Still, @David A, hospitals are not a part of “cultural, religious and educational sites ↗“. TaBaZzz (talk) 07:57, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

:You seem to be correct. I checked and there is a preceding section that covers the attacks on hospitals. However, the references in question do seem to include mentioning it, so I am uncertain whether the word should be included or not. David A (talk) 08:13, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

Comment on language

I am worried that comments like this one ↗ could be interpreted as wp:battleground. I suggest you remove or reword your comment. (t · c ↗) '''<span style="color: #A81B00">buidhe</span>''' 06:39, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

Alleged extensive killings of the families of Palestinian journalists

Hi David A,

as discussed on the talk page ↗ I have added a section on '''the targeted killing of specific professions''' with some text on journalists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gaza_genocide&diff=prev&oldid=1333956358

Thanks for initiating this.

I think that we should add some text on the killing of medical people, and also educators in that section. Dualpendel (talk) 19:01, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

:Thank you very greatly for your help. I think that there is information about those types of killings in other Wikipedia pages concerning the horrible humanitarian disaster in Gaza. David A (talk) 19:11, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Your comment to me about Jewish background, the house of Rothschild, Epstein, and antisemitism

Hi David A, regarding your comment about the Rothschilds, I wanted to leave a sincere note. I just wanted to let you know that saying that unnecessarily in my view personalized the dispute and made me a bit uncomfortable, as did your comment that 'the tired old "antisemitism" pretext,' wasn't relevant to the conversation. I have no way of verifying if you are Jewish or not (it's a proper noun so capitalized in both American and UK English), and it isn't relevant, so no need to volunteer that aspect of your background when discussing whether it's due weight for sources to link Epstein to the historical Rothschild family. That is purely a sourcing issue and not about hateful conspiracy ideologies that claim the Jewish banking families control the world secretly, even though that is a subtext present. As to your dismissal of the antisemitism issue, as you may or may not know, it's on the rise and growing faster than any other type of hate crime according to statistics in most Western countries. Regardless of the proximate cause of that, it made me a bit uneasy to read your comment, because as you know there are Jews of all political persuasion and philosophical stripe. So it doesn't help or hurt your argument but it does personalize matters. Most people would agree that "as a Jew" or "I have some Jewish background" is a little like "My best friends are black" in terms of how inflammatory it is relative to how elucidative or probitive it is vis a vis the argument in question. Please humbly, I mildly request, consider not writing that.

:Well, my statement about my background is true, but after extensive personal spiritual experiences I am closest to being a Buddhist in my personal beliefs nowadays, as a mixture of that and Hinduism seems closest to how spirituality and the true nature of God actually works in real life.
:Regardless, I think that everybody, regardless of their cultural background, including myself, need to be held accountable for extreme crimes, especially those with financial or political power, including those in the absolutely corrupt and abusive Jeffrey Epstein sphere, and very strongly disagree with extreme far right totalitarian oligarchy and supremacist social Darwinism, and do not think that anybody who is genuinely guilty of evil acts should automatically be protected by claims of antisemitism ↗ or by any other group identity either for that matter.
:In addition, the extremely unfortunate rise of antisemitism that you mentioned is almost entirely caused by the genocidal acts of Benjamin Netanyahu ↗ and those who strongly ↗ support him ↗, as Netanyahu has systematically inaccurately conflated having a jewish cultural background with being a supremacist Zionist who supports everything he does, even though this is statistically mostly untrue outside of Israel (within Israel 94% of the population statistically supports the genocide according to the available reliable statistics linked above). So I agree with Jewish Voice for Peace ↗ in that regard. David A (talk) 03:01, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
:Also, I am not a conspiracy-theorist who thinks that the Rothschilds control the oligarchy. The world is far too complex for that. But they are certainly an old money part of the oligarchy, and if any of them have committed extreme crimes, they need to be held accountable for them, just like everybody else.
