>> I want to contrast this with other sources of numbers

2008 war: The ministry reported 1,440 Palestinians killed; the UN reported 1,385.

2014 war: The ministry reported 2,310 Palestinians killed; the UN reported 2,251.

2021 war: The ministry reported 260 Palestinians killed; the UN reported 256.

I'd say Hamas numbers have been reliable based on past conflicts. So, I don't know why you're dismissing them.

>> Given that context, the IDF for sure can still lie, but most likely they will eventually be found out.

Tell me more about the accountability and the cost of those lies and crimes by the IDF. How many IDF soldiers rot in prison for the crimes they committed and the crimes that have been documented by HRW? It's zero.

Even when the crimes are fully recorded, they get a handful of months and a commuted sentence.
