🧵Critical Thread. Close review of Gaza casualty figures reported by UN OCHA based on daily Hamas “Ministry of Health” numbers proves they are FALSIFIED. Women & children are grossly inflated. This is easily proven but media ignores. See detailed expose below: 1/

Common response: Do you really expect Hamas to follow the rules of war? No of course not, they’re pure evil. But I can expect UN, NGOs, media, politicians etc. to admit the scale of the human shield strategy and place blame on HAMAS for civilian harm in Gaza.

➡️A note about Hamas' human shield strategy: Many civilians in Gaza have tragically died, but the primary blame lies with Hamas, whose systematic use of human shields ensures those deaths occur. In recent debates, I’ve been struck by how persistently people refuse to fully grasp…

If Israel truly targeted civilians, Hamas wouldn’t hide among them and dress its fighters as women. Disguising combatants as civilians delays the IDF and increases civilian deaths. If Hamas wore uniforms as required by laws of war, Gaza’s civilian death toll would be far lower.

🚨The Gaza fatality count has become central to international discourse. Check out my new piece posted on @TimesofIsrael that examines the battle over the numbers and the latest agenda-driven push to argue Hamas' numbers are even TOO LOW by 40% and more. blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-war-over-g…

🧵Those defending Hamas’ fatality numbers as accurate often falsely claim that: (1) Israel considers them accurate (2) Hamas has been reliable in past conflicts. Israel’s FM and many others have officially stated that Hamas numbers are "manipulated" and "not accurate." 1/2
