    You’re using Al Jazeera as your verified source? The same Media operation that’s literally paid for by the same benefactor as Hamas? No bias there LMFAO.

      Technically the Gaza Health Ministry, for good reason. And no lol, I don’t exclusively use any news source. I always look for independent verification.

      “Everyone uses the figures from the Gaza Health Ministry because those are generally proven to be reliable,” said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch. “In the times in which we have done our own verification of numbers for particular strikes, I’m not aware of any time which there’s been some major discrepancy.” -WaPo

      Bias and credibility are two different things. Framing deaths as being killed by Israeli forces compared to simply dying has a difference of bias. On-the-ground reporting with independent verification compared to unsubstantiated claims is a difference of credibility
