In reply to the discussion: UN says Israeli tanks burst through gates of peacekeeper base [View all]Eko
(10,147 posts)36. 3 of those were Israeli media sites and the last one,, well,,,
It definitely has a very pro Israel bias.
Over the last two years, numerous political non-governmental organizations (NGOs) involved in anti-Israel advocacy and their UN allies have issued publications accusing Israel of apartheid. This offensive term is used to advance a narrative of unparalleled Israeli immorality, and to promote demonization through BDS and lawfare, including in the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Below is background information relating to the campaign and the NGOs involved, as well as articles and reports by NGO Monitor that debunk the apartheid demonization campaign.

That's not to say that they are right or wrong with that but that a unbiased news org would not do that.
We could go back and forth but I want to add one more. I don't know if you will believe this guy but who knows, maybe you will.
The U.S. government has cited the same figures that Hamas-controlled entities have provided to the U.N. During his March 7 State of the Union speech, President Biden said that more than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed most of whom are not Hamas. Biden did not provide a source for that number, but the White House later confirmed that it was based on the Gaza Ministry of Health numbers.
The U.S. government again relied on the same tally in early May in a public State Department memo about whether U.S. weapons are being used to violate international laws of war. The Hamas-controlled Gaza Ministry of Health is the primary source for these numbers, which international organizations generally deem credible, but do not differentiate between Hamas fighters and civilians, read the report.

Ya know what, I just want to end this. So I'll add this. In the 2014 Gaza conflict Israel states,
As discussed below, the IDFs preliminary analysis has determined that 2,125 Palestinians were killed during the 2014 Gaza

Its the last PDF on the right bottom.
What does the anti-Israel UNRWA say about that?
2,251 Palestinians were killed;

So we have President Biden, The US Government and even Israel itself saying that the numbers are reliable. Now and historically.

That was not "their own investigation" - your own source is quite clear about that

I guess Israel has the "right to defend herself" from the United Nations by gassing peacekeepers..
