To be honest, I don’t really know who to trust at this point. They both have done/are doing horrible things and innocents are suffering. But I 1000% also believe all parties involved would/do lie to serve their ends.
Let’s just assume that Israel isn’t lying. They’re telling us that taking out one Hamas official is worth nearly two hundred innocent lives in collateral damage. Best case scenario, they’re still monsters.
Fair point.
Human rights orgs say they have trust in Gaza health ministry numbers. It’s safe to trust that, I would say. We have no reason or indication to doubt the numbers and they seem consistent with the amount of destruction we are seeing.
Don’t trust either of them. They’re both belligerent. They’re going to lie the further their goals.
Seems the only thing they can agree on are that civilians are dying
Hamas is actually quite trustworthy with their numbers if you look purely at history. The israelis are the ones that lie everything together.
