Israeli Military Found Gaza Health Ministry Death Toll Was Accurate. Will These Deniers Admit It?

[Drunk]

Israeli Military Admits Gaza Health Ministry Death Toll Was Accurate, Leaving Deniers to Regroup.

For years, the Israeli military has dismissed as Hamas propaganda the death tolls kept by the Gaza Health Ministry in the besieged territory, a claim that human rights advocates, medical journals, and the United Nations have repeatedly debunked.

The ministry's data on Palestinian casualties was deemed accurate by the Israeli military after months of review. This news comes at a time when the health ministry periodically releases the names and identifying information of those killed in Gaza.

Critics point out that it was the Ministry of Health itself that established this practice in 2018, as part of an effort to document civilian casualties more accurately in order to aid accountability efforts. The shift came as part of a move towards greater transparency amid mounting international pressure on Israel to provide accurate numbers.

Israel has argued in the past that its actions are justified in self-defense, and by claiming that it has not been responsible for thousands of Palestinian casualties, the military sought to avoid taking responsibility for any deaths or injuries caused by its operations. This stance can be seen as a cynical attempt to deflect criticism and conceal the truth about Israel's impact on civilians.

Many human rights groups have pointed out this practice of denying the accuracy of health ministry data as an obstacle to transparency and accountability in Gaza, allowing Israel to avoid taking responsibility for any damage it may have caused. The fact that such claims are often repeated by pro-Israel pundits and media outlets further emphasizes the extent to which Israel has sought to distort public opinion on its actions in Gaza.

Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of DAWN human rights group stated: "The Biden administration, Congress, and U.S. media played along with Israel’s lies and deception about the horrific death toll in Gaza — over 80 percent civilians; over half, women and children — so that they could gaslight Americans into continued support for Israel."

The Israeli military's admission that the health ministry's data on casualties is accurate marks a significant shift in its stance. However, it remains to be seen whether this change of heart will translate into greater transparency or accountability from Israel.

Critics argue that even this shift does not mean an end to the distortion and manipulation of facts about the situation in Gaza. In order for real progress to occur, those responsible for any harm caused by Israel's actions must be held accountable.

In the face of mounting evidence of human rights abuses, it is crucial that individuals, organizations, and governments around the world take a stand against attempts to distort or manipulate information on such issues. By supporting independent media outlets, promoting transparency, and advocating for accountability, we can work towards creating a more just and equitable world for all.

The shift in Israeli military's stance may be seen as an opportunity to rethink its actions in Gaza, but it also highlights the ongoing challenge of holding those in power accountable for their actions.

this whole thing is like, so deep... Israel's been trying to control the narrative on Gaza for years, and now that they've admitted the health ministry's numbers were right all along, what does that even mean? it just goes back to how powerful propaganda can be in shaping public opinion. like, we're still living in a world where the truth is subjective, and who gets to decide what's true?

i think about this a lot when i'm scrolling through my feeds, seeing all these pro-Israel posts and tweets... it's like, where do you draw the line between support for Israel and actual care for human lives? how many of us are just blindly following the narrative because we don't know any better?

anyway, the fact that this shift in Israeli military's stance is being framed as a "significant shift" feels like it's just whitewashing the real issues at hand. like, what about all those people who've been affected by Israel's actions for years? don't they deserve accountability and transparency now more than ever?

i guess what i'm saying is that this whole situation is like a big puzzle with missing pieces... but if we keep pushing for truth and accountability, maybe we can start to see the bigger picture.

this is huge news... think about it... if the health ministry's data was correct all along and Israel just finally admitted it... what does that say about how much the gov has been lying to us? i mean, we've known for years that there's been a discrepancy in the death tolls reported by the Israelis vs those reported by the health ministry... so this is basically an admission of guilt

and now that they're admitting it was accurate, what's gonna happen next? are they gonna start releasing more info on their military operations and how many civilians got hurt in Gaza? or are they just gonna keep on claiming they were in self-defense and not really taking responsibility for anything?

i think this is a big deal because it shows that even the Israeli military can't hide from the truth forever... but at the same time, it's also super frustrating because we've been waiting for years for them to be honest about what's really going on in Gaza. i mean, where was the world while Israel was lying to us?

anyway, this is definitely a turning point and i'm hoping that it leads to more transparency and accountability from Israel... but we gotta keep pushing for it because if they just stop at admitting it was accurate... that's basically just whitewashing the whole thing .

this is super important news! finally some transparency from the israeli military, i mean it's about time they admitted that the gaza health ministry was right all along . what really gets me though is how long they tried to deny it and how much effort they put into gaslighting the world . i'm glad that human rights groups like dawn are holding israel accountable, but we can't just rest on our laurels here . there's still so much work to be done in terms of promoting transparency and accountability. maybe this shift will lead to some real change? only time will tell . what do you guys think?

