    Bias needs to be taken into account, but it does not invalidate good reporting on its own. It’s the same reason I don’t immediately believe all statements from the IDF. They are a party in the conflict and extremely biased. They are however a valuable source of information and their claims should be considered. I would also rank the credibility of the IDF over the credibility of Hamas.

      Other comment got reported, but still doesn’t change the fact that you’re comparing two bad sources and trying to pick one that’s less bad.

      If Hamas starts releasing verifiably false videos to Western audiences, then I’ll discredit that too.

        Are the countless numbers of staged videos not verifiably false enough for you? They literally operate a filming crew making victim propaganda.
