Mackintosh, Eliza; Mezzofiore, Gianluca; Polglase, Katie; Goodwin, Allegra; Brown, Benjamin; Rebane, Teele; Oliver, Mark; Pettersson, Henrik; Manley, Byron (October 14, 2023). "How a rave celebrating life turned into a frenzied massacre". CNN. Retrieved October 14, 2023.

This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Stephen Harrison (October 26, 2023). "Wikipedia Is Covering the War in Israel and Gaza Better Than X". Slate. Retrieved October 31, 2023. For instance, the article about the Supernova Music Festival, where Hamas attacked and killed 260 Israeli civilians, states that the attack was conducted by Hamas "militants" rather than "terrorists," a decision that Wikipedia editors reached based on the site's guidance against contentious labels.

On 8 October 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to Supernova music festival massacre. The result of the discussion was not moved.

On 6 January 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to Nova music festival massacre. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Apache Helicopters and Hellfire Missiles[edit]

No mention of these being used at any time - not even as a "debunked" accusation. There's a shock.Ianbrettcooper (talk) 21:51, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would be nice if there was something more than “The investigation didn’t comment” on it. I’d like to see some sort of overview of that controversy. 2600:6C50:427F:CAFE:4437:7C7E:D180:F6FB (talk) 22:27, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We have notable media figures (https://x.com/ryangrim/status/1802786111724360124) commenting that Israel knew about the attack and did nothing (they actually reduced festival security). Censorship over corporate media is tight in America, but that should not be allowed to affect this site. We need a Hanibal section, because the comfortable view - there are things too evil for any human to do - is just flat wrong. Potato 888 (talk) 02:26, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hamas are a recognized terrorist group, not militants[edit]

Many countries recognize Hamas as a terror group, not militants. The were in charge of many bombings and murders of Jewish Israeli citizens. 46.199.50.5 (talk) 05:14, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The new word for terrorist in Wikipedia is "militant." I wonder what word Wikipedia will switch to when they can no longer use "militant". Maybe "peace-loving pacifists"?--DaringDonna (talk) 20:57, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

photo memorial site[edit]

Hello, I have a photo of the memorial site from May 2024. Can someone add it to the article? Best regards Zartesbitter (talk) 10:28, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zartesbitter It is easy for you to add your picture yourself. Just upload it following the simple instructions after you click https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard. Copy the File name, and insert it in an appropriate place in the article. I suggest you read up a little bit on adding photos to Wikipedia articles. Good luck.DaringDonna (talk) 21:04, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
