• Israeli media cite official accepting Hamas figure of 70,000 war dead

    After so long trying to discredit the reliability of the figures
    provided by the Hamas-run Government in Gaza over the number of
    victims of IsraelrCOs attacks, the IDF now seems to be coming round to accepting those figures as credible -- as if they were ever seriously
    in doubt <https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgpd1x00exo>.

    The UN and other independent groups had always taken those Hamas
    numbers seriously; it was only Israel that kept insisting that they
    were somehow wrong -- yet never presenting any evidence in the form of
    its own figures, or why its opinion might be more believable.

    You're just a lying cunt. The question is how many of those killed
    were civilians, and even the UN admitted that the Hamas lied through
    their teeth on that.

    Even the UN admitted that the numbers coming from Hamas don't mean jack shit ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.cfr.org/blog/un-halves-its-estimate-women-and-children-killed-gaza

    UN Halves Its Estimate of Women and Children Killed in Gaza
    Between May 6 and May 8, the UN cut in half its estimates of the number of women and
    children killed in Gaza. The estimates were based on Hamas numbers and are a reminder
    that all fatality estimates coming from that source are unreliable.

    Apparently not. Even the Times of Israel is quoting the Hamas figure
    now (see link from the above article).

    Not sure why that particular little range of dates is so significant
    to you. You just seem to be using it as an excuse to ignore the
    enormity of what Israel has done.

    It's because you can't bloody read.

    The dates refer NOT to the number allegedly killed in that range,
    but to the dates of two UN reports about losses so far.

    Learn to open links, learn to read.

    ItrCOs quite clear that the UN and other organizations currently accept HamasrCO figures as credible. As mentioned, even the Times of Israel is
    quoting HamasrCO figures now.

    Not good enough for you? Still in denial?
