    God I love to see people centering the need for the liberation for the oppressed rather than any of the other shit, fucking well written statement.

    I don't like to see people centering. Left-aligned text is the only readable option (in LTR languages).

    I appreciate this but also it is missing a middle section about a 15 year old child being killed while trying to rush to help an aide worker. Muhammad Al Zinati and Sherif Lubbad respectively.

    Could be thousands of obituaries, but that can't be the middle of every comment on the subject

    I think they're saying that the full statement had that and this is not the full statement?

    Correct, I wasn’t trying to minimize or create any discourse. Just noted that I went to the source and read the statement again and noticed a portion missing. Instead of just pointing that out it felt more appropriate to give some more air time to the names that I did learn from the original source. They all are deserving of recognition and acknowledgement. I had no intention of speaking negatively of the user that graciously shared what they did nor minimize the countless other victims, just wanted to speak the names of those who were mentioned in a respectful way.
