This is the article in question, as you can see from the url structure it has the original headline. The article has been continually updated since press yesterday (including three hours ago) and appears to have changed a few times according to others / records at archive.org.
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.
The numbers supplied by Hamas have been pretty accurate in the past, according to multiple UN investigations. There’s simply no reason for them to exaggerate the numbers, since they are already atrocious enough.
BTW: back in December, the IDF itself released reports saying that about two thirds of the dead are civilians/not Hamas.
You can spin it like you want, what Israel is doing over there is not okay. Simple as that.
Even if true (citation needed, not that I’d trust the defunct UN anyway with China & Russia sitting on the table), that would still not give credibility to hamas or the narrative the meme tries to push.
You first doubted Hamas, when I mentioned, that the UN agreed generally, you say, the UN is also not a good source, without any proof of that.
The fact about the IDF was completely dropped by you, because it doesn’t fit your bill.
BTW: do you have any Israeli sources? If Israel would doubt Hamas’ numbers, they might issue their own reports. But they don’t. Well that’s weird, isn’t it? But the IDF probably is also just an anti Israel agent.
So me replying to your point about the UN is somehow moving the goalpost? That would mean that you moved the goalpost. lol
And Russia & China being on it is proof enough, it made the UN defunct since forever. But I guess hamas sympathizers would not see it that way since you’re likely think positively of those countries too.
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.

You’re moving goal posts.
lol, no. I’m literally iterating on the point I’m trying to make here. You’re just proving my initial point of eating up hamas propaganda.
Nope.
You first doubted Hamas, when I mentioned, that the UN agreed generally, you say, the UN is also not a good source, without any proof of that.

So, you think that the United Nations should not include two of the largest and most powerful nations in the world?
