    Do we actually know the truth or are we just blindly believing terrorist media spins because we hate Israel?

        I didn’t question the edits themselves, that happens all the time in media. But the first statements seem to been made by word released from hamas, and that’s “facts” and numbers you cannot trust inherently by the fact that they’re a terrorist organization. What I’m questioning is the entire meme format that seems to just been here to push an anti Israel agenda. I don’t mind shitting on Israel for shit they do, but that does not mean I’m going to just eat up hamas propaganda. Memes like this are a huge part in foreign propaganda to discredit western news sources.

          By June 19, 2024, 37,396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip since the attack by Hamas and the Israeli invasion in October, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, as reported by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.

      Because we hate Israel? No. Because it’s precisely the kind of thing Israel does all the time? Yeah, pretty much. If Hamas tells your fire is hot, are you not gonna believe them?

        Nice logical fallacy. Are you saying if Israel claims something hamas does all the time it is automatically true as well?

          Would you don’t be if I said I ate breakfast today? When people claim something happened that happens all the time, it’s common to believe them, yes. That’s common sense, not a fallacy.

            But that’s exactly not what is happening. lol Anything that Israel claims is being dismissed as false, anything that hamas is saying is being taking at face value. That’s the base level here.
