Like the 500 dead in the self inflicted hospital parking lot? Come on.
Hamas is a motivated and non-credible source for details.
Hamas has launched over 35 THOUSAND rockets over the years, which has barely killed 69 people, yet somehow now all of the sudden such a rocket fails and lands on a hospital and HUNDREDS die? Sure, so be it, but why would I even believe the IDF on this one? They haven’t even provided any kind of proof. They provided a video which many organizations have debunked as being completely unrelated to the hospital rocket. Hell, even the New York Times debunked that video, and they’re definitely west aligned.
That’s the point- 500 people didn’t die, it’s a made up number to grab headlines.
How many innocent Palestinians do you think have died since the 7th of October in general?
Who knows? I sure don’t. But I don’t believe 500 people died in a parking lot and I don’t take numbers from a motivated party at face value.
I sure hope the Hamas, IDF and the US fall under your “motivated party” definition too.
Y’all are bonkers if you equivocate the US and hamas. Legit they kidnapped, raped, murdered, than paraded the dead body of a young woman through the streets. This is the same group y’all go to for info?? Nuts man….
Do you have any idea about the US’s history? Did you forget their lie about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to invade them, and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians? This is just one lie we’re talking about.
The US has committed several war crimes, and killed millions of innocent civilians, they have killed waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than Hamas killed and will ever kill.
And the IDF and the US have lied countless times before. I’m not american, nor israeli, nor an arab. I don’t need to pick a side for info here. All three have lied countless times before. Anyway, last time I checked the US has caused hundreds of thousands of innocent deaths by using bullshit reasons such as “WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION”, yet you tell me I should trust them more than some terrorists that killed 1000 times less people. I don’t trust any of y’all.
If you’re american, I want you to know that your country shouldn’t be trusted at all with any kind of information. Your regime has caused countless deaths around the world. It has helped fascist dictators rise to power. Dictators that ended up killing hundreds of thousands of innocents. You don’t have to take this from me. Take it from your very own government. All of this is declassified information. https://web.archive.org/web/20090911173014/http://foia.state.gov/Reports/ChurchReport.asp
So again, get off your high horse here. Hamas is a shit terrorist organization, I won’t deny that. But I sure as hell am not dumb enough to believe your government on absolutely anything. Nor the IDF which has killed countless innocents before October 7th alone.
Do you think it’s thousands of innocent women and children, or less?
How to be correct while being wrong folks…
It is a made up number, by western media not Hamas.
Hamas never made that claim.
It was a doctor being interviewed by al-jazeera. Even then it was a mis-translation of what he said that western media just ran with and never fact checked.
Please stop spreading misinformation to serve as a way to delegitimize one side.
There are plenty of REAL facts you can use.
On the night of the explosion, the Hamas-run Gazan health ministry put the toll at 500 or more dead, which it later changed to “hundreds.”

Yeah that’s the “western media just running with it” part. It really was a mis-translation by al jazeera, the guy said “casualties”. As in wounded or killed. It was way too early to actually have an accurate assessment (as should be obvious by the round number).
I’ll repeat it here since you seem like you missed reading it.
Then like a dipshit you post me a link to a story by a western media outlet…
seriously…
A journalist for the Atlantic, New York magazine, Wired, and other outlets did a write up about it.

You can literally watch the video and translate it online.
Theres still zero hard evidence to support it was Islamic Jihad and not the IDF, but keep propagandizing. It doesnt matter how often israel lies you will take it at face value
