    That plays both ways. If the data isn’t reliable why are people able to accuse Israel of genocide?

    You admit lack of reliable evidence. It’s very disturbing that accusations of genocide are being levied when there is a lack of evidence.

      That’s not actually true. I didn’t admit a lack of reliable evidence of genocide but just questioned how data collected in a war zone has such precise numbers when there are probably epistemological problems with determining numbers. I’m incredibly politically and historically ignorant on this conflict and would not, at my current level of knowledge, make a blanket conclusion about whether genocide can be concluded or not concluded based on reliable evidence.
