    You think entire city blocks bombed and leveled to the ground, entire families just disappearing from existence is not enough to sympathize, so they need to fake the numbers?

      Who’s talking about sympathizing? I’m talking about joining them. It takes a bit more than sympathy for victims to become a terrorist.

        When someone bombs your home, your entire neighborhood, and kills your entire family, you don’t need someone to convince you to fight back.

            Everyone in Palestine has been suffering from Israel for literally decades. Nobody needs fake numbers to fight the oppressors.

      Sorry to be replying so late, (original poster of the post that generated all these comments here) but I think you’re missing the forest for the trees. You’re right that entire families disappearing probably will get more people to sympathise. That was my original point. Hamas wants innocent Palestinians dead just as much as Israel does. Whether they’ll fudge numbers to move that needle up or not is not really important at that point: some people just feel like in the face of that political reality, is it really so unlikely that they’ll do so?
