23. I wonder...

If Hamas quietly removed all these names, did they then quietly add in other names to make up the difference? Did they pull these names out of a hat? If so, why isn't Honest Reporting reporting on that travesty?

Because you see the number of total deaths didn't decrease by that amount.

Pondering these questions I moseyed over to Honest Reporting's website and to my amazement could find no mention of this "research" let alone a report. Very odd.

I sure would like to see that spreadsheet mentioned in the article. The pdf file from the Hamas-run Health Ministry is 1500 pages. I can't comprehend such a long list of dead people. Translating it to reality I mean.

The other odd thing is that 13-year olds would be categorized as "men". Or even 17-year olds for that matter. The universally accepted definition of a child is a human being under 18 years of age.

Are Palestinians not considered human beings? Or their kids not considered kids after the age of 12 and thus legit targets? Seems to me that is the narrative being pushed here.

HonestReporting is an advocacy group, not a journalistic or reporting group, fwiw. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2 #5

It's also a promoter of nationalistic propaganda. Violet_Crumble Apr 2 #9

I believe the point of the OP is that Hamas has no credibility, not Hamas suddenly becoming credible. Beastly Boy Apr 3 #11

All the more reason to believe my outrage and anger are real and not "performative" - no? AloeVera Apr 3 #43

No. In fact, your post explicitly confirms the bias in your outrage and its disingenuous nature. Beastly Boy Apr 4 #44

Good question. If you can't confirm or deny what Hamas is reporting at any given moment, Beastly Boy Apr 3 #32

It's not Hamas that categorized them as "men". AloeVera Apr 3 #37

You don't say! Beastly Boy Apr 3 #39

Of course "men" are categorized by Hamas. AloeVera Apr 3 #41

Where are those numbers? They don't agree with the UN numbers muriel_volestrangler Apr 3 #36

Will "Honest Reporting" do that? AloeVera Apr 3 #38

Naturally. And I have my doubts if that is accurate. The civilian death toll is likely much less. Oopsie Daisy Apr 3 #42
