2. The Israeli government also revised down their death toll from October 7th.

   I don’t recall anyone accusing them of “manipulating” death toll figures.

3. This seems an especially stupid accusation. If the MoH is deliberately inflating the death toll, why remove names from it? If they are lying, why isn’t it up in the 100,000+ range or higher by now?

   Looking at all the rubble, the mass destruction, the bombings, are we really going to pretend that Israel isn’t mass murdering people with glee? Is that 60,000+ dead is an unreasonably high figure?

   Looking at all the reports of kill zones and mass murder sprees so far, isn’t it reasonable to assume that a large number of bodies haven’t even been counted yet? They’ve been buried in shallow graves by their IDF murderers, and many bodies won’t be found for years or decades, if ever.

   Stop giving known liars like the IDF and Honest Reporting airtime. Start demanding that the IDF provide its official estimate of how many Hamas members or civilians have died, and their names. I think you’ll find that the figures are much higher than the Gazan MoH’s is.
