Anyone who paid attention knew that there was no doubt about the official number from the GHM being an undercount due to its historically conservative approach and due to inability to keep pace with the actual death rate. IDF now admits, like it did in 2021 and 2014, that it has an accurate record.
I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.
Biden himself said they were fabricated!

That being said, seeing how many non-leftists who have spent the last few years cheering on or whitewashing several genocides across the world and cheering on American imperialism going "omg on this cause the left is morally bankrupt" can stfu

Recent events do not mean the end of the SDF as a local actor, but rather the end of a political chapter built on outdated assumptions. The next chapter will be more fluid and unpredictable.
