and should be verifiable by public record.

As to why they did it could be opinion but logic would dictate they're not doing because they're infatuated with Israeli government policies in regards to Gaza and proud of what they saw.

How much of the reality of Gaza, and/or the plight of the Palestinians does Israeli T.V. show?

Netanyahu doesn't allow the international press into Gaza for a reason and it isn't because he's concerned about their safety.

28 suicides not 900. Mosby Aug 18 #8

My mistake, I read the total number of killed as suicides, however if you google it the number is 50-54, and Uncle Joe Aug 18 #10

If it is so easy to Google would you please provide a link. sheshe2 Aug 18 #14

I corrected it with the post that you're responding to. "My mistake" etc. Uncle Joe Aug 18 #15

Yet, no correction on the original post that people are recommending as fact. sheshe2 Aug 18 #16

There is nothing written in the OP or the video that you are able to cite as being incorrect. Furthermore Uncle Joe Aug 18 #17

I am talking about posts 6-9 sheshe2 Aug 18 #18

Again post 10 was the correction. Uncle Joe Aug 18 #19
