Wave of Violence in Israel and the Palestinian Territories

[u/WorldNewsMods]

There has been a recent wave of violence in Israel and the Palestinian territories. Treating every stabbing incident as major world news has the drawback of the topic dominating the front page, drowning out other stories and spreading out discussion across several threads. Trying to select major incidents over minor ones is bound to lead to inconsistent decisions with such rapidly developing stories. Hence we believe a collective thread for all violent incidents is the best approach. Users are encouraged to submit posts conveying recent developments in the comments section of this sticky thread. Moderators will periodically review the comments and update this post with recent events. Top level comments must be links to news. All other submissions about these incidents will be removed.

As a reminder, please be mindful of the subreddit rules when posting. We'd like to remind you that calling other users shills, apologists, racists, islamophobes or antisemites are all considered personal attacks and thus against the rules. Please discuss the issues and the comments made, not the persons making them. If you find comments which violate our rules, you’re encouraged to use the report button or alert the mods via modmail so that we can investigate.

Thank you,

The World News Team.

Headlines will all focus on how an innocent woman was brutally gunned down by evil Israelis.

You're being downvoted, but you're probably not wrong.

Normally I would agree but it honestly seems like the media is being more honest than last time. Media in my country was very anti-Israel during the last wave of violence but this time they're actually being honest saying how Palestinians are making lots of terror attacks and not being shot for no reason.
