I would reword the slaughter part to stress children/babies. This point needs to be driven home to show who they really are.

cracking open champagne, and declaring victory.
Do we care that Muslims don't drink champagne?
Alternatively, you may want to leave it in the piece and be snarky about it.

Something like cracking open champagne. Well, maybe not, that would be sinful, (immoral, or any other adjective) now wouldn't' it?

Would it diminish the seriousness of your point?

1. That's old. 2. It's not the same, because Trump has also shared thoughts.

Israeli high-tech sector registered some wins today in getting companies to pull out of Web Summit after CEO revealed his antisemitic colors (I've heard in the past that Ireland is one of the most antisemitic countries in the EU).

They are hoping to increase efforts tomorrow and get one of the big dogs (AWS and/or Intel) to pull out.

.....AND..... Intel pulled out!

10-50 deaths at the hospital, according to European intelligence and AFP reporter witness.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/european-intelligence-source-tells-afp-a-maximum-of-50-killed-in-gaza-hospital/


Quote
CNN cited a US assessment that estimates 100-300 people were killed in the blast.

AFP correspondents saw dozens of bodies at the scene, with medics and civilians recovering bodies wrapped in white cloth, blankets or black plastic bags.

What is CNN's source? What is the estimate (very wide range) based on?

This is a hospital. Hospitals have morgues. Easy to pull out bodies for a Pallywood production. And if they are all "wrapped in white cloth, blankets or black plastic bags." how do we even know if these are human corpses? Pallywood productions has been known to use dolls.
