Well now that we have established that it is as censored as I believe because I have first hand experience, can we circle back to massacres and censoring said massacres are bad and not what we want in a social media service?

Dude, I literally ran a Firefox plugin at one time that gave me the "Great Firewall of China" experience. But just in case, I went over to Baidu and did a search and here's the official story you speak of (and the only one told in the search results): https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/opinion/2011-07/14/content_12898720.htm

The article does not address how many people were killed or even whether violence occurred.

I would call those results to be censorship.

Edit: I don't like the South Korean state either, but not more or less, just different. I'm not here to say which state is more morally justified than another, even when they're at end stage capitalism.

Again, the UN has looked at the numbers and found them to be reasonable. And we would have more numbers if the IDF didn't kill a record number of journalists (and their families).

If the discussion is about how a government that massacres its own people and censors even searches of it is bad, then no, rectifying that difference in number doesn't make the objection go away.

You don’t believe me?

What is it that I disbelieve exactly? You're here trying to convince others that a group of people don't value their lives as much as you do. I believe you when you say that you don't value groups of human lives equally, I just don't share that view.

Those who are immersed in islamist ideology think quite differently from people of christian heritage

I'll be honest, I didn't bother reading the rest of the wall of text after this. Enjoy your crusade and may you die as you have lived.

Not sure if you realized, but you moved from "Hamas's numbers can't be trusted" to "we can't trust any numbers because it's war".

Just know that this accusation you make is a confession of your views and you should investigate what that says about yourself on your own.

Deleting and banning those who discuss tienamen square is pretty damning IMHO.

If they aren't human shields then they're human bait. Or as my household calls it, a war crime going unpunished.

They bomb entire neighbourhoods to rubble as a distraction mechanism for their teams to go in.

Those human shields had it coming. /S or I guess they're human bait now?

The media isn't taking the numbers at face value, unless you're also making the claim of the UN and UNICEF because they use the same numbers. The fact is, given the wide destruction, the actual numbers are much worse. If you can't admit that last point then I assume you're not familiar with what percentage of homes have been destroyed or how many dead journalists and their families have been murdered.

Maybe the Palestinians themselves devalue their own lives compared to Israeli lives.

You should just stop right there. If your logic depends on saying "they actually don't value their lives as much as others" then please stop and ask "what the hell is wrong with yourself?". People who think like this probably value their life least of all. /s
