You’re exactly like an antivaxxer. Ain’t nothing going to convince you to stop using bullshit.

Too far gone for sure

“Hey, there’s no evidence of that number.”

“Oh yeah. Well I’m still going to use it because it makes me feel good.”

But it’s not based on any evidence.

Truly barbaric.

Alright, that’s enough.

Index is allowed to comment in old threads, anyone is.

Well they were actually attacked from more than just Hamas, but it is Hamas that perpetrated the massacres. It doesn’t help that Hamas took hostages. If there were no hostage-taking, none of this would be as messy as it is.

In my personal armchair opinion, I think Israel should’ve waited before immediately going for the hostages to get some international support. But then again, that’s giving Hamas power.

Likewise the toll can be less than what it is currently. Your point has zero evidence, so stop saying that it’s 180k. It’s disingenuous.

Our only evidence is from the Hamas-run ministry, which says 40k. However, it’s unclear whether or not they include their own forces as civilians, or even how accurate it is, considering they regularly make mistakes.

I think you need to filter by user

The idea that there’s a good guy and a bad guy when it comes to war is stupid.

The fault is on both of them, really. Israel had plenty of warnings from Jordan, Egypt, the US, the EU and their own security agency about an attack in October.

Of course, there is always an attack, and Israel is also not allowed to stop an attack before it happens, instead only after it happens.

Don’t use anything non-peer-reviewed as evidence. It’s disingenuous.
