| Steven, you again post a long screed and I don't propose to answer every point as this is simply getting tedious on both sides. But to illustrate that your comment on my second post "is full of errors," I'll take just one comment: the idea that 70% of the victims are women and children "is simply a lie propagated by Hamas and repeated by useful idiots." That figure comes from a careful examination by the UN Human Rights Office of verified details of 8,119 people killed in Gaza from November 2023 to April 2024. It was reported by the BBC at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn5wel11pgdo.amp, in a press release from the UN Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights at https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/11/there-must-be-due-reckoning-horrific-violations-possible-atrocity-crimes and in the full report at https://www.ohchr.org/en/documents/reports/six-month-update-report-human-rights-situation-gaza-1-november-2023-30-april-2024. It was not produced by Hamas, and your smear about "useful idiots" is simply wrong. |
