    Here’s a clue who’s lying. It’s the ones who claim that 500 peoole were killed, that’s a preposterous figure that Zionist haters lapped up.

    The problem is that the Israeli state has done preposterously malicious things in the past. But in this case, Hamas was trying to pull a fast one, and they honestly played a blinder.

    People will remember the outrage and disgust they felt, despite the later retraction.

      I haven’t seen a reputable source yet claim that the deaths weren’t in the hundreds, and none lower than 300. That’s still an enormous loss of civilian life and not meaningfully distinct from 500, IMO. I do have to go outside sometimes, meaning that I’m not getting second by second updates, so if you have a reputable source to meaningfully dispute the death count, I’d be happy to consider it.
