it is extremely hard to form a reasonable opinion of what is happening in gaza with the current level of vitriol online. i feel i’d have to do a substantial personal research project to see if i can believe the cumulative casualty numbers that are being bandied about. not to mention the numbers about deaths from starvation.
i wish institutions would do the work to publish their sources in a way that is clear complete and verifiable.
i would love to understand what others on hn do day-to-day other than takes cues from media they “trust”.

- coderatlarge 1y agothank you for sharing this is helpful
- coderatlarge 1y agomy wish would be for an article to have a section at the bottom explaining the source of the figures included in the body. for example they mention a number of dead but there’s no word about where it comes from.
