    Would that make it “fair,” in your mind? If he only mentioned the 800 or so civilian Israeli casualties from the October 7th attacks, instead of just mentioning the whole number without specifying that about 300 or so were IDF security forces? Or if he includes the IDF soldiers in the total then he must also mention the roughly 1,200 Palestinian fighters who were also killed? That’s what matters here?

      1. We still don’t know how many people were killed by Hamas because Israel still refuses to release the October 7 investigation. In this case attribute every single IDF kill to Hamas and all others to the Israeli government unless the opposite was proven. If Israel wants to hide facts we get to interpret them however we want.

      2. Yes dont put the IDF genocide troops in the mourning numbers???

      3. Your position is like demanding people commemorating the bombing of Dresden during Holocaust memorials because it’s unfair if they wouldn’t. (Not to compare the surgical precision the Palestinian resistance fought with did that day to the Dresden firebombings of course). Ideally Mamdani would only celebrate the resistance but since I’m such a nice guy I’ll condone him shutting up instead.

        Agence France-Presse cross-referenced numerous data sources to determine that 815 of 1,195 people killed on October 7 were civilians.

        If Mandani had said mourn 815 people instead of 1,195 people, he would have caught absolute hell. And for what?! To satisfy self righteous pedants like yourself? What in gods name is accomplished by that?

          Caught hell for not commemorating the genocidal terrorists? From you I guess lol.

          You still didn’t address Zohran straight up lying about Hamas being responsible for every death on oct7.
