Okay, so he got a number a bit wrong. Does that make him criticizing Oct 7 invalid? If he had the correct number, would you be perfectly fine with the statement?
It’s fine to correct numbers, but it feels like you (and others) are using this as an excuse to target something deeper than him getting a number wrong.
I’d ask for a source on this but I know you don’t have one
Kinda sad watching the left call him an Israeli shill while the right calls him a Palestinian shill. Thus is the unfortunate lot of brown people. Ever a tool of people with an agenda.
Zohran is not the first person to be accused of malicious intent by both sides of an issue using completely opposite reasoning (both flawed) and he certainly won’t be the last. But it will always make me laugh at the stupidity of people who talk out of their ass.
You really think Zohran and however many other people from his team who wrote and proofread this statement just all had no idea what the civilian death count was? You think they just pulled whatever number came to mind without looking it up or even double checking it?
I’d say there’s an 80% chance Zohran farmed the writing out to staff and trusted them to provide him something good. And I’d say the remaining 20% is that he wrote the words himself using a fact sheet provided by staffers.
You really think politicians write their own shit if it’s longer than a tweet? You think he has time to personally fact check every statistic on every document he puts his name on?
Like, this kind of stuff happens all the fucking time.
If he uses the statistic again after this I might give him shit for it, but the rest of his position is still valid regardless.

He didn’t “get it a bit wrong”. He gave the number including Israeli soldiers in purpose.

You’re being deliberately obtuse and you know it.
You’re being deliberately pedantic so that you can perform your moral superiority routine.

Partially. The reply to his tweet still fully stands. But including IDF soldiers as victims makes it way worse.
