"About 72 per cent of fatalities aged 13-55 are men, which is the rough age range of Hamas combatants, Mr Fox said. “We know that Hamas uses child soldiers, and these statistics show clearly that Israel is targeting fighting-aged men.”
According to the Henry Jackson Society who’s entry in Wikipedia says: While describing itself as non-partisan, its outlook has been described variously as right-wing, neoliberal, and neo-conservative
Russia lies about the total number of casualties, Ukraine lies about them, Israel lies about them and it’s safe to assume Hamas lies about them too.
Well I knew Hamas lied about the Al Ahli hospital attack near the start of the war. Said there were 500 killed by an Israel bomb but footage came from Gaza the next day of a few obliterated parked cars but with no damage to the hospital. I did hear there were about 20 people camping nearby though who were unfortunately killed.
The night of the incident Al Jazeera happened to live stream rocket attacks by PIJ (Palestinian Intifada Jihad) on Israel showing one of them misfiring to boomerang and land in the hospital vicinity.
Hamas didn’t even need to fake footage of hospital damage, Western media took their word for it. BBC was one of the very few who issued a retraction a few days later but I found all the above myself online and I am a nobody so why were they so loose with investigating and thereby inflaming tensions?
Am a leftie but lost friends by pointing the above out. I knew then that facts from either side would not matter much from here on - isn’t that why Trump was voted in? Facts mean little now to most people unfortunately when emotion is involved.
