  • You’ve selected the least possible representative passage of the entire article. I suspect the interview subject would probably point to

    “I remember there was a hole in [Almog-Goldstein’s daughter’s] cheek and she was gasping her last breaths. There was an exit hole on the other side and her head was bleeding profusely,” Almog-Goldstein said through tears.

    or perhaps the opening line,

    Chen Almog-Goldstein refuses to forget her eldest daughter’s last moments. Yam, 20, was gasping for breath, having been shot in the face by Hamas gunmen, who minutes earlier had killed her father.

    or maybe this line about halfway through,

    Almog-Goldstein said. “But we were always terrified they would flip on us, that they’d get an order from someone to harm us, because clearly they were low-ranking cogs in the machine. We were constantly in angst or terror.”

    as being more representative of her experience.








  • Excuse me, what?

    It is incontrovertibly ON TOPIC to point out the fact that his dying words were FREE PALESTINE followed by a scream of DEATH AGONY because he was ON FIRE. His remarks factually did not conclude in the reported way. This is not a joke. I disagree it is crass or insensitive (Whose sensibilities am I supposed to have offended, precisely? More importantly: why the fuck should I care that their feelings are hurt by my pointing out the message he died to scream to the world?), and regardless it is factual and relevant. Go back and watch again if you don’t believe me, if you have the courage.

    “Crass jokes” aren’t prohibited by your badly written rules even if it were a joke.

    Your moderator indiscretion is what is crass here, if anything. Shame on you.
