Got it, you prefer not to be informed. Hamas-Run Gaza Health Ministry Admits to Flaws in Casualty Data “The sudden shifts in the ministry’s reporting methods suggest it is scrambling to prevent exposure of its shoddy work. For months, U.S. media have taken for granted that the ministry’s top-line figure for casualties was reliable enough to include in daily updates on the war. Even President Biden has cited its numbers. Now we’re seeing that a third or more of the ministry’s data may be incomplete at best — and fictional at worst.” — David Adesnik, Senior Fellow and Director of Research https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/04/09/hamas-run-gaza-health-ministry-admits-to-flaws-in-casualty-data/ Israel-Hamas war: Gaza's morgue network has effectively collapsed - how are they recording their dead? Of the 21,703 identified fatalities whose details have been shared by the Hamas-run health ministry, 13,207 were women, children or elderly (61%). Until recently, however, the ministry had been reporting a figure of 72%. Mr al Wahaidi told Sky News that this was a "media estimate". He was not able to explain the basis for this estimate or who had produced it. https://news.sky.com/story/israel-hamas-war-health-system-collapse-in-gaza-leaves-authorities-struggling-to-count-the-dead-13107279 Hamas’s Casualty Numbers Games As Israeli troops batter Hamas and drive its surviving forces to the southern edge of the Gaza Strip, the Gaza Health Ministry has etched in the public mind a statistic that casts Israel’s war of self-defense as a bloodbath: 70% of the dead in Gaza are women and children, the Hamas-run ministry says, and more than 30,000 lives in total have been lost. Is it true? Yet in a series of lengthy reports, the ministry admits that the figures the media treat as authoritative rely in part on reporting from . . . the media. The ministry says its casualty counts include two types of fatalities: those recorded by medical facilities and those reported by “reliable media sources.” In its March 31 report, the ministry attributes 15,070 of the dead, or 45.9%, to news reports. From which outlets? The ministry never says. https://www.wsj.com/articles/hamass-numbers-games-civilian-death-counts-casualty-data-b99140eb https://archive.ph/JYQFg Hamas document reveals it hides casualties, blames failed rocket launches on Israel - IDF “These documents clearly show that terrorist organizations in Gaza are cooperating to hide the extent of the destruction and killing caused by failed launches that fall on the residents, while making an effort to protect Hamas terrorists, overlooking the danger to civilians,” said Adraee in his statement. Lastly, Hamas reports were exposed featuring names of Gazan casualties as a result of failed launches, which were then recycled by Hamas in their outward reports of casualties, alleging they stemmed from Israeli airstrikes. In other words, Hamas counted casualties from PIJ failed rockets as casualties from Israeli attacks, proving yet again the lack of accuracy of their propaganda reporting. https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-794610

One of the little pups that Fetterman is taking about, yes that's a Hamas headscarf. Unfortunately there's lots of them. Iran and Yemen are loving this! https://twitter.com/visegrad24/status/1785077896534503759 -

Why? You make state that Israel is committing genocide, the International Court of Justice does not agree, the US does not agree, I think they know the definition. It is up to you to provide evidence. -

Silly question, because you need evidence to make wild claims, that evidence needs to be investigated and presented before a court. -

5 individual incidents. All in West Bank and all before Oct 7th "Four of these units have effectively remediated these violations, which is what we expect partners to do," Patel said. In the case of a fifth unit, Washington has not yet determined whether there has been sufficient remediation and was still in discussions with Israel, he said. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-found-five-israeli-military-units-committed-gross-human-rights-violations-2024-04-29/ https://archive.ph/XfT3E -

The ball is in Hamas's court yet again. Why aren't the protestors shouting for this. Blinken says he hopes Hamas takes ‘extraordinarily generous’ truce offer, hostage deal, makes ‘right decision’ RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says he is hopeful Hamas would accept an “extraordinarily generous” offer to halt Israel’s offensive in Gaza in return for the release of hostages. “Hamas has before it a proposal that is extraordinarily, extraordinarily generous on the part of Israel,” Blinken says in Riyadh at the World Economic Forum. “They have to decide — and they have to decide quickly,” Blinken says. “I’m hopeful that they will make the right decision.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/blinken-says-he-hopes-hamas-takes-extraordinarily-generous-truce-offer-makes-right-decision/ -
