According to whom?
@HoraceGreenley Did you see the link to the article in the post?
Shaveit · 61-69, M
@HoraceGreenley hamas and the media
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
@Shaveit The very pro-Israeli media, right.

@Shaveit lol Business Insider is now a Hamas outlet?

Dang, being right wing is literally synonymous with stupidity.

@Ozymandiaz
I don't have access to the article. I suspect this is an estimate from Hamas. That would not be trust worthy.

@CountScrofula pro-Hamad medis

@HoraceGreenley I repeat, because you seem to not have the cognitive ability to read a prior post.

Do you really think that Business Insider is Pro-Hamas?
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@basilfawlty89
What prior post?

I made no implications about Business Insider.
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
@HoraceGreenley You should maybe comment on the media linked in this post then because otherwise what the hell are you doing here lol
@HoraceGreenley Why would you doubt the figures considering that Israel always ends up agreeing with them.

@Ozymandiaz Some people (brighter than this guy but still wrong) doubt all official figures from the Gaza health ministry because it is 'a Hamas source.'

Hamas does run what nominally passes for a state in Gaza but the health ministry doesn't have a political function. It has leaders and staff who include NGO people and others who were there before Hamas took power.

The main thing is that it's death toll figures have a consistent history of being proven right. More often than not, they slightly understate things because there are a lot of missing people who are probably dead, buried under buildings.

@Ozymandiaz @Burnley123 i didn't trust Iran or Irag with their reports either.
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@HoraceGreenley no, instead you trusted Bush. Tell me if you ever find Saddam's stash of WDMs.

@basilfawlty89
Again, you put words in my mouth. i never said that. Someday, you'll make an argument without fabrication.

But I'm not holding my breath.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@HoraceGreenley Did you vote for Bush?

Yes or no?
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@HoraceGreenley someday you'll make an argument relevant to a post that actually includes reading the article provided...

But I'm not holding my breath.

@basilfawlty89 Someday hell will freeze over.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@basilfawlty89 When i include articles, they don't get read because they don't fit the narrative that the other person on the other side of the arguments wants
I've given up
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@HoraceGreenley Did you vote for Bush?
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@Burnley123 You are the primary culprit. I offered extensive references on how climate change is not real and you said you would not read any of them.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@Burnley123 Yes, I voted for Bush
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@HoraceGreenley wtf does climate change have to do with Hamas?

This isn't a podium for your random arse stream of consciousness, try to stick to the topic at hand.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@basilfawlty89 Nothing. i was making a point about the fact that I provide references, and those that are opposed to my views choose not to read them. They don't read them because the referenced materials don't support their views.

And before you say it, no I am not talking about sources that you would consider conservative. I'm talking about universities, nonprofit organizations and government reports.

Perhaps you need to work you your reading comprehension. A little practice is in order.
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@HoraceGreenley I've provided stats from universities, research journals and npos that are peer viewed.

Your usual response is too poo poo it and then post a stupid meme are gif. Do you understand why you're considered the village idiot of SW?
