From what little you’ve given me to work with, since you expect me to take Wikipedia’s framing at face value and refuse to offer any other source, the only thing “prominent” about it is that antisemites have decided to exploit her death to convince naive western liberals that Israel is bad.

It wouldn’t be a war zone if Hamas hadn’t decided to launch a pogrom.

If I were a fascist I’d be supporting Hamas. The allegation is rich, though, considering your claim that “Jewish sources” can’t be trusted.

You didn’t say “Israeli sources”, or even “Zionist sources”. You said that “Jewish sources” in general are incapable of being objective about Israel. And you balked when I asked you to explain that, presumably because you realized that was some antisemitic bullshit. If I said that “Muslim sources” couldn’t be trusted to be unbiased about Israel (which I do not believe) I’m sure you’d have plenty to say about it.
