It's quite a pattern. It might be the only talking point and policy that both parties still share (13 administrations and counting? Show me anything that hasn't changed one bit in 13 administrations aside from increasing the Pentagon budget and letting Israel do whatever it wants). Fetterman said a similar thing on the Colbert show, stating that as a US Senator he has to be unwavering in his support on Israel (truth!). And NY Governor Hochul just now on NY1 said in one breath that of course we hope that Israel doesn't kill many civilians (400 in the last 24 hours), but, "we can't let Hamas get away with it." As if a brief cease fire condones what Hamas did. So keep bombing!

We’re just taking Hamas casualty reports at face value, now, huh? Even after they lied that a hospital was hit by the IDF?

I am, only if they can be verified or supported by events on the timeline. The IDF increased the number of sorties over the weekend, and reported hitting over 300 structures in Gaza October 20-22. The Gaza health ministry reports the number of dead in Gaza since October 8 is now above 5,000. That seems to check out given what Sky News and the BBC are showing.
