"We didn't kill THAT many Palestinians," claims Israel.

RT: Israel claims lowest civilian casualty ratio in history.

Israeli government spokesman Avi Hyman pegged the war deaths in Gaza at over 14,000 “terrorists” and around 16,000 civilians. Local health authorities in the Hamas-governed Palestinian enclave have reported more than 35,000 deaths, claiming that most of the deceased were women and children.

Hyman scolded media outlets and the United Nations for reporting Hamas casualty claims as fact, saying Israel had been condemned globally based on “fake and fabricated” numbers. Now that the Israeli government has released its statement, he added, “we would expect everyone to now take these figures as a genuine estimate from a free democratic country that fights in strict accordance with the laws of armed conflict in one of the most challenging urban warfare scenarios in history.”

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted on Sunday that Israeli forces had killed more Palestinian civilians than Hamas fighters.

"...we would expect everyone to now take these figures as a genuine estimate..."  Yeah because Israel always has been so truthful (cough, cough...USS Liberty, Lavon Affair, the Rosenbergs...cough).

Selected comments from the RT story:







It's OK now to question the number of dead? Well then, I have 6 million questions.

If a jew came up to me and stated he was a jew, I would disinclined to believe him. They seem to have a propensity to fabricate lies, obscure whatever truth is present and feel it is their holy mission to censor the US and bring lawfare up front, what, with ADL, Southern Poverty Law Center(Profit they have) and other NGOs. Time to kick them all out like other countries(122) have.

Cederq, ADL, SPLC check. Add AIPAC JDL ACLU and a couple others that off the top of my head I can't recall. I don't believe Israel at all but I also don't believe what Palestinian sources report either. Nor do I believe what our own govt tells us. Always gotta wait two more weeks for the truths, ya know?
