@freemo Did that 5,000 number come from #Hamas’ Ministry Of Health?

@realcaseyrollins You realize this has been the pattern **every** time this happens with israel... I showed yout he death toll in past conflicts... usually israel kills something like 10x to 15x the people of hamas every round, and most of them tend to be children due tot he indiscriminate nature of their attacks.

@freemo I realize that #Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields, yes

(Throwing some popcorn in the microwave for all the lurkers now btw)

@realcaseyrollins Yes we both know that both sides have a history of using children as human shields.

Here is the report from the UN itself by the way confirming the numbers:

@freemo Wait that doesn’t say what you said in your OP. I did know that the official toll crossed 5k, what surprised me was that you said the #IDF killed that many people within 24 hours, which isn’t even what this article says.

@realcaseyrollins Nevermind, I was qwrong. I just reread it and found it. It was 400 in the last 24 hours, 5000 since oct 7.

Ill delete my post and repost

@freemo 👍🏾👍🏾 Or an edit would be fine too, so that the thread isn’t broken

@realcaseyrollins They cite the specific sources for individual situational death tolls in the situation report. Most of them come from UN groups in the latest report at least.

@freemo Do those tolls tally up to 5k? I do think I the article it cites about 1.4k deaths of children, which is from a separate source, I think, good on them for doing that.

@realcaseyrollins There are a **lot** of those reports. I cant say I added them up myself. But the UN at least claims those reports as a source for those numbers, so I presume they did the math, I tend to trust the UN enough that they would not lie so outright.

@freemo Can you send me the link? It’s not in the article you shared.

@realcaseyrollins for the article or the situational report... I just closed it again but i can find you a situational report if you want.

@freemo The only thing I could find was this:

https://www.unrwa.org/resources/reports/unrwa-situation-report-12-gaza-strip-and-west-bank-including-east-jerusalem

But it doesn’t match your description at all.

@realcaseyrollins that is one of them. Notice it has phrases like "According to OCHA 91 Palestinians have been killed".. in that case OCHA is the group that did the reporting.
