Note:

I swapped the original article at the request of a mod to from a source deemed more reliable, but to avoid confusion when reading the comment section prior to this edit, here is the link to the original article. I chose the Relief Web source listed by some who commented. Cheers!

    The UN added, “While in control of the building and the civilians sheltering there, the IDF allegedly separated the men from the women and children, and then shot and killed at least 11 of the men, mostly aged in their late 20’s and early 30’s, in front of their family members.” The UN continued, “The IDF then allegedly ordered the women and children into a room, and either shot at them or threw a grenade into the room, reportedly seriously injuring some of them, including an infant and a child. OHCHR has confirmed the killings at Al Awda building.”

      Funny, how you alter the source to make it seem more clear than it is. So here is the part you altered, as reported by the OHCHR:

      ‘OHCHR has confirmed the killings at Al Awdabuilding, although the details and circumstances of the killings are still under verification.’

        Just so you’re clear, the person you replied to directly quoted the article word for word

          The articles miss quoted then, and should therefore should be considered heavily biased.

              Maybe he should double check if the source he quotes is trustworthy. BTW: he hasn’t corrected his made-up quote.

                There was no made-up quote. The quote was from the article, which left the end off a sentence, saying that the circumstances are under investigation, although the killings have been confirmed. So we have survivors accusing the IDF of slaughtering these people and we have the bodies, but it has not definitively been proven that the people were killed in the way the survivors claim. People can make of that what they will. I’m not trying to twist anything.

                Here is the report (PDF):

                  The correct way to to cite it would be: ‘OHCHR has confirmed the killings at Al Awdabuilding […].’

                  Its simply wrong to not do it. Especially cutting of the sentence at a ‘,’.

                  And the last time a crime against humanity was still under investigation – where it was obvious that a rocket hit a hospital, but the exact circumstances where still unclear – it was later confirmed that Hamas hit the hospital.
