This is a totally credible and easily verified source, thanks for the effort to inform us 🙄

So I did some research, and: Moskowitz (D-FL) – Amendment No. 45 – Prohibits funds appropriated by this act to be made available for the State Department to cite statistics obtained from the Gaza Health Ministry as well as this

Here’s a reaction to it.

It is true. Ugh.

At the bottom, an official website and a news feed that includes casualty lists. Both sites are down at the moment.

This is from may so data is 2 months old

as of May 2024, at least 5% of Gaza's population has been killed, maimed or injured. [1] As of 22 June 2024, over 38,000 people (37,396 Palestinian[2] and 1,478 Israeli[14]) have been reported as killed in the Israel–Hamas war, including 108 journalists (103 Palestinian, 2 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[15] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, including 179 employees of UNRWA.

Over 24,000 of the dead have been fully identified by the Gaza Health Ministry;[19] of these, 52% are women and minors, 40% are men, and 8% are elderly of both sexes.

62 Democrats joined 207 Republicans in that vote

That's nearly all Republicans in the House and a little over a quarter of Democrats in the House

The parties aren't the same

I'm not claiming the parties are exactly the same, but neither red MAGA nor blue MAGA is our ally
