Ever since the Gaza genocide started, Israel and its supporters took every opportunity to disparage and dismiss the death and injured figures in the occupied Palestinians territory, arguing that they were overblown or even fabricated by Hamas to try and encourage everyone to treat the awful death toll with suspicion.
The UN has always stated that the numbers were accurate as the data published by the Hamas health ministry includes the full details of the deceased and confirmed by Gazan hospitals and morgues.
Now that a senior military intelligence official admitted last week that Israel has checked, and accepts the death toll published by Gaza’s health ministry, which currently stands at more than 73,600, those who peddled the line that the death toll was not to be trusted are shifting the goalposts and arguing that while the overall death toll of 73,600 may be accurate, what actually matters is the ratio of civilians to militants among them which is extremely low.
This lie falls apart immediately as details from Israel's own military database which was seen by several media outlets and being used in it's Genocide prosecution at the ICJ, indicated that 83% of Gaza’s dead were civilians.
One Israeli Officer said: 'People are promoted to the rank of terrorist after their death' including children to bolster the weak Israeli defence that they are killing terrorists or Hamas members wheres according to data obtained from this database, Israel had killed 8,300 militants, the other 65,300 you are safe to assume were civilian Palestinians slaughtered en masse with impunity and recklessness.
Tragically the health ministry’s figures do not include the grim figure of the 10,000 bodies at least still thought to be under the rubble nor do they include deaths from Israeli caused starvation, disease, hypothermia and treatable health conditions which studies show mean the true total may in fact have gone well beyond 100,000.
We won’t know for certain how high the horror death toll since 7 October really is until Israel stops bombing Gaza and stops preventing the media from being able to report from the strip on the abhorrent genocide Israel has, and continue, to commit.

regardless of the actual numbers, which are horrific, the hamas abuse of the people in gaza (using schools, hospitals, etc as military assets), and the support hamas got from the people (electing hamas to operate their "government", and ignoring the use of their assets and the tunnels) led to the massive death and destruction.
ReplyDeleteNever bored of being on the wrong side are you. Shameful.
ReplyDeletei do not give a f*** about being the popular side - especially when it is aligned with the left which is notoriously naive
ReplyDeleteNot defending a genocide and a person who is a probable pedophile and confirmed sex offender is not a popular or left thing, it is a right and wrong thing and if you do find yourself defending them, your moral compass is in serious need of a major recalibration.
ReplyDeletei'm not defending individuals. i'm not defending genocide.
ReplyDeletefirst, the concept of genocide has been destroyed by the word wrangling of the un and the left. you call almost all violent action genocide. though i don't recall you labeling russia's invasion of ukraine genocide. and you don't mention the many conflicts across the sahel but as an afterthought.
my morale compass is calibrated to account for the reality of human nature. human envy and jealousy lead to violence. sure, the envious will start it all by calling someone else greedy, but the truth cannot be denied.
the "palestinians" started what is happening to them now, prodded and funded by the iranian theocracy.
the sahel is swept by ethinc cleansing. western china is swept by ethinic cleansing.
the russians would take more than the ukraine if they could - that backfired on them.
n korea would sweep thru s korea and spread their leftist repression if they could.
china would wipe taiwan clean if not for the US.
japan now feels threatened by china, and rightly so.
the turks are obliterating the kurds.
but you only have it in for the israeli's.
i'm not for genocide. i'm in touch with reality and supporting the nations that best serve the needs of the US.
my moral compass says, all violence is bad. my reality says it is a dog eat dog world.
As every bit awful and shameful as i expected, you never disappoint. Defending the Israeli Genocide and not even mentioning your defense of a sex pest.
ReplyDeleteyou are awful and shameful in your support of regimes that abuse and repress their own people. you always disappoint. it is ignorant to think that people that hate you will behave if you are nice to them.
ReplyDeleteyour use of phrases like "sex pest" aren't clever. they also undermine what little credibility you have a journalist.
and it isn't genocide. it if was they would not have stopped bombing.
