So, not a huge fan of posting this site in particular given that it appears to be state-run and therefore liable to lie, but this did happen. Footage of the school’s state was confirmed several times and a Norwegian org said about 170 students were present at the time, which isn’t counting adults, making the now-current death toll of ~165 more than plausible despite a thus-far lack of independent confirmation.
Any headline that misuses the word “martyr” raises red flags for me anyway. They didn’t die to further a cause. They died because a bunch of terrible people decided to kill innocent, uninvolved civilians.
To be fair, they actually used the verb form of martyr, which means “to put to death for adhering to a belief, faith, or profession”, and I am fairly certain that Israel and the US absolutely are killing these people in (large) part for being Muslim.
In other words, the verb basically reverses the role of whose intention applies; whereas the noun means the person dying intends to do so for their beliefs, the verb means the killer is doing it because of the victim’s beliefs.
What in the English language?
Thanks for clarifying that.
