We all know 20,000 dead children is the universally-accepted standard for genocide, so until the IDF kills 30,000 children we'll continue to consider this conflict a gentlemanly skirmish between neighbors. The very second 50,000 children are killed, we promise to reassess our position. Or was it 60,000?
Genocide is the destruction of a people in whole or in part. Seeing as there's still Palestinians left, they clearly haven't been genocided. We'll revisit our stance on whether or not it's genocide once they're all dead.
The ministry did not change their killed count. They only changed the amount of bodies that were identified.
Say 6 million people got thrown into an oven during the Holocaust. Now there's not just unidentified bodies, there's no bodies at all. Does this mean those people were not killed and the Holocaust did not happen?
It's always rubbed me the wrong way. Especially since LGBT populations never stopped being a target and the good guys hated them as much as the nazis did.
Gaza health ministry changed how they classify unidentified vs identified bodies.
But my point was that NYT didn't do what the onion article title says they did.
I am not trying to defend NYT in their ignorance when writing their title, I just wanted to know how the onion title was related?
