Hamas’ death toll figures are a sham – and now we have proof

"There is no dispute that Hamas brutally assaulted Israeli towns on October 7 – massacring hundreds of civilians in their homes, gunning down music festival attendees, kidnapping children, and starving hostages. Most recently, Hamas tortured and killed Uday Rabie, a Palestinian, simply for criticising them. It is widely acknowledged that Hamas uses human shields in Gaza.

Yet for many in the global media and NGO community, the idea that Hamas might manipulate Gaza’s death toll remains off-limits. On this issue, Hamas is treated not as a terrorist organisation, but as a trustworthy source.

The reason for this blind spot is simple: if Hamas’s narrative is taken at face value – that 50,000 Gazans have been killed, the majority of them women and children – then the charge that Israel is committing war crimes and must stop the fighting gains moral and legal traction."
