The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) recently reiterated what anyone paying attention already knows: the casualty figures propagated by Hamas are not just misleading but downright fabricated. In an era where facts seem optional in many political discussions, the IDF’s assertion that Hamas has once again inflated their numbers barely raises eyebrows. In a shocking twist that probably won’t come as a surprise to anyone, even high-profile figures like Vice President Kamala Harris continue to parrot these inflated figures without batting an eye.
Hamas, the group that has long claimed it wishes to obliterate Israel, has a well-documented history of lying. They have committed unspeakable acts of violence, enacted the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and have a peculiar knack for using their own people as human shields—all while enjoying the enthusiastic backing of a large chunk of the Gazan population. One would imagine Western leaders would be inclined to treat information from such a nefarious outfit with the utmost skepticism, yet time and again, they choose to side with the terrorists instead of our closest ally in the Middle East.
IDF Accuses Hamas of Exaggerating Casualty Numbers in Gaza.

Despite the relentless barrage of accusations from Hamas, Israel is compelled to defend itself vigorously on social media and beyond, as they did recently in response to claims of mass casualties following an IDF strike. The Israeli military pointedly noted that the numbers reported by Hamas are not corroborated by their own intelligence, which leads one to question why this even needs to be stated. It should stand to reason that Israel acts with the utmost precision, consciously attempting to minimize civilian casualties, while Hamas revels in the chaos, willing to sacrifice anyone for the sake of a narrative.
It’s almost comical how often the media regurgitates Hamas’s talking points when covering the Israel-Hamas conflict. Rarely is there any sympathy for the Israeli civilians enduring constant rocket threats. Instead, the narrative often shifts to focus on the supposed humanitarian plight of Gaza. Vice President Harris has recently showed off her penchant for misinformation by embracing inflated Hamas numbers to trumpet accusations of genocide against Israel. Just days before self-congratulating herself over the IDF’s successful operation to eliminate a top Hamas leader, Harris’s administration was busy issuing threats about withholding military support if Israel didn’t funnel in more aid—presumably to continue arming those very terrorists.
On top of that, the funding dynamics from America to Gaza are enough to make any taxpayer cringe. The Biden administration continues to send hundreds of millions of dollars into Hamas-controlled territories, essentially funding foes that attack Israelis. While the Biden-Harris team seems intent on propping up adversaries, they remain oblivious or apathetic to their rapidly eroding support among those who actually have Israel’s back.
If the United Nations isn’t the biggest joke in this situation, then it’s hard to say what is. With numerous employees cozying up to Hamas, and routinely demanding concessions from Israel, the UN seems to operate as a pure politicized body rather than a neutral arbiter. Meanwhile, left-leaning leaders in the West, like Emmanuel Macron, exhibit double standards, pretending to support Israel while simultaneously lamenting the situation in Gaza, a place they often neglect to mention is ruled by terrorists.
The conservative perspective on this ongoing conflict is clear: Hamas lies, the PR machine spins its propaganda, and the Western media laps it up without a second thought. As the IDF confirms the obvious, it becomes evident that anyone who continues to amplify Hamas’s claims is either woefully misinformed or is willingly complicit in a much larger, sinister agenda.
