Why was the Gaza toddler Sky News thread deleted, and which guidelines?

Quoting Chat GPT is foolish at best. You might as well quote a parrot.

As I said on the other thread before it was deleted, this place is incredibly pro Zionist, and as soon as something is raised about the mistreatment of Palestinians, it will likely be deleted after a healthy dose of overblown outrage from Zionist supporters.

It's in the rest of the post... Confused?!

Its a bloody nightmare, a nice interesting thread, and I think 'oh I have some expertise here, I'll help the OP', and then after a long winded reply, links to helpful information, well thought out, just press 'post' and it disappears!!!

I think this thread shows exactly why it was deleted

I dont know why you're banging on about this, threads are pulled all the time

Usually after Ive spent about 5 minutes writing a long, detailed reply using research and links and then poof!!

Agree too, there are other platforms for that kind of content.

Am I

I cant help your interpretation

I saw this thread, wondered about it, googled it and that came up so seemed to suggest thats why it was pulled. Which makes sense

Although as other posters say, theres no point in the other thread remaining if it was just going to descend into 'yes it is, no it isnt'

Whats the point in that?

What @MyThreeWordssaid. I agree that the deletion of the thread was a necessary and justified action by MN.

The issue here is, that anything that is either Israeli, Jewish, from Israel is deemed not trustworthy and anything that comes from anywhere else seems to be trustworthy

And that’s a separate conversation in itself but by posting a link to a website that claims the story is fake news, in response to someone asking why a thread about the story was removed, does come across as though you’re pushing the narrative that it’s fake…

Either the story itself is fake news, or the discrediting of it is fake news. Whichever of these is the case, picking over it on a chat forum isn't functioning as genuine political discussion. It is just red meat for the hungry mouths of people who want to turn a devastating conflict into fodder for their righteous and tribal social media activity

People who want to ruminate online about this can get as worked up as they like, they can experience themselves as passionate advocates for justice and accountability, but really they are passing time on the internet by chatting about the alleged torture of a child.

I'd be happy for MN to delete threads that exploit tragedy in this way, regardless of whether the story is true or not.

It was obviously going to degenerate into the usual bunfight with half of the posters saying everything anyone Jewish says is a lie and that the IDF are baby torturers, and the other half saying otherwise... totally understand why it was removed.

I also commented on that thread last night and then poof it was gone…

Yes I read it, which is why I posted it

I have no idea of whether they are 'trustworthy' or not

The issue here is, that anything that is either Israeli, Jewish, from Israel is deemed not trustworthy and anything that comes from anywhere else seems to be trustworthy

Who knows?

As someone said, Ive given up trying to decipher which is true or not as its all propaganda.

I don't know, I swerve those threads after venturing into one where people were actively asking for links to videos of dead babies.

It's weird. Why do you want to see that stuff so much?

perhaps mnhq could clarify why the thread was removed.

This is why I don’t watch the news. I don’t trust it to be true. We are all fed propaganda

Sorry I didn’t see previous thread, but Channel 4 news reported on this toddler last night. They interviewed the Dr that treated him, she clearly stated he had cigarette burns and an entry and exit wound from something sharp.

Is the story true? Nadia Swahala did a post about this on her instagram and she is usually very well informed of things.

Apart from websites whose aim is to improve Israel’s reputation, there’s no suggestion that this is fake news?

Have you actually read this?

It doesn’t confirm the story is fake. It’s trying to persuade people that it is.

Considering the website and its motive, they are hardly trustworthy.
