    It’s wild you just take those officials’ claims as truth when they’re contradicted by others right there in the article:

    A Palestinian witness told the BBC most of those who died had been run over as lorry drivers tried to move forward.

      I didn’t take any of them as truth, because we don’t know. We do know Israel lies, frequently and blatantly, so believing them over other sources is dumb.

          The person I was replying to before you jumped in for some reason apparently without reading the context.

          I read just now on the BBC that most of the casualties were due not to gunfire

            Well it’s actually because I read the context that made me jump in to ask the question

            That poster also said

            if what the Beeb say is true, then

            And linked an article that has different angles on these killings. I didn’t see any suggestion where he said any of the cited sources were right or wrong

              The Beeb didn’t say “most of the casualties were due no to gunfire”. They didn’t say any particular side was true. The OP just chose one side and ignored the other. They’re not trusting BBC, I don’t think any of us think the BBC is making up quotes, they’re selecting trusting a specific source among multiple relayed by BBC.

                The OP was saying: “let’s also consider the other side instead of just the one before we jump to conclusions”

                By the way, if you see the aerial footage it’s very unlikely that most of the 100 casualties would not be from the trucks running over the crowd
