In reply to the discussion: Israel pushes Gaza death toll to 46,000 as US boosts truce efforts [View all]AloeVera
(2,152 posts)59. Would you prefer that the dead not be reported?
Shoved into mass graves perhaps? Left on the streets to be eaten by dogs? Bulldozed under? Left to die unspeakable deaths in the cold and dark under rubble? Just forgotten?
Those things are happening too.
But some make it to hospitals, morgues, ambulances, their bodies witnessed by would-be rescuers.
Perhaps they should just shut their eyes and pretend they didn't see the bodies of the dead? Because you know, they happen to be government workers and the GOVERNMENT is fucking Hamas? So that makes them all suspect, prone to lying and exaggeration to gain sympathy, right?
You forget that we all have eyes too. We saw it all too.

It's the media, not Israel. Based on what Hamas is telling them, not independent sources.

UN quotes Hamas government in Gaza using their numbers. Nope, I need more than the Hamas elected government.
