in october 7
- mention 1200 killed by hamas ignoring “idf” Hannibal directive.
- mention number of people in Gaza reported earlier this year, make sure to say hamas runs the health ministry who reported this number.
- dont mention starving children, lack of food, water, and vaccine.
- dont mention any “idf” act of genocide like killing their own hostage waving a white flag or the international court genocide case.
- pretend that you have nothing to do with it
- make sure to include “idf” statement or that they are doing an investigation.

The genocidal apartheid state run propaganda ministry has claimed there is a 1 to 1 death ratio.
Obviously lies, considering the total dead are 72% women and children.
Hamas has admitted to counting all teenagers as children, even if they are 19 and members of hamas.
Source - Why the U.N. revised the numbers of women and children killed in Gaza,
https://www.npr.org/2024/05/15/1251265727/un-gaza-death-toll-women-children
The article you linked claims 70% of the reported deaths have been identified. So even if “only” 25k out of 35k people are really dead, that’s still a shit fucking ton of people. How are you arguing about this and not feel the need to take a shower? It’s disgusting.
"Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) verified a total of 35,160 civilian casualties during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as of July 31, 2024. Of them, 23,640 people were reported to have been injured. "
That’s a lot fewer dead civilians in a lot more time. I know the situations aren’t the same but it’s still two countries invading another and killing people.
The difference here is that ukraine puts its military at the edge of cities in fortified defensive lines so the ukrainian military can shield ukrainian civilians from danger, where as palestine puts it’s military in bunkers hidden in the middle of cities so the palestinian civilians can shield the palestinian military from danger.

Palestine does not have an army, Hamas are just a group of people together that lost their home, land, families and friends by massacres done by Israel Occupation Forces.
so the palestinian civilians can shield the palestinian military from danger.
This claim always gets used but never do I see the opposite claim while that’s been proven. Israel uses Palestinian people as shields too, heck they even shot their own Israeli citizens death.
- The Israeli army’s use of Palestinian civilians as human shields has been documented on a large scale
- Israel’s human shields: Its own people
- This is how Israel uses its own people as human shields
- Israeli troops killed hostages, mistaking their cries for help as ambush -military
- 3 hostages killed by Israeli soldier in Gaza were waving a white flag, Israel says
- How an Israeli raid freed 4 hostages and killed at least 274 Palestinians in Gaza
Also, Israel has done so many atrocities, it’s genuinely impossible to link them all here;
-
Israel’s PM Netanyahu ‘proud’ of preventing establishment of a Palestinian state
-
Far-right minister says nuking Gaza an option, PM suspends him from cabinet meetings
-
Israel Defense Minister Calls Palestinians ‘Human Animals’ Amid Israeli Aggression
-
Israeli politician: Palestinian prisoners should be allowed to be raped
They also put their military among aid convoys and stuff, right? Super convenient.
I hope that, someday, you realize how wrong you are. I hope you don’t just shuffle away from your prior skewed views and act like you weren’t an abhorrent monster. I hope you own up to who you were and carry that shame with you to better yourself as a human being.
Cheers.
Not sure how international institutions can make it clearer.
Of course they’re committing genocide.
And yet there has never been a successful conviction of genocide against Israel in any legal forum.
After 20+ years of genocide claims, the life expectancy in gaza is greater then in Egypt where there is no genocide.
Typical fascist propaganda, the enemy is both too strong and too weak. Israel i strong enough to do genocide but they are so weak that their genocidal efforts amount to less harm against palestine then if Israel handed control over to Egypt, who is not doing genocide.

This link here, shows all the stages of genocide; The ten stages of genocide. A quick glance and we can determin already that’s Israel is on stage 8. There’s currently a whole trial ongoing about Israeli’s genocide on Palestinian people
After 20+ years of genocide claims, the life expectancy in gaza is greater then in Egypt where there is no genocide.
Any evidence of this heavy statement or is this ‘‘source: trust me, a stranger on the internet’’? Because this claim is so absurd, I cannot even take it seriously.

I don’t even understand what you mean with this sentence. What do you mean?
From what I get from all your comments, you support Israel, their Apartheid, murdering behavior. If I’m wrong, correct me.

This should be a wakeup call to you that your belief system is inherently flawed and based on propaganda.
The truth, to you, is so absurd that you can’t take it seriously?
In 2022, the average life expectancy in the West Bank and Gaza was 75.4 years for females and 73.2 years for males.
The life expectancy for Egypt in 2022 was 72.38 years for males, and 67.2 for females.

It’s so absurd because you give zero sources in your first comment. Any stranger from the internet can claim anything and pretend its the truth. So yes, I’m immensely skeptical when it is without sources.
Like I said in another comment, I might comment make later on. Not at home right now.

You also didn’t give any answer to my other question and ignored the 10 stages of genocide link.
I would also like to say, my views are based on history and not propoganda. I’ve read what Israel has been doing since 1948 up until now (ongoing). But you seem to ignore all the facts about Israel’s past and all the trustable links so it can fit your narrative.
EDIT: corrected word, added bit more context.
You didn’t read the link then.
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.

Wish there was a way to link to the modlog every time someone’s like “nO oNe oN lEmMy SuPpOrTs GeNoCiDe.”
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.
Wonder what he died of? Weird that the headline phrasing is so vague and passive.
if you click on the link it’s actually a whole article
…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.
mb I didn’t get that you were trying to convey that
