and 539 'civilians'

by Scott Creighton

Every day Israel's lies become clearer to those willing to see thru them.

Here are the actual casualty/fatality statistics compiled by sources on both sides of the conflict. As you can, when we were told 1,800 Israelis were killed on Oct. 7th, that was a lie. When we were told that number was actually 1,400, that too was a lie. Now the number is 1,200 and, once again, lie.

The total number of fatalities suffered by Israel since the start of this thing, numbers that include all IDF soldiers killed in action INSIDE GAZA, come to 1,139. As you can see, the source of the Israeli numbers are both the IDF and the Israeli Social Security administration. And they have had plenty of time to search the areas inside Israel where the conflict took place.

According to Barrons (who cited AFP) and according to Asharq al Awsat (featured on front page of Google search) the IDF had lost 600 soldiers in the conflict since Oct. 7th 2023. The date that number was reported by the IDF themselves, was March 31.

That was a month and a half ago.

Do the math.

539. 539 is the number of reported Israeli civilian casualties total. 

That is too say nothing of the ones we know were killed by IDF tank-fire, hellfire rockets launched by IDF drones and IDF soldiers firing hand-held weapons wildly into crowded areas (as witnessed by several videos from that day)

That is also to say nothing of the number of civilians in Israel who were armed as members of various militias and armed security.

539 'civilians' in Israel 'killed by Hamas' is the story. The whole story. The total story.

Thus far 14,500 children have been killed by the IDF in response to the loss of 539 'civilians'

And no one bats an eye at this obscene discrepancy. Perhaps that is because this is just more of the same. The way it has always been.

To 04 October 2023:

So far in 2023, IOF attacks have killed 234 Palestinians, including 118 civilians; amongst them 47 children, 6 women, a person with disability, and 9 killed by settlers while the rest were members of the Palestinian armed groups, including 10 children, and two died in Israeli prisons. Meanwhile, 1280 Palestinians, including 196 children, 33 women and 20 journalists, were injured in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. PCHR Gaza

In 2023, right before the attack, Israel had already killed 118 Palestinian civilians with 47 of those being children. Not combatants. Not 'tuuuuruuuruuurists'... children.

How many Israelis had been killed in 2023 before Oct 7th by Palestinians? Less than 20.

Since Monday some 80,000 Palestinians have been forced to flee Rafah due to the deal President Biden secretly cut with Bibi Netanyahu giving the latter a couple days to kill more civilians in Gaza in order to appease the ultra-right zionist monsters in both his war cabinet and in Israel.

Yesterday a new mass grave was uncovered (the 7th) near a hospital in the strip. Some bodies had been beheaded. Again, they were clearly civilians, patients, medical staffers... and children. The total body count from these mass graves now exceeds 500.

It is uncertain if those numbers are included in the graphic presented above.

14,500 children. Multiple mass graves. Allegations of rape and sexual abuse of Palestinian women being carried out by IDF soldiers. The deliberate destruction of all 16 universities in Gaza. The targeting of all hospitals and maternity wards as well. And of course, the closing of the Rafah crossing so as to cause more hunger and starvation.

Justified by the loss of 539 'civilians' on Oct 7th 2023... the number of them actually killed by the IDF is unknown at this time... but it is significant.

These are just the raw numbers, the math if you will. Though it is difficult to boil it down to simple statistics, difficult on one's conscience that is, sometimes that's what's needed.

How much is too much? Is proportionality a guideline to war like Robert McNamara said it should be? Or is war always about something else?

But this is not war. This is extermination. Palestine is being wiped off the map like all the Israelis said they wanted to do to them. This is clearly genocide and public support of it at least here in the states, is based entirely on lies, propaganda and exaggerations.

Sometimes we have to just boil the numbers down to the bottom line. Every other aspect of our lives are ultimately reduced to that. So to is this.

14,500 innocent children…
