News: Israel only catches or kills a dozen Hamas fighters but kills 8k citizen civilians with over 1k children under the rubble.
Bullshit.
The death of each Palestinian civilian is a tragedy. Hamas provoked the war, Hamas is killing as many of them as anybody. Israel is engaged in remarkably precise targeting of enemy combatants and places an entirely unprecedented effort into warning them when they're about to strike.
This is urban warfare. This is what Hamas called for.
The 8k number is confirmed by many organizations. The whole idea that the number is disputed comes from American politics.
It’s amazing that Israel is always the victim, yet never does anything wrong.
name one.
Here's a list: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/despite-bidens-doubts-humanitarian-agencies-consider-gaza-toll-reliable-2023-10-27/
I bolded them for you
Dan probably blocked you for that one.
Nah. Maybe he'll come to his senses? Or maybe the UN is antisemetic?
Oh dang, someone else got a memory too :)
You know this is propaganda right? That number never came from Hamas go find them quoting it as fact, I'll wait.
The number came from an interview with a doctor right after the attack and it was mistranslated on Aljazeera. Other news agencies never fact checked it and ran with the number attributing it to Hamas.
The number of casualities there was 471. 500 is an acceptable estimate.
(sorry, I don't know why I never posted this, I have way too many tabs open)
Well, let's see, where did the Telegraph get its 8,000 number from?
... gee, I didn't even have to dig one layer deep, the Telegraph itself tells you it's from Hamas. =/
Let's focus on the 500, though, who cites the number as a Hamas claim verified by literally nobody else?
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/19/world/middleeast/gaza-hospital-blast-deaths.html
And who else commented on the number?
the Al-shifa hospital director, who estimated it was half of that.
But Hamas just knew in less than 20 minutes, somehow, that it was 500.
Does the doctor work for Hamas?
Gee, I wonder how a Hamas employed doctor managed to count 500 dead bodies within 20 minutes. Israel is still trying to tally its dead, but Hamas managed to pronounce 500 people dead just in time to falsely accuse Israel of attacking the hospital on Al Jazeera?
I thought I blocked your genocide apologizing ass... well that's fixed now.
