    Not sure if you realized, but you moved from “Hamas’s numbers can’t be trusted” to “we can’t trust any numbers because it’s war”.

      Both statements can coexist without any contradiction. If no numbers can be trusted (due to loggistical concerns I cited in my previous comment), how can Hammas be so sure of the numbers it gives to the press? Not only would Hammas’ numbers be innacurate if they were acting in good faith, but they’d be outright fake in case of bad faith on their part (most likely scenario).

        Again, the UN has looked at the numbers and found them to be reasonable. And we would have more numbers if the IDF didn’t kill a record number of journalists (and their families).
