Joe Biden Dismissing Gaza Death Toll Sparks Fury
“As the death toll mounts in Gaza, Biden says ‘I have no notion if Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed,’ said Biden
Max Blumenthal replied.. “Joe Biden, who was manipulated by Netanyahu into claiming he saw photos of beheaded Israeli babies that didn’t exist, now says he’s ‘not confident’ the Palestinian death toll is as high as they say it is.”
The death toll from Israeli retaliatory strikes in Gaza has reached 7,028, the health ministry in the Palestinian enclave has announced. Some 2,913 children were among the dead, along with 1,709 women and 397 elderly, it said.
