Demonstrating how skewed HN really is...
The fact that my post above gets down voted (despite it being easily verifiable, and actively reported on by multiple news agencies), while your comment isn't, which essentially amounts to:
* don't check it out via international media
* red cross are anti-jew liars
* its not true, because "trust me, bro"
* if you don't "trust me", you're antisemitic, blood libeling, etc yawn etc
Fwiw, I flagged his post because it's really disgusting and a violation of site guidelines (and basic human decency).

But 2 can play this game:
* Wow that tweet got so many likes and retweets it must be true, trust me bro.
* red cross? You said red crescent. Why don't you verify the facts? It's easy to do.
* If you don't "trust me" you are a genocidal Zionist lying pig, yawn etc
