The most infuriating detail of the death toll reporting is it's almost always phrased something like "44,000 have died in Gaza (according to the Hamas-run health department), after the conflict was initiated by the brutal massacre of 1,200 civilians by Hamas"

"1,200 civilians of which 3/4 were in the military"
