    Sounds like a reasonable decision. The Hamas-run label was used to denote that the death toll coming out of the Gaza Health Ministry was not very trustworthy. The numbers have since been declared trustworthy by pretty much any credible agency around the world but the most invested hasbaristas. Therefore today the label has become misleading when it comes to this information. It adds uncertainty to trustworthy information which only serves the goals of the hasbaristas who seek to convince that the death toll is significantly lower.

      They were considered trustworthy before as well but that didn’t stop Israel from calling it false as it made them look bad.

      Sadly don’t see anything stopping the hasbarist from continuing to call anything false
