This was only true early in the conflict; Hamas has long since been adding in casualties reported by "reliable media sources" as well as a Google form.
- sporkxrocket 1y agoThis is false. Reporting has slowed down as the hospitals have all been bombed. They don't use a "Google form", almost all of the infrastructure in Gaza has been destroyed by Israel during the genocide.
- dlubarov 1y agoNo, there was literally a public Google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScndnMojIJoflfSPTD25uqkZSzUH--G05AMwcbbyJB42bNQcw/viewform https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScndnMojIJoflfSPTD2... They later moved to a self-hosted form, which remains available to anyone who wants to report a purported casualty: https://sehatty.ps/moh-registration/public/add-order https://sehatty.ps/moh-registration/public/add-order This has been well known since early last year, when Hamas themselves spoke about their incorporation of these other sources. Casualty reports slowed down presumably because the fighting slowed down; in any case it's not a reason to make assumptions about Hamas' methodology that are contradicted by easily verifiable facts.
- sporkxrocket 1y agoYou're going to need to provide some documentation to back up your claim. Fighting hasn't slowed. They've been killing roughly 100 Palestinians a day. Most of the killings are documented by people on the ground.
