Israel accepts health authorities’ Gaza death toll is broadly accurate, saying 70,000 have died
Israeli military’s U-turn in accepting official figures comes after years of attacking data as ‘Hamas propaganda’

Israel for a long time said it was hamas propaganda and now admit it wasnt. Wouldnt that have made what Israel did as propaganda and lying to you? If they have lied to you about that what else could they lie about? And what do you think about a country that would lie about how many people they have killed? I would think that would be one of the worst things a country could do. Kill civilians and then lie about it. For years.
