Edit Request - misinformation - impersonations - nurse video

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip (2023–present). (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I'd like someone to add that the nurse video was originally posted on the israeli government foreign ministry's arabic twitter account https://www.thedailybeast.com/israels-comically-bad-disinfo-proves-theyre-losing-pr-war and that it seems like it was boosted by Edward Haïm Cohen Halala, who has reported ties to the israeli government, who apparently has a popular social media presence with an Arabic following. https://misbar.com/en/editorial/2023/08/18/how-does-edy-cohen-stir-up-controversy-and-mislead-the-arab-public-opinion https://www.newsweek.com/israeli-influencer-denies-playing-gaza-nurse-viral-video-1844715 I'm not sure how much of a reliable source misbar is but the newsweek article supports that it was his account that boosted the video.  I'm not as familiar with social media as I could be, it would be good if somebody with a good background in social media forensics were to have input on this.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Charliehdb (talk) 09:39, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

>>Please change nothing at the end of the second paragraph in impersonations section of the misinformation section of the article to: "The video was originally posted on the israeli government foreign ministry's Arabic twitter account and it seems like it was boosted by Edward Haïm Cohen Halala, who has reported ties to the israeli government, who has a popular social media presence with an Arabic following." using the three sources, daily beast for the foreign ministrys account being the source, newsweek for Edy Cohen boosting it and misbar for Edy Cohen having ties to the israeli government.Fanccr (talk) 10:15, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. See WP:ALJAZEERA. — kashmīrī ^TALK 00:16, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, I knew it was reliable but I was just questioning the input. 48JCL 00:17, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request - Euro-Med casualties figure

The referenced tweet to the number of casualties by the Euro-Med organization includes an infographic titled "Statistics on the Israeli Genocide in the Gaza Strip" which indirectly shows that only 3,889 Palestinian combatants have been killed. The real number is clearly much higher and this source clearly shows imaginated numbers to inflate the civilian casualties count and push the "genocide" narrative. 2A0D:6FC7:526:A2F:E5E1:9BE9:B4F1:F3C9 (talk) 23:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done, please reword as "change X to Y", providing a reliable source. — kashmīrī ^TALK 18:47, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DATA TO ADD

On May 8, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs published data showing that the number of identified deaths in the Gaza Strip - as of April 30 - is 24,686, while the number published by the Gaza Ministry of Health is 34,844.

For information: the OCHA numbers are sourced from the Ministry of Health of Gaza according to the footnote on the infographics. — kashmīrī ^TALK 18:50, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the chapter on offenses there is a reference to the assessment regarding the children who perished, half. The problem is that the figures published by the UN contradict this and it is 30%. Therefore it should be removed. https://www.ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-reported-impact-day-215

Not done for now: according to the footnote on the OCHA infographics, OCHA victim numbers are sourced from the Ministry of Health of Gaza. Please note the difference between confirmed and confirmed and identified. — kashmīrī ^TALK 11:13, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's also to be noted that different sources will give different statistics. No one is completely reliable. Linkin Prankster (talk) 14:32, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Unlike some mass media or Israeli-aligned NGOs, we can't proclaim "halving the number of killed" without knowing the details of the methodology used by the authorities there. We know that Palestinian authorities administer a population registry[1] – a concept not known in the US or UK. It will be safe to assume that an unidentified victim for the Palestinian authorities does not mean that the body wasn't that of a woman or of a child; it rather means that the victim could not be matched to an identity recorded in the registry. The total number of victims stays the same, as we see on the infographics, just a registry search yields much smaller numbers of ages and genders. It's likely that the remaining 10,000+ bodies will be matched to actual people, but it may require exhumations, DNA testing and, therefore, a longer perspective. — kashmīrī ^TALK 16:12, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
