6. Good Lord. You doubt a list of dead complete with ID numbers?

Every one on the list of dead is identified by name, age and ID number. In fact, experts are saying it is a vast undercount BECAUSE only the dead taken to hospitals and FULLY identified are being recorded. Some have suggested the real count is at least 3 times higher.

Not counted are the tens of thousands still under rubble, or bulldozed under by the Israeli bulldozer contractors, those sniped/ shelled/droned on the street and buried on the spot (if lucky) because most local hospitals are closed or are located in active war zones. .. And those that died in their tents from starvation or preventable or contagious diseases due to lack of medical care, clean water, far from operating hospitals.

Can you think about the scale of senseless but deliberately-inflicted human suffering - all enabled by that vile and abominable "human shields" bullshit?

We can see that it was all bullshit. Cynical, exploitative, and very convenient to cover the real aim, which was always the expansion of Israel using massacres and ethnic cleansing. Just like in the Nakba
