‘Shrapnel, stones and scattered human flesh’: Testimonies from survivors of Gaza school bombings

The bombings on Thursday struck terror among the crowds of displaced people sheltering at the schools. Witnesses at the Abdul Fattah Hamoud School in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in Gaza City told Mondoweiss that the school was at one of its most crowded hours in the middle of the day when the bombs hit.

“There was a water well in the school that provided for more than 300 families inside the school, and the Israeli army directly bombed the well,” Hamada said. “The world ignores our slaughter, if these scenes were published somewhere else, it would be a crime that everyone would condemn.”

This is not the first time that Israel has bombed the Abdul Fattah Hamoud School. On June 25th, the same school was bombed, killing 13 displaced people. Many families evacuated the school after the first bombing. However, many of the families also had no alternative shelter and did not know where to go, so they remained in the school.

“We have escaped death many times, but perhaps it was written for us all to die in this war,” Mahani says, pondering his family’s fate. “All of my cousins were martyred in this bombing. None of them remained. An entire family was erased from the civil registry in this bombing,” he said.

If “the blending of opinion with news and the promotion of… propaganda” was actually considered just cause for a low credibility rating, the Jerusalem Post would have one too.

Curiously enough though, it doesn’t.

One would suspect then that MBFC somehow fails to recognize Jerusalem Post’s brazen bias, but in fact they do recognize it, and point it out on their page, though they do notably only sort of mention it in passing, as if it’s not all that important. They also note two failed fact checks, yet still rate it High Credibility and Mostly Factual.

Mondoweiss, meanwhile, receives on its page a highly emotive and hectoring account of what only really amounts to the same bias as the Jerusalem Post but in the opposite direction - pro-Palestinian and anti-zionist instead of anti-Palestinian and pro-zionist - and in spite of no failed fact checks, is ranked as Low Credibility and Mixed Factual.

The only reasonable conclusion is that MBFC is itself biased. Which is, of course, the exact risk one invites when one entrusts a third party to purportedly rate bias.

I can of course block it and likely will, but that doesn’t really go far enough. A purported bias watchdog that is itself biased is rather obviously an abuse of the bot system, and should therefore be banned.
