71. I am not saying that it is untrue. What I am saying is none of us mortals know whether it is true

or not. You just can not trust any information issued by either entity when is comes to propaganda. You can see the same thing in the Russia/Ukraine war. I am 100% behind Ukraine, but I do not believe all of their official "news." As far as Russia, I will go as far as saying that I believe next to nothing about what they put out.

If a person does not think that Israel or Hamas would lie in order to advance their cause, then they just don't understand how war or politics work.

In 50 years, you can expect to know about half the truth.
