And by "correct" data, you mean data that comes from Hamas and is politically tinged, rather than data that comes from the numerous non-aligned/independent sources?

Don't think what you're doing isn't transparent to anyone who has spent even a modicum of time becoming informed on the topic.

>anyone who has spent even a modicum of time becoming informed on the topic

WHO, UN and other entities furthest away from being "politically tinged" consider the numbers "credible", "accurate", "reliable". I guarantee you what you are doing is very clear also, parroting literal propaganda points. And it's awful to see discussions on specific numbers numbers when any single loss of life is tragic.

>New York-based Human Rights Watch also says the casualty figures have generally been reliable, and that it has not found big discrepancies in its verification of past strikes on Gaza.

>"Those numbers are in line with what one might expect, given what we're seeing on the ground through testimony, through satellite imagery and otherwise," he told Reuters.

The photos and videos of 3500 dead Palestinian children speak for themselves.

Anyone who is interested in the truth and “has spent even a modicum of time” would condemn the killing of innocent children and demand an end to their continued killing and suffering.

There have been so, SO many Syrian conflict videos passed off as Gaza recently. There are also legitimate videos of terrible events occurring in Gaza.

All I ask is that people apply some scrutiny to the sources and don't trust that just because something went viral on Twitter with a caption saying it's from Gaza, that it is. There are incredible numbers of bad-faith grifters who thanks to Elon now have a monetary incentive to spread bullshit for "engagement" and a lot of if has gone viral with millions of views despite being verifiably false with a simple reverse image search.
