Talk:Malaysia Airlines Flight 17

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 31 March 2024
This is a conspiracy theory by a Dutch scholar. Not 100 % sure about the relevance but if other editors should deem it as relevant, I would suggest adding the following paragraph to the bottom of the section Conspiracy theories. I would argue relevant because it comes from a scholar.

In 2018, Dutch political scientist Kees van der Pijl published the book Flight MH17, Ukraine and the New Cold War, in which he blamed Ukraine and the West for shooting down MH17 and used according to scholar Taras Kuzio in a review of the book "conspiracy theories taken from Russian information warfare and social media, such as Russia Today, to promote his claim that MH17 was brought down by a Ukrainian-Western conspiracy".

The International Court of Justice at The Hague did not rule that Russia was responsible
On January 31, 2024, the International Court of Justice in The Hague refused to rule that Russia was responsible for shooting down MH-17. Robert Parry has been posthumously vindicated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:600:A481:8E20:8DB3:F53B:F94F:60E5 (talk) 20:22, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

10 year marked by flying flags at half mast.
this photo was made by me today. It shows the national flag at half mast at the offices of the municipality of Delft to mark 10 years of MH17 being shot down. I'm not sure where/if it should be fitted into the article. 1Veertje (talk) 17:28, 17 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @1Veertje Nice pic. Yes you can put it in the Legacy section. Alexysun (talk) 22:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Can we definitively say it was fired by pro-Russian seperatists?
This article keeps beating around the bush saying the missile was fired from separatist-controlled land, etc. Why not definitively say that it was fired by pro-Russian seperatists who got a little bit trigger happy and were itching to fire at something and test out their newly received device?

 * It could have been fired by the Russian army soldiers. Ymblanter (talk) 08:32, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Given that this is a sophisticated piece of equipment, which came with its own trained crew, it almost certainly was 'fired' by 'Russian army soldiers'. Whoever may have been giving orders or deciding targets. Pincrete (talk) 09:40, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
