Whaaat? Hamas has been lying to the world? Say it ain't so! United Nations cuts estimates of women, children deaths in Gaza war in half Joey Garrison USA TODAY May 13, 2024 WASHINGTON ― The United Nations reduced estimates for the number of women and children killed during Israel's war in Gaza by nearly half, inviting new scrutiny for figures that come from the militant group Hamas. Of the 34,735 people who have died in Gaza since the war began, according to data published May 6 by the UN, more than 9,500 were women and more than 14,500 were children. But in updated data published two days later on May 8, the UN significantly reduced the figures to 4,959 women and 7,797 children among the 34,844 people reportedly killed in Gaza. The UN cites data from the Gaza Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas, to produce casualty figures. The UN reports come with a disclaimer that says, "The UN has so far not been able to produce independent, comprehensive, and verified casualty figures..."

I knew from past events and factual adjustments that these protesters were working from erroneous information. Can’t trust anyone reporting so called losses of so called Palestinians. Those disseminating the information are proven liars. Their propaganda elicited the anticipated reaction designed to relieve known terrorists from peril and pressure. Anyone pro Palestine is no better than the terrorists themselves. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

It occurs to me as I hear these death figures, where are they putting all the bodies? GAZA is pretty dense, urban and small. It would take a huge amount of space to bury them as individuals. So are there mass graves, surely one could see them via sat. imagery. Are they being cremated? Fuel is in short supply so? Do they have such a massive capacity. Its just been bugging me about the numbers. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

I say who the fuck cares. These shitheels started it and if the IDF and the Israeli people have the will and stomach for it, lay waste to it all. That’s the only true path to victory and humanity has known it for quite a while…folks have just lost the taste for complete victory ___________________________ No thanks, I've already got a penguin. | |||

You’re asking to scrutinize deceptions. The media will never do that to their terrorist allies. I trust Israel to do the thorough, prudent and moral thing as well as can be in war. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

Great minds think alike. And good use of shitheels. That’s like a triple bonus word. "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

Regarding the phony civilian casualties, someone said it best when they wrote "The New York Times: Stenographers for terrorists" That applies to NPR, CBS, ABC, etc., etc. ... stirred anti-clockwise. | |||

Meanwhile at the University of South Florida (Link): “SPECIAL NOTE: EMERGENCY ORDER 2024-E0-01 Per Board of Governors Emergency Order 2024-E0-01, undergraduate students who are seeking to escape a reasonable fear of antisemitic or other religious discrimination, harassment, intimidation or violence at their current institutions are eligible to transfer to the University of South Florida from an out of state, degree-granting, accredited institution within the United States.” Go Bulls! | |||

Good on them. It made me sick to hear a young jewish woman who was a third year medical student, describe how she was blocked from attending her classes at Columbia. Where is the outrage, the US Marshalls, the National Guard? Does civil rights only apply if your skin isn't white and/or you're a transexual? ... stirred anti-clockwise. | |||

I was watching a video of a Palestinian flag being raised in Chicago yesterday, next to a US flag at the same height and people were cheering. It is amazing at how many stupid "Americans" there are and how they choose not to see things, like when the Palestinians cheered after/during 9/11 or how Hamas is never condemned by Palestinians. It is a shame what this country has allowed to happen. | |||

That says it all, great reminder of grounded reality. Yea LG guys goes off the deep end on a pretty regular basis, sometimes right out of the blue, like a rabid animal, unpredictably. I don't remember the specifics, but some time ago I remember him making a very strong decision about something that made absolutely zero sense, and when asked about his reasoning, he refused to answer that line of questioning. If felt like the mafia or aliens were forcing him into supporting an insane position by some secret threat. I remember thinking, WTF. Lover of the US Constitution Wile E.

wrightd, you may be thinking of ms. lindsie's reaction to the SCOTUS Roe v Wade ruling, where iirc, prior to their ruling his position was that the matter should be decided at the state level, but then after their ruling which placed the decision at the state level, Graham went berserk and declared that a Federal 15-week abortion ban was necessary and put forward a legislative proposal for that. What a G-D fkn'g two-faced crazy POS and an irresponsible war-mongering lunatic! __________ "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy." | |||

That proposal probably lost Republicans a number of seats in the House, maybe even in the Senate. Wise of Trump, in my opinion, to advocate "states' rights" for this. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Israel announced on Friday that close to 700 tunnel shafts have been found in the final Hamas stronghold of Rafah along with 50 Hamas terrorist tunnels between Gaza and Egypt. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...a-and-egypt-n2639221 “These tunnels are used by Hamas to supply itself with weapons and ammunition, and could potentially be used to smuggle out of Gaza hostages or Hamas senior operatives,” Gilad explained. | |||

Clueless and dumb... California university president put on leave for ‘insubordination’ after meeting Gaza protesters’ demands

Now we know where much of the $47 Billion 'goodbye present' from Israel was spent apart from the rockets and ammunition, that is. | |||
