If you were to look at the damage Israel has done to Gaza, I would be inclined to believe the higher figure. That wasn't an army looking at pin-point accuracy in its strikes to take out an opposing force, it was wholesale destruction of the civilian infrastructure - homes, shops, schools, hospitals.

 

Was? We're not yet in the past tense.

All "treated and cleaned" prior to installation apparently. Must have been an expensive process.

The death toll figures are compiled by the Gaza Health Ministry, ID cards and names cross referenced, they have been externally scrutinised by several UK,EU and US Aid agencies and found to be very accurate.

Hopefully you are aware that the Gaza health ministry is run by Hamas?  And as for aid agencies and universities (some of whom have also looked into casualty numbers) I would be more interested in objective assessments.  The entire educational establishment in the UK and US has a very definite partisan left leaning agenda.  And I have no idea why, but it seems everyone on the left sympathies with Palestine and dislikes Israel.
 

I would love to say I believe UNICEF or other bodies but I know the way left leaning organisations work.  In fact from memory I believe that another offshoot of the UN - the UNRWA actually employs hundreds of Hamas operatives.  
 

Sadly the world is full of propoganda dressed up as information.  Just look at the BBC!

here is more propaganda dressed up as information - what more could be expected from the Tehran Times? 

So the Israelis are trying to pass a law for death sentence for Palestinians who kill Israelis, but of course the clever Israelis don't include a balancing death penalty for Israelis who kill Palestinians.

So all the land stealing Israelis settlers can go on murdering Palestinians in the West Bank without fear of being executed.

This is Israel showing how to be the worst kind of human - what they are doing is apartheid.

I say the Arabs are driven to desperarate acts of terrorism by the bullying, murdering Israelis, flush with US cash and weapons - Israel are taking what international law says is not theirs.

The Guardian, sometimes critical of, but enemy of Israel, after the bullshit they printed after the October 7th attack,  don’t make me laugh. 
There is a a very well put together film/documentary surrounding the October 7th attacks, made by a well known and respected journalist called Richard Sanders.
I suggest you take a look, it’s probably on YouTube, although you probably won’t find the time, or will simply dismiss it as left wing twaddle, and you wouldn’t want anything to upset your Israeli love in now would you.
