    The correct way to to cite it would be: ‘OHCHR has confirmed the killings at Al Awdabuilding […].’

    Its simply wrong to not do it. Especially cutting of the sentence at a ‘,’.

    And the last time a crime against humanity was still under investigation – where it was obvious that a rocket hit a hospital, but the exact circumstances where still unclear – it was later confirmed that Hamas hit the hospital.

      OP 100% correctly cited the article. The quote ended there IN THE ARTICLE he was quoting from.

      So maybe the article should have included that extra bit. However, my point is you’re being a complete asshole and were wrong in your first post that accused him of altering the quote. You keep doubling down and moving the goalpost as to why you attacked him in the first place. Now, you’ve decided that he should have done more research.

      The kinder, more conversational behavior would have been along the lines of “Sorry I accused you of changing the quote, which you didn’t do. I was wrong. However, that quote sucks because…” And he might have said “oh damn, good catch. I still disagree though because…” And we could talk and not be shitty.

        I mean at this point, these people basically want the whole report quoted in the article 🤣
