Israel social security data reveals true picture of Oct 7 deaths, less than originally claimed
A more precise picture of Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel has emerged from social security data, confirming the unprecedented scale of the violence but also challenging some initial testimonies.
You're viewing a single thread.
The exact number is only really relevant for historical purposes. Especially on this scale. At some point, a catastrophe like this really does become a statistic.
Large attacks like these cannot go unpunished, so the response would’ve been the same no matter the figure. Heck, even if it was a hundred people killed, that’s not something Israel could or should ignore.
And certainly, between the chaos, trauma and condition of some of the bodies, it’s obviously going to take a while to pin down an exact figure anyway.
Is the way Israel has been treating Palestinians something they should've ignored? Or do you reckon that's why the attack occurred in the first place?
But let me guess, Hamas are terrorists and the IDF are well equipped soldiers so really Israel was just forced into this by evil people.
And before you reply with "I don't condone yadda yadda ya..", know that that's exactly what you're doing, that's exactly what the media is doing, by always forgetting about where this started, and always pointing to the reaction of the people that are being deprived of everything and slowly eradicated.
What you're insinuating here, if not bluntly stating it, is that Israel's hand was forced, validating their reaction, and in the same breath saying that before this attack, all was well.
You can no longer claim that "this is not the way to go about it" after flat out condoning and supporting Israel's reaction as it exposes your bias.
Exactly, and they're doing a fantastic job of punishing the children of Gaza, keep up the good work Israel! Soon there won't be any children left.
Wow, a sane take!? I'm surprised that this popped up between all the anti-israel propaganda here on Lemmy.
