I can post a video IDF released of cctv footage from the Shifa Hospital with an October 7th time stamp, documenting Hamas terrorists forcibly transporting hostages (a Nepalese civilian and a Thai civilian) through the hospital but I'm sure it will be met with "Must be fake posted by Israel!"
And yes I will say several posters are posting civilian death numbers supplied by Hamas without questioning it but everything from IDF sources including video is questioned ad nauseum. It's an absolute double standard that needs to be called out.

It has nothing to do with wanting “more,” it’s about evaluating sources from an objective lens. The video is, based on content alone, easier to believe than it is to dismiss. Who wouldn’t want to believe that to be true? But just because we want it to be true doesn’t mean we should throw what we know about how IDF operates out the window.
As far as the civilian death numbers go, those numbers historically have been fairly trustworthy (within an acceptable range), and journalists and other organizations independently verify numbers whenever and however possible. What is your position? That no civilians have died? No buildings have been destroyed? What alternative source are you presenting us to evaluate against the numbers others work to verify?
But outside of complaining about a “double standard,” what exactly is your position then? That you should be able to quote IDF sources without being questioned because people quote death numbers originating from Hamas without being questioned? Or that both should be questioned, even though you’re going to do one anyway?
