(3,944 posts)Are you seriously questioning that thousands of children have been killed? Please look at pictures of the physical destruction in Gaza. Find out how dropping thousands of JDAMS and unguided 2000 lb. dumb bombs is going to impact a highly populated area.
And no, Israel did not show all the bodies. Perhaps their names, though I believe not a full list last time I looked.
Did you know that in the previous wars on Gaza, Hamas reported casualties then too? Their numbers were later determined to be pretty accurate. But I venture to say that their numbers now are under-counts, if anything. Why? First, because they don't include those buried under the rubble and now dead. About a month ago or more, that stood at 7,000. Also, with the forced closing of most hospitals, there is not only nowhere to take the dead (and the unfortunate injured), those hospitals are no longer reporting the death toll. Then there is the communications black-out which also impacts reporting. There could be thousands killed in the North in the last few weeks and we wouldn't know and neither do the remaining hospitals or Hamas.
