Deception

Thirdly, the article contains selective reporting by focusing on Israeli forces opening fire on a crowd of people waiting for humanitarian aid while ignoring other events happening in Gaza such as rocket attacks against Israel. Fourthly, there is no link provided to any peer-reviewed studies or scientific evidence to support claims made about the situation in Gaza. Lastly, the article contains emotional manipulation by stating that tensions are rising and a diplomatic scramble is taking place without providing any context or perspective on why this might be happening.
