Neutrality regarding contentious topics

edit

Donia Abu Mohsen's death was one of the main reasons for initial media coverage (both Western and Middle Eastern) and as such it is necessary to mention it in the Wikipedia page. Deeming it to be "pro-Hamas propaganda" indicates a bias and therefore, infringes on the neutrality of the article.

On the subject of Sharon Aloni Cuoni's statement, my edits were not intended to minimize her experiences in any way and I apologize if that was the impression given. The main reason was to show that the reports cited are based on her testimony rather than any official evidence. This is necessary as the Al-Aqsa Baptist Hospital explosion and the Rantisi Hospital calendar controversy caused a huge amount of debate online. Hence, I deemed it necessary to mention the source of these claims in order to avoid endorsing a specific narrative.

Thank you for your edits and feel free to provide any feedback on this thread. Saakibrahman (talk) 10:06, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
