I appear to have been blocked by number 1, assuming they didn’t just delete all their comments here, so I’m gonna post the reply I was typing to the last comment I saw It is not a “tangential claim.” You said the Gaza Health Ministry data has been proven wrong, that is central to your claim that it is Hamas propaganda that it’s a lie. I have read research verifying the Gaza’s Health Ministry’s numbers, every report I’ve read has said the names listed of those dead are accurate but an undercount

The largest western media outlets have uncritically parroted Hamas propaganda on a daily basis since the start of the war. What is your point?

In this comment you have replaced the words I said with the words you wanted to read. You don’t believe me because you haven’t been paying attention. How short your memory must be.

I see we’ve moved from “What examples do you have of them parroting Hamas propaganda” to just completely ignoring what I posted. This story went from “Israel killed 500 people in a hospital” to “Eh, some PIJ idiots accidentally launched a rocket that hit the hospital parking lot and blew up a car, no one died” by the time the sun came up. This article’s still up.

Also note the source for the headline: Gaza Health Ministry. Hamas. The same people who have been fudging numbers of casualties for two years and been caught lying in instance after instance. Somehow still a reliable source if you’re a western journalist.

Do you realize that a proper news outlet gets their information from multiple sources from all sides of any conflict? They’re just reporting news from the other side of the war. Can they not do that now?

Do you think it’s more important for a major western news outlet to report every piece of information that any number of dubious sources report to them, or to report verified facts?

I think they should report every side of the situation so people can make their own decisions. And you’re acting like the IDF doesn’t lie about shit constantly. They’re not a good source either

Well at least you’re willing to just bite that bullet and admit that you don’t care if major news media outlets report things that are untrue. I assume if they reported things that were untrue that didn’t conform to your bias you’d call it hasbara as if it’s a dirty word and try to doxx the journalists or something. Yes, correct! Everyone in the region lies. You should not believe anything that anyone says about it until confirmed by unbiased external sources.

True, but we can at least strive for media that endeavors not to report things that are untrue and which does basic verification and fact checking before publishing scandalous headlines, which is not what happens on either side of this conflict.

Please cite a source on your claim that the Gaza Health Ministry has been “caught lying.” Every single study I’ve seen trying to disprove Gaza Health Ministry data has found it’s lists to be largely accurate, researches went through segments of the lists of names and found every single one they checked had evidence independent of the health ministry including obituaries on social media by the families. Occasionally there is an estimate that is revised a few days later, but that is unavoidable

Fuck you, suck my dick. Not chasing down a source for every little tangential claim I make when you won’t even acknowledge the broader point.

Israeli media has reported that both international researchers and Israeli ones examining the Gaza Health Ministry data have found it’s to be the minimum count and that there are more dead than the health ministry reports
