(22,836 posts)that accuses Israel of anything improper. You counted the number who questioned this claim but how many accept it as fact without proof. If you really wanted to dig in, cross reference those who accept this but doubted the claims of Israeli victims of sexual assault.
As for the Red Cross/Red Crescent, I have to say my general statement may not be entirely accurate- they themselves are less likely to adjust numbers, but it must be taken into account where they are getting the numbers from. Hamas severely limited access of the Red Cross, including not allowing them access to the captives they held, so the numbers provided by the Red Cross will be based on those provided by Gaza authorities, i.e. Hamas.
Are they accurate- I don't know, maybe they are, maybe they are inflated, maybe they are underreported.
Whatever the number is, it is too high. As is the number of Israeli deaths on October 7. Ideally both should be none.
