    I don’t care what Hamas says or admits. Reliable news sources have repeatedly reported that IDF is killing an unreasonably high number of innocent Palestinian civilians, relative to the number of Hamas soldiers that they kill.

      Reliable news sources that simply take the Palestinian Authority at their word.

        Because their local correspondents have been killed by Israel. Look it up, Israel has been responsible for the vast majority of journalists’ deaths last year, in only three months.

        Extremely dishonest to leave out the fact that all numbers provided by Gaza’s Ministry of Health has consistently matched very closely with Israel’s death counts in the past, and Israel just happens to have completely blocked access to Gaza for outside agencies to do independent counts.

        Wow, isn’t that convenient! Guess there’s no choice other than to assume the thousands of children blown to pieces are lies made up to make it harder for Israel to defend itself by flattening over 70% of homes in Gaza, along with reporters and refugee camps.

        You can literally see Gaza City leveled on satellite maps, very few buildings are left standing. Even if Isreal hadn’t killed a Single civilian, tens to hundreds of thousands would eventually die of exposure because they have nowhere else to go, their homes have been destroyed (Egypt isn’t willing to take Gazan refugees and it seems like neither is anyone else in the area).

        The infrastructural damage alone is enough to indirectly kill 10s of thousands minimum in the long run. And of course Isreal has been striking civilians, so the total scale of the civilian life lost will be much larger than that.
