Mark Regev, an adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, informed MSNBC host Joy Reid that the reported death toll in Gaza cannot be taken at face value.
Advertisement His response came after Reid pressed him to explain the 18,000 deaths the Gaza Health Ministry has reported since Israel began its response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack, which killed more than 1,200 Israelis.
"How has causing that much death and destruction, 80 percent of those dead estimated to be women and children, how does that achieve the goal of eradicating Hamas?" she wondered.
Regev began by thanking Reid for having him on, given how critical she has been of Israel’s actions. He then explained that causing harm to civilians in Gaza is not Israel’s goal, but that Israel refuses to abandon its mission of eliminating Hamas. The Israeli people, he continued, “refuse to live next to a terror enclave” and so ending Hamas’ rule of Gaza is of utmost importance.
"Joy, can I urge you please to be a little bit circumspect of those numbers. They are put out by the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health in Gaza. And therefore, you have to presume that Hamas has reasons for playing with the numbers," Regev said. "You know that they were very cruel, they have no qualms whatsoever about killing people, innocent civilians, we saw that on Oct. 7. You can presume also they have no qualms about killing the truth.”

Facts don’t matter to progressives.
Hey,she was a straight A student!
Reality is just a minor irritant to the media, which largely disregards it.
It went in one ear and out the other quickly
Well, there is certainly nothing to interfere with that passage.
If these airheads are going to take Hamas at its word, he should invite them to read the Hamas charter out loud and in full, on air.
“...8,000 deaths the Gaza...”
SHOW ME THE GRAVES!
18,000 deaths..
200% of them kids.. and 125% more were women
and 0% men
So the pro-terrorist crowd claims 18,000 dead, - 80% of them women and children. So for lets say 1/3 of the 80K are children. So….doing the math, that would be 4,800 dead kids.
Does anyone believe for an instant that if this was true the hammies wouldn’t display hundreds and hundreds of bodies for the idiot “journalists” to drool over?

Joy Reid has the brains of a piss ant, and that insults a piss ant.
