(13,283 posts)But hell, you are so blatantly selective in your choice of unverifiable data to doubt!
How many times did you use the Hamas unverifiable data, never questioning the multitude of identically critical flaws in theirs? Frankly, I lost count.
Case in point: Hamas' claim of 100 dead in the strike, with the implicit presumption that they are all civilians, which you are taking for granted. Do you not consider it an equally critical flaw in their reporting?
What in the world justifies your unquestioned confidence in their numbers vs Hen's timeline? The two have equal standing in claiming to be accurate, so why do you only want proof of Hen's timeline? If you reject one, it is highly hypocritical yo accept the other.
In anticipation of your objections: I don't insist that Hen's timeline is accurate in its entirety. Certainly most of it is, and that is verifiable. In this respect, his tweet is far more accurate than the number of casualties reported by the Hamas health authority, which is unverifiable in its entirety. It is not an on or off switch, it is a dimmer: a matter of whose data sheds more light on the incident. Making an informed judgement based on the preponderance of evidence alone, Hen's beats Hamas' hands down.
