Still waiting for that video to be independently verified. So far, no major corporate news network ran that video since they are unable to verify it.

and btw, the UN minisrty of health is getting their numbers from Hamas, so I guess if you trust Hamas, it is what it is

I do trust Hamas for the number of dead. They literally have a proven track record of keeping an accurate count that was independently verified after past Israeli crimes. After the Hamas attack, Israel let people in to independently verify the number of killed, yet they prevent the same for when they kill. Why?

And it's ironic that a random video gets more coverage than children getting murdered on mass. All the Israel supporters are clinging to this video like it's some vindication and justification for the genocide being committed. It's not. If you care more about being right than children being brutally murdered, you are the problem in this world.

Admittedly the UN does say it's likely one of their warehouses, but crucially it's abandoned. Hamas only came in after the UN left, which is very much not the implication Israel and Zionist media are trying to make.

Oh, I see, just like they were honest when they said Israel blew up a hospital, and they raided another hospital and put like 300 people in a mass grave huh? Right...kick rocks
