the great march of return was in 2018 - 2019. the idf committed some brutal war crimes against the protestors. watch this video if you'd like to learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnZSaKYmP2s

i shared the answer to expose the bias of chatgpt. it interjected "including hamas" into the answer and said there were "fatalities on both sides".

I really know nothing about this conflict, but when I check the source for that youtube video I find it is put together by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abby_Martin

If you're looking for objective facts, this might not be it.

Why do you say that?

She started as a "inside job" 9/11 truther, then worked at RT for a few years, and is now actively covering Palestine from an explicitly pro-Palestinian point of view.

She also works on the "Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions" anti-Israel movement.

Maybe she has valuable footage or a valuable viewpoint or just an opinion you're curious about, and that's fine. Just know what you're getting.

> it interjected "including hamas" into the answer and said there were "fatalities on both sides".

Are either of these statements false?

Wikipedia cites the Jerusalem Post saying that there was one fatality, and the Human Rights Council saying there were zero, on the Israel side. The same HRC report[1] reports 183 fatalities. This is a case where there is a broad gulf between "truth" and "not false." And I'm inclined to think that "fatalities," plural, was a one-sided affair.

Thanks for the answer! Appreciate it. I didn't catch the use of "including Hamas" until you mentioned it either.
