Honest question: Do we believe the Palestinian Heath Department reports of 20,000 deaths?

Seems like a big number, but I’m not there to confirm one way or another. It’s just no agency is trustworthy anymore.

Is anyone asking about the details behind that number.

How many were Hamas combatants?

How many were assisting Hamas?

How many were civilian non-combatant non-collaborator?

How many were killed by Hamas friendly fire?

Hamas terrorists on motor scooters and powered gliders took out 1400 people in a day, so 20,000 total is plausible.

If Hamas pulls an 'Oct. 7' here it'll be more than 20K dying in the aftermath.

No. I don't believe much that comes out of their mouths.

It's their duty to lie to the infidels. It's in the Quran.

From independent reports, it appears the death toll is awful, regardless of the precise number.

Palestinian health dept? That is a riot. Sort of like the Tijuana food and drug administration.

Whatever their number is, add it to the deaths in Israel from the massacre and call it “Deaths Hamas is responsible for”

There's a lot of children getting blownt up and that's something I'd like more effort to be taken to avoid whether its in Gaza, Israel, Syria, Yemen, Ukraine, Russia, China, etc.

Yes, Oct 7th was unacceptable and there's basically no real solution to the problem, but its not a license to just do whatever you want, or at least it wouldn't be if it were any other Western democracy.

Blind obedience to Israel is bizarre from people that are constantly getting played by them. Unless of course you're happy with Biden's cabinet, Epstein, Blackrock, NBC, Disney, NY Times, Pfizer, Zelensky, Trump judges, Guiliani Judge, etc. I guess they're just that crafty.

No.

I’m sure it’s a lot, thousands.

But not 20K.

If you consider the population density of Gaza and have paid any attention to the level of destruction 20k casualties is completely believable.

Given Hamas has penchant for using human shields and the amount of ordinance the IDF has brought to bear on that relatively small area 20k does not seem unusually high. When you consider how Hamas has morphed since being voted into power it amplifies the tragic loss of civilian life however it is a tragedy of their own making even if everyone didn't make the choice and many more thought they were making a different choice. If you put a country and a people into an existential crisis you can't expect a kinder gentler ROE especially when the terrorists stand behind you.
