Many of you will already have read about this. Paediatric specialist Dr Alaa al-Najjar was on duty when the bodies of nine of her 10 children were received by her in the hospital, after a strike in Khan Younis hit her home.

This report just stopped me in my tracks. I don't know what to say beyond this. I cannot stop thinking about this poor woman tonight.

er children killed by a strike in Khan Younis. Guardian link

Isn't it just.

Do you remember the thread another lovely poster put up about the Palestinian film maker killed and it was derailed with the same crap . Op pulled it then because they were upset by the deflections.

Because if we are talking about their drivel we aren't talking about a woman who lost 9 of her babies.

Precisely, it really does them no favours but they persist, as we can guess why.

This is just rubbish and another form of deflecting that we see so often by a select few posters on these threads.

Most people can see right through it.

Israel bombed the home of this doctor killing her nine children with many of them burnt extremely badly.

There is an uproar over this on main stream media so now some people are trying desperately to deflect and blame everyone and everything else except for Israel who dropped the bombs and killed the children.

The Honest Reporting website was set up specifically to expose false information and anti- Israel propaganda.

Where has it ever been shown to be wrong?

Can you go through the website and point out the lies?

How dare you dismiss it as ‘Hasbara drivel’ when you probably use Al Jazeera and Instagram as your sources.

I was commenting on this article showing fake images about the doctor. I commented on this use of fake images etc that helps no one at all.

Unfortunately, few read the link and so jumped on my commenting with various assumptions.

I'm.sure there have been fake images used and pr runs this conflict and incites people

I read that piece of Hasbara drivel earlier.

I was only asking who John was you keep referring to a person called Honest John but I was wondering who it was because there was no John in the article it's Honest Reporting. Is it a nickname for those in the know and believe this.

Only asking because accuracy is so important to you.

I apologise.

It's the article I was referring to. No idea where John came from. Now I understand why you couldn't find it. I was unaware of the nickname and thought it was Honest John. My mistake.

That was the article I was commenting on. I was quoting the fake pictures etc. I never said all images from all sites were fake as someone assumed.

To McFly.

This is the story posted earlier. I was commenting on this post after reading the link.in this story. I used quotes from this piece. They show some inaccurate pictures and AI generated images shared on social media.

If you scroll back.its there to see. I've just found it again and quoted it here.

Commenting on a link posted earlier, leads to the usual... are you denying children died, my answer is NO, are you saying...etc etc. No, I am commenting on an article shared about some fake images shown, (not all images from all sites (surely that much is obvious for the people at the back waiting to jump).

It's painful on here. Having to carefully explain every single comment, so that people who want to purposely misinterpret everything , understand.

Why hasn’t Egypt opened its border to allow at least women and children refuge from a war zone?

Have you all written to your MPs about that?

Anyway, just putting this here. No one, on a parenting site, has questioned how a mother of TEN children aged 12 and under manages to hold down a job as a paediatrician (I don’t think there’s much in the way of daycare in Gaza).

Especially when she wears a BURKA so is obviously part of a devout Muslim household and that must make it quite a challenge to do her job.

Are we to assume her husband, also a doctor, who drove her to work while leaving all those children at home alone (having been given notice to evacuate the area), did the childcare and she must have gone back to work quite soon after each successive birth?

I mean come on, put your hate of Israel aside for a second and try to use your logic and critical thinking skills instead of accusing people who DO actually use them of being bots which is slightly the pot calling the kettle black if you think about it (ah but then you’d have to use the skills above so a bit of a challenge).

My faith in humanity has been destroyed by people who are full of such hate for a long persecuted group of people that they will believe evil terrorist propaganda over all sense and logic, despite those terrorists live-streaming horrific atrocities that they gleefully carried out for all to see and sacrificing their own their own children for their fucked up ideology.

At the end of the day people are dying in an awful conflict. I'm sure that we all want it to end.

Making things up or saying people said things they didn't doesn't help the situation at all.

Yet further down you suggested you couldn't find it , that you only found a car sales type site.

So you know it (your first comment claims to) or you dont know it and you are not be able to find it (your second comment later says this). Both cannot be true.🙄

Please I'm actions cracking up here I keep looking at the links and I can't find any John.

Theres an Honest Reporting site which is heavily biased but no bloody John!

People dying doesn't make it genocide

Wiping out an entire minority does.

Lots of verified facts and images here! Do tell us which ones are fake! Do you think the kids never existed or do you think they didn’t die or what exactly are you trying to say. Nine children murdered in this one family.

I never said that all images were fake.

I never said the children never existed.

If you actually read the post that was shared upthread and what it says then you might understand the comments. If you chose not to read the original story and subsequent posts, you won't understand the comments.

However, making things up that weren't said doesn't help at all.

It is absolutely fascinating posters who insist they are the holders of the only truth and everyone else is posting the wrong information and then link to

Honest Reporting : an Israeli media advocacy group.

Someone linked the original story above.

I read it. Some parts of the story which can be checked are true, fake pictures of doctors children, fake pictures of doctor with the bodies, etc, some content is stereotyping prejudice. A reason to question things perhaps. There are fake stories on both "sides'

But this story isn't fake even if one image that was being shared on social media was. Incidentally it was dr najjar's family who asked social media users to not share the fake image.

It doesn't detract from the story in anyway though does it?

It's probably not true though really now is it@YourOnMute .

-It's just a sound bite for virtue signallers.
-They were all Hamas (even babies.)
-BBC is anti semitic.
-The pictures and facts are false.

Try separating when it's true and when it's not. Some stories are true, some stories are not. Both can be possible.

More gazans did die today, true. That's a fact.

@namechangedformyanswerAre you having a laugh? That’s not journalism, that’s a propaganda site set up by some Zionists. It literally breaks every rule of journalism in the book - no sources, no evidence just lots of made up “facts”. You wouldn't even get that back from a real editors with red lines through it, you’d just be fired!

I could go through the article and explain why the whole thing is ludicrous but it’s not worth wasting my time, it’s just so ridiculous. Look at the BBC, the Guardian, the Times - look at accredited sites where they have to follow the rules on reporting, cite sources, verify facts and photographs and abide by a code of conduct.

Edited

I could also go through the article and ask why are news sites using pictures of the wrong children, the wrong mother, why use AI pictures?

If only accurate pictures were used then Honest John couldn't run the story at all. It's bad enough without the need for fake pictures and stories. It helps no one
