    When someone asks for a source, and then OP’s reply does not have a link in it, I ignore everything OP says.

    Do you have a source for those numbers?

      From the AJ live tracker you can get that in Gaza 28,775 people have been killed, including more than: 12,300 children, and 8,400 women. 68,552 have been injured, including at least: 8,663 children and 6,327 women. With more than 7000 still missing. He’s either assuming all the Men killed, ~8,075 are Hamas or that some of the 12,300 children killed were Hamas.

      Instead of analyzing why violent resistance to apartheid has been happening since like 1988 and advocating for an end to the occupation, it seems he’d rather justify these deaths.

        You’re using Al Jazeera as your verified source? The same Media operation that’s literally paid for by the same benefactor as Hamas? No bias there LMFAO.

          Technically the Gaza Health Ministry, for good reason. And no lol, I don’t exclusively use any news source. I always look for independent verification.

          “Everyone uses the figures from the Gaza Health Ministry because those are generally proven to be reliable,” said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch. “In the times in which we have done our own verification of numbers for particular strikes, I’m not aware of any time which there’s been some major discrepancy.” -WaPo

          Bias and credibility are two different things. Framing deaths as being killed by Israeli forces compared to simply dying has a difference of bias. On-the-ground reporting with independent verification compared to unsubstantiated claims is a difference of credibility
