I never said 30,000? That was Hamas.

 

Yes I thought you might round up Israeli lives. What's a few hundred here or there to you........

The Hamas numbers for casulties have proven to be quite acurate in the past.  Do you think the number of Palestinian deaths is less than or more than Israeli deaths ?

 

I rounded both numbers DOWN   for simplicity.

But this is not the past, Hamas have admitted themselves that a third of their numbers are from unverified sources and of course they also lump in the 14,000 estimated Hamas fighters that have been killed in with their totals

   UN seemingly halves estimate of Gazan women, children killed

 

On May 8, the UN published data showing 34,844 people had reportedly been killed, including 4,959 women and 7,797 children.

If genocide is the death of 1000 poeple...then what is the displacement of millions and deaths of 30,000 poeple ?

Seems it is the opinion of a few posters on here that Palestinians are not actually human beings, so it doesn't matter how many of them get killed. I suspect that's the opinion of a few of netanyahu's cabal as well.

So you admit that it is genocide against Israel.

Now the next point.

When the 'Palestinians' aka Hamas invaded. There was no warning. No options.

Israel has given plenty of warnings for the people in Gaza to leave.

Bur they either choose not to or the other 'Palestinians' will not let them.

By the way, I wonder why that other neighbour called Egypt doesn't let the people from Gaza into their country.

Maybe because the Egyptians know that they are terrorists?

The Palestinians live on their own land, yet you think they should go live somewhere else. That's a very strange attitude to have. It's almost like you think they have no right to live on their own land and should give it to someone else while going to live as a refugee in a different country.

 

Is that what you are saying?

I should correct myself and say that the Palestinian authority ( not Hamas)  casualty figures have been mostly accurate in the past if anything they have underestimated the figures as many of the dead are buried under rubble or unmarked graves.

   The U.N is sticking to Hamas's figures .

The *Ministry of health in Gaza* are Hamas .

The U.N is ignoring and new revised figures and sticking with the Hamas figures , even though those Hamas figures have been shown to be impossible and  Incorrect .

   The U.N are supporting Hamas

Well then  why not just tell me which figures you believe ?   like pulling teeth  but as you just said you do not believe Hamas figures, 

Palestinian health authority figures ?

UN figures ?

IDF figures  ?????? 

 

and again I am not trolling just asking you a simple question

Both the UN and US officials have previously appraised the figures from the Ministry of Health in Gaza as credible

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/13/middleeast/death-toll-gaza-fatalities-un-intl-latam/index.html

USAID also provided input to the memo. "The killing of nearly 32,000 people, of which the GOI (Government of Israel) itself assesses roughly two-thirds are civilian, may well amount to a violation of the international humanitarian law requirement," USAID officials wrote in the submission.

USAID does not comment on leaked documents, a USAID spokesperson said.

The poster you quoted needs to catch up on the latest news himself. The UN has stated that the death toll of Palestinians is indeed in the 30,000 + number. There was a misrepresentation of what the UN said, by the israeli sycophants.

The poster he quoted and who you are too ignorant to talk to directly knows full well that the figures quoted by the UN are unverified and from Hamas who themselves admitted over 10,000 are from media sources but wont say which ones. The same Hamas who admitted that the number of women and children totals are wrong by around half.

Figures from Hamas and as the UN says:

 

“The United Nations’ teams in Gaza are unable to independently verify those figures given the prevailing situation on the ground and the sheer volume of fatalities,” an Ocha spokesperson, Jens Laerke, said. “It is for this reason that all figures used by the UN clearly cite the health ministry in Gaza as the source. The UN will verify these figures to the extent possible when conditions permit.”

The Israeli embassy in the UK told us they think the total number of Hamas fighters killed is "between 10,000 and 12,000".

But they said it was hard to distinguish between civilians and combatants as many of them are not wearing military uniform and Hamas also has fighters who are aged 16 and 17.

BBC Verify has repeatedly asked the IDF for the detail of its methodology for counting Hamas fighter deaths but they have not responded.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68387864

It seems that IDF figures haven't been independently verified so those figures should be taken with a pinch of salt

That was in Feb the same month that Hamas admitted 6,000 of their fighters were killed by the IDF. 

 

What's that got to do with the UN's disclaimers on the Hamas reported figures of civilian deaths?
