I am almost afraid to ask, but what the hell is “flour massacre”
Israel opened fire on people waiting for food from aid trucks, killing over 100 and injuring over 700.

Christ.
At the end of the day, even Tiananmen Square turned out to just be projection.
Look up the 228 incident if you want to see exactly what it was projection of
Flour massacre: How Gaza food killings unfolded, and Israel’s story changed
≥112 palestinians were killed following the IDF opening fire into a food aid line
Based off their record, I’d imagine they started out by denying all responsibility, then backpedaling that they may have had some responsibility, and then basically admitting it was their fault while using the most “officer related shooting” style language imaginable.
Don't forget "we feared for our lives" like the pigs in America say after blasting an unarmed POC.
Any connection?
The IDF train us cops, so a pretty direct connection.
Between cops in the US and Israeli occupiers?
Yeah, when news was first coming out the reports were of Nabulsi Square, so I went to look that up but made a typo.. instead of Google just correcting the typo with one letter - sending me to the relevant Al Jazeera article about the Nabulsi Square killings (as it was initially called) - I got a result for Tiananmen Square:
Even if it gets corrected to 'Naval Square', Tiananmen is still the first thing to come up. You can type any spelling variation of Nabulsi in and it'll show you Tiananmen. Naval and Nabsli/Nabulsi is closer to the Nisour Square Massacre than anything - committed by US mercernaries in Iraq, but it doesn't get suggested.
I know it's probably not hardcoded to prefer Tiananmen, but it does show how algorithms reproduce already existing biases because 'Xi Pooh Tiananmen' rhetoric is so mind numbingly popular.
Palestine says that Israelis killed Palestinians, while Israel says it killed some Palestinians while directly causing the conditions for the rest to be killed. Who could say who is right.
even then it's still their fault
Jesus.
