Well I only like to absorb facts after I feel there is enough evidence there to warrant it. What I was doing though was responding to another poster when you interjected. He claimed 15,000 children were killed. He was adamant on these figures. I in turn produced opposing figures.
As for taking figures as facts, untrue (again, you really need to stop this) I take no figures as facts as there is no credible evidence from either side although I certainly edge credibility more on the IDF than I do on Hamas.
3 months ago Hamas themselves claimed 6,000 fighters of theirs had been killed. I "think" its a lot more and I believe the IDF has a closer figure in that 12,000 they quoted a month ago. As when following the Russia Ukraine war, my credibility goes first with the side I am supporting, Ukraine and the reports they produce. I am more than aware they are not always 100% correct. As is the same for the IDF.
