Hamas claim 70% Gaza dead women-children demonstrably false

Claims by Hamas that 70 per cent of casualties in the Gaza conflict are women and children have been dismissed as "demonstrably false" in a new report. Stone and Rose said their work "identifies extensive statistical anomalies, glaring inconsistencies, and a concerted effort by Hamas to inflate the number of civilian deaths " particularly among women and children " while systematically omitting combatant fatalities, especially amongst its own operatives.

"We do not doubt that a large number of civilians have tragically lost their lives in this conflict, and it is deeply concerning to us," the two researchers stated.

They asserted however that Hamas's declarations that Israel was committing "genocide" in Gaza "was inconsistent with its own datasets," and that "doctoring" of the data was possible because many of the medical directors in the Gazan Ministry of Health and hospital system were controlled by Hamas. "Sadly, when Hamas's narratives were accepted and amplified without any forensic critique, to be broadcast enthusiastically by agenda-driven activists, much of the world public was deceived."

"Hamas has waged not just a physical war but an information war, and far too many in the West have fallen for it. "It is imperative that our media, policymakers, and institutions treat data emanating from terrorist organisations with the scepticism and scrutiny it so obviously requires."

Please give us some examples of this Hamas propaganda that is being unwittingly consumed.

This reminds me of people insist it wasn't six million Jews killed in the Holocaust, it was closer to four point five million Jews killed in the Holocaust.

Like that changes anything.

'UN: Gaza Has Highest Number of Child Amputees Per Capita in the World'

Israel has also orphaned 19,000 children, courtesy of the hardworking American taxpayer, AIPAC, and US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY). You can see who accepts AIPAC money in the fourth link below. Gosh, I wonder how the Democrats lost 6,265,888 votes from 2020 to 2024? Note that there are 3.5m Arab-Americans in the US, 25% are Lebanese-American and not all of them are old enough to vote. An AIPAC talking point is to blame the Arab-Americans for not voting for Kamala Harris, shifting blame to the victims.

Murder-Death-Kill: Israel Slaughters 31 Human Beings

Israeli attacks on Gaza have killed at least 31 people as its more than two-month blockade of the besieged and bombarded enclave has caused acute food shortages, accelerating starvation of the Palestinian population. This genocide has been subsidized by the hardworking American taxpayer thanks to the efforts of AIPAC and US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) who capitulated on the GOP budget in mid-March, greenlighting Nakba 2025. AIPAC's Islamophobic messaging program over the past several decades has de-sensitized Americans to the plight of Palestinians, as you could read here from certain bloggers on Drudge Retort. A frequent AIPAC talking point is that the Palestinians in Gaza or Arab-American voters in the US are somehow responsible for their horrendous situation, much like blaming the Apache or Sioux tribes of 19th-century North America for their own demise.

This chart shows the IDF weaponization of food against the Gazans: www.aljazeera.com

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC against Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes remains active. The ICJ has yet to rule on the genocide case against Israel at the Hague. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

"Hamas claim 70% Gaza dead women-children demonstrably false"

Relevance?
Is there supposed to be some cutoff percentage beyond which women and children don't get killed in war?
Because for Israel, the limit on how many women and children they can kill is 100%.
They just haven't gotten there yet.

Much like our manifest Destiny played out over a century and a half,
Zionism's Manifest Destiny is only halfway done with Ethnic Cleansing of Eretz Yisrael.

It's what happens when you are so indiscriminate with your fire.

It's what genocide requires.

Was it a good thing or not?

So what you're saying is real wiping out Hamas will lead to a better middle east.

Or is America worse than the hundred or so Indian nations?

[Researchers present carefully prepared report revealing supporting evidence that demonstrates Israel is deliberately avoiding civilian casualties to the extent possible in the war that the Palestinians started; and that Hamas has manufactured evidence to support false claims of genocide to manipulate Western fools.]

"It's GenOCiDE!!!!"
-Useful idiot westerners (who would be next against the wall after Palestinian ISIS finishes with the Jews)
