Let’s be accurate here. Thousands have died in Gaza as a result of this conflict, but Israel clearly did not kill thousands at Shifa Hospital.
The IDF still needs to present receipts in my opinion, and I look forward to them doing so.
Nuanced discussion and compassion seem to get lost in all the “righteous” anger surrounding this topic unfortunately.

“Aren’t the exact same” is a huge understatement…
Why not let the students words speak for themselves? Wikipedia
Students list seven demands of the government.
1. Affirm Hu Yaobang’s views on democracy and freedom as correct.
2. Admit that the campaigns against spiritual pollution and bourgeois liberalization had been wrong.
3. Publish information on the income of state leaders and their family members.
4. Allow privately run newspapers and stop press censorship.
5. Increase funding for education and raise intellectuals’ pay.
6. End restrictions on demonstrations in Beijing.
7. Provide objective coverage of students in official media.
Relevant bit of information:
“Israeli army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner told CNN the hospital and compound were for Hamas "a central hub of their operations, perhaps even the beating heart and maybe even a centre of gravity."
The U.S. said on Tuesday that its own intelligence supported Israel's conclusions.”

In the meantime… I highly recommend people try out FreeTaxUSA (aka TaxHawk). They charge $15 to e-file both Federal and State taxes, with no upcharge for self employed people.
For TurboTax Home & Business it would be $190.

Anti-Defamation League (ADL)(excluding the Israel/Palestine conflict)
There is consensus that outside of the topic of the Israel/Palestine conflict, the ADL is a generally reliable source, including for topics related to hate groups and extremism in the U.S. There is no consensus that ADL must be attributed in all cases, but there is consensus that the labelling of organisations and individuals by the ADL (particularly as antisemitic) should be attributed. Some editors consider the ADL's opinion pieces not reliable, and that they should only be used with attribution. Note that the ADL's reliability on antisemitism and the reliability of its database of hate symbols is currently being discussed.
Anti-Defamation League (ADL)(Israel/Palestine conflict)
There is consensus that the ADL is a generally unreliable source for the Israel/Palestine conflict, owing to occasional misinformation favoring the Israeli government with respect to the conflict.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this was Putin’s doing. He has a history of committing violence against him own people and blaming others.
TLDR of Newsweek Article:
Fact Check: Did Israel Build Bunker Under Shifa Hospital?
The Ruling: True
Multiple sources have corroborated that a bunker or basement was built at Israel's discretion in the 1980s.
It remains unclear whether Hamas operates the space beneath the hospital as a major military headquarters, even though the IDF has presented evidence of weapons stashed in the hospital.
Not convicted = alleged.
Why do journalists use “allegedly” when they report on obvious crimes captured on video?

Edit: Confirmed that hostage is the terminology used by Hamas to describe their Israeli captives.
“Ezzedeen Al Qassam Brigades Military Wing of Hamas MovementMilitary Information Department”
“Therefore, we declare that any targeting of our defenceless civilians' homes without prior warnings will be met with the execution of an Israeli civilian hostage in our custody, and this event will be broadcast publicly“
Original comment: Maybe I’m just confused, but doesn’t Hamas themselves use the same terminology?

Mods removed the original post due to the article being updated and/or the statistics being “debunked,” so I am reposting with the updated headline and article. If you wish to view the original you can find an archive.org link here.
The English language version is self published and not translated. Hamas also has a number of members who are fluent English speakers.
Here are some options I use in my rotation.

Mojeek
Qwant (French)
Yandex (Russian)
Mullvad Leta (Mullvad VPN subscription required)
MetaGer (German meta search)
Startpage (Private Google results)
DuckDuckGo (Private Bing results)
SearXNG and similar self hosted options are awesome, but I’ve found them unreliable.
Be skeptical of Kagi… It’s promoted pretty heavily around here for something that’s not FOSS.

Haha, it’s no bot, just me manually adding it to my posts. Great idea for a bot though!
If the mod team was interested, I might try to hack something together.

If it’s not too traumatic for you, I’d recommend watching the body cam footage from the fork incident. It’s is pretty informative, and gives some context for what happened.
Installing VLC on your iPhone is probably the easiest solution. It should play the Opus files without any transcoding needed.

To be clear, I personally think a concrete basement and a bunker are two different things, but without more details it’s difficult to know what the reality is.
