Rafah is now home to over 1 million internally displaced Palestinians living on its streets and in makeshift tents

    You realise that Wikipedia is not one iota more credible than a lemmy comment right? You won’t believe people here, but funnyguy1234 (actual name of one that articles writers) is a font of academic rigor? Also lol at well sourced - you never bothered to check them, if you did you wouldn’t say that. Here’s a challenge; what were the pieces of primary evidence that convinced you?

      I was convinced by this Bell¿ncat satellite image of a concentration camp interning over a million people: http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=31.416944&lon=34.365234&z=11&m=w

        Once when I compared the Uyghur genocide conspiracy to WMDs in Iraq, I had a Lemmy Worlder unironically reply “They’re completely different! WMDs in Iraq was just a claim from the Bush admin, but we have satellite pictures of the Uyghur genocide!”.

          They are completely different and this is a dumbass comment.

          Just because a massive organization made up of millions of people lied once doesn’t mean everything else they ever say is a lie. That’s dumbass child level reasoning. Present sourced evidence that contradicts the sourced infromation in the wikipedia article or don’t bother commenting.

            Just because a massive organization made up of millions of people lied once

            It seems you are unaware that these kinds of lies are rampant and have been documented for decades, to the point where reliable patterns have emerged:

            • Michael Parenti, 1986: Inventing Reality: The Politics Of The Mass Media
            • Edward Herman & Noam Chomsky, 1988: Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media.
              A five minute primer: Noam Chomsky - The 5 Filters of the Mass Media Machine

            .

            Perhaps you’re unaware of many of the US’s atrocities, because many are hidden or distorted through the above methods. Nobody lies like the imperial core propaganda machine.

          They’re better than yours, the ones in that article link to journal articles, you’ve provided absolutely nothing.

              a few of the journal articles, though many of the reports from human rights groups, and the sheer volume of independent reports from different new outlets (big and small) is also rather compelling (as well as bellingcat’s reporting):