 

[Impossibl]

So the Israeli military is finally admitting that they were wrong about the death toll in Gaza... It's been a long time coming, I guess. They've been saying that Hamas was exaggerating the number of casualties and all this time, the health ministry has been keeping track of it all. But what really gets me is how Israel tried to avoid taking responsibility for their actions. Like, they said they were in self-defense, but if you look at the numbers, most of those casualties are civilians... It's not like they're trying to save lives or anything.

It's also interesting that the human rights groups have been saying this all along, and now that Israel has admitted it too, we can finally start to see some progress. But let's be real, for this to actually change, people in power need to be held accountable... I mean, if everyone just continues to turn a blind eye, nothing will ever get better. We need to keep pushing for transparency and accountability, even when it's hard.

lolol what took them so long?? i mean come on 80% civvies get killed by israel and they still tryna deny it lololol like whats next? anywayz its about time tho, gotta keep the truth out there

 

[Talented Tapir]

so what does this mean? basically the israeli army is saying they messed up with all the numbers on ppl killed in gaza and now they're admitting it was real. it's kinda like them finally acknowledging that their own propaganda machine wasn't working anymore but honestly, this just goes to show how long it took for them to come around.

i mean, human rights groups have been saying this stuff for years and now they're finally admitting it but meanwhile ppl are still dying in gaza without any real change happening. what's the point of even having a truth if you're not gonna do anything about it?

 

[Zealous]

Ugh I'm so over how the forum always gets it wrong . I mean, come on guys, a simple "Israeli Military Admits Gaza Health Ministry Death Toll Was Accurate" headline is enough to bring up all these conspiracy theories and Israel hating comments. Can't we just focus on the facts for once?

And honestly, who cares about the Israeli military's stance on this? What I care about is how our forum moderators are always too scared to take down pro-Israel troll accounts that spread misinformation. It's like they're more concerned with keeping the peace than actually promoting accurate information .

And then there's the way this news gets buried under a sea of "Israel is a terrible country" and "Zionist propaganda". I'm not saying Israel isn't guilty of some serious human rights abuses, but can we please have a nuanced discussion about it?

I swear, every time something like this happens, our forum is flooded with people who are more interested in playing the victim than actually engaging in a respectful conversation. It's exhausting .

 

[Xerothermic]

its about time israel admits the truth theyve been lying to us for years over the casualties in gaza and now its finally come to light how many people have died because of israels actions i feel so sorry for the palestinian families who have lost loved ones this admission is a step in the right direction but lets see if israel actually changes its ways

 

[War of the Rainbow]

i dont think is a good thing that israel admitted that gazas death toll was accurate, now they can just blame hamas for everything

 

[Yucky Yacare]

This is like what happens when you try to hide something and everyone keeps coming back with the truth . The Israeli military was all about trying to discredit the Health Ministry's numbers, just like they do in politics , but now that it's been proven wrong, they're just backing down . It shows that even the most powerful can be brought down by facts and evidence .

We've seen this play out before with politicians who try to spin their own scandals, only for the truth to come out eventually . The real question now is what's going to change? Will they start being more transparent about their actions in Gaza, or are we just seeing a PR stunt to save face ?

It's also interesting that human rights groups like DAWN have been calling out Israel for this deception from the very beginning . It just goes to show that not everyone is buying what they're selling, and when you've got the truth on your side, nothing can stop it .

 

[Telekinetic Shark Confli]

This is a big deal ... finally some acknowledgment from Israel about the death toll in Gaza. It's been like they're playing dumb for years and denying all claims. Now that they've admitted it, what's next? I'm skeptical though, will this change lead to real accountability or just more spin? The fact that they only did this after months of pressure from human rights groups and the UN is also a bit concerning . It's like they're trying to salvage face rather than take actual responsibility for their actions. I hope the international community keeps pushing for transparency, but it's clear there's still a long way to go
