The identified people include 169 babies born after the Hamas attacks of 7 October that began the war, and a man born in 1922 who had survived more than a century of war and upheaval. More than 100 pages are filled with the names of victims under 10 years old, and the first adult names do not appear until page 215.

Are you saying that when Hamas are caught lying it shouldn't be reported?

Were you also outraged when Hamas said 500 Palestians were killed by IDF bombing AlAhli hospital and all the media outlets reported this as fact but the responsible ones later apologized and reported that was a blatant Hamas lie?

Should we never correct stories when the facts come to light?

Similarly there were no children killed by Hamas during October 7 despite some crazy Israeli guy lying in his "eyewitness" report (later debunked). I'm sure you were happy to have that be corrected.

I am happy for all of the above to be corrected without having to frame it as justification for atrocities.

Yeah that's what I'm saying.

Not giving any time to blatantly bad faith arguments. You're being willingly obtuse and you know it.

As though that...justifies something?!

You started the bad faith argument. I was merely hoping you would self-reflect, and check yourself. Instead, you projected.
