massacre?
edithamas calls it a massacre and suddenly we take that as a source? seems silly. its also an allegation. CViB (talk) 00:23, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- "Attack" and "strike" appear to be more commonly used by reliable sources. Not sure what you mean by "allegation" though. Nythar (💬-🍀) 00:28, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- no credible source describes it as a "massacre". only "source" one doing so is Hamas CViB (talk) 02:44, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- Here are uses of the word 'massacre'- not just when quoting the government of Gaza (Hamas political wing)- in English-language news from countries, intl. orgs, and accepted major media outlets I could find. This is just concerning its usage- ignoring the factual basis for the application of the word
- this is a recent event, so more may come (and will try to update later)
- Governments and Intl. Organizations:
- Egypt (Egypt Today): [1]
- Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC): [2]
- Palestinian Authority (Palestinian News & Info Agency): [3]
- Kuwait (Kuwait News Agency): [4]

- @Mason7512 none of those are credible sources. none of them. those are pro-arab anti-israeli sources. 138.255.255.35 (talk) 21:54, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- First, Al Jeezera is considered credible on Wikipedia (see WP:ALJAZEERA).
- Second, the Governments and International Organization are not included because they are or are not credible, but to establish usage and international perception.
- Third, what do you mean 'pro-arab'? they are all arab countries and arab outlets, yes. No entity is void of bias, and bias does not automatically exclude their inclusion/consideration on Wikipedia (see WP:BIASED and WP:ALLOWEDBIAS which, again, apply to sources, which is not what I am recommending the governments/orgs be) Mason7512 (talk) 22:17, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
