More Widely Divergent Reports of the Percentage of Palestinians Killed in Gaza Who Are Civilians
A story today in the L.A. Times:
Israel was under increasing international pressure over a military campaign that has killed more than 780 Palestinians, at least one-third of them civilians, according to Gaza medical workers.
By Friday evening, more than 20 Palestinians had been reported killed during the day, pushing the death toll for the two-week conflict to around 780, according to Gaza health officials who said at least half of those killed were civilians.
Al Haq, a Palestinian legal rights group, warned that 80 per cent of the 700 Palestinians killed in the fighting so far have been civilians. According to figures cited by the World Health Organisation, at least 40 per cent have been children. Another 3,000 Gazans have been wounded.
Nothing inconsistent about any of this, of course. If 110% of the casualties were infants, it would still be true that “at least one-third” or “at least half” were civilians. You know . . . technically.
Still, don’t the huge discrepancies indicate some level of uncertainty . . . and some responsibility on the part of news organizations to flag that uncertainty — beyond simply identifying the source?
I think I just saw a headline from the Lancet with an estimate of 10,000 dead, 9,500 of them civilians.
daleyrocks (5d22c0) — 1/9/2009 @ 8:23 pmWhat are you talking about? They’re all civilians defending their homeland agaisnt the great devil’s advocate.
John Hitchcock (fb941d) — 1/9/2009 @ 8:27 pmNo, Lancet said that it was one trillion dead with one and a half trillion civilians.
(Trillions! The new hundreds!)

A: Doctor.
Perfect Sense (9d1b08) — 1/9/2009 @ 9:14 pmB: Peace Activist.
C: Civilian.
D: Child
E: All of the above.
I just heard from Gaza medical officials that 150% of those killed were children. 300% of them had their heads bitten off by unmanned aerial vehicles.
Pablo (99243e) — 1/9/2009 @ 9:18 pmAl Jazeera has another version:
These numbers are similar to those reported by The National (257+56/780 = 40%), but that includes women and children. They are about halfway between the 1/3 reported by the L.A. Times and the 1/2 estimated by MSNBC.
DRJ (345e40) — 1/9/2009 @ 10:23 pmI’m almost tempted to believe the media sources just can’t do math.
DRJ (345e40) — 1/9/2009 @ 10:24 pmEvery time these Hamas rocket scientists launch rockets at Israel, the response is predictable. Israel levels the place. Lots of innocent civilians are killed along with a few Hamas. So why does the Hamas subject the civilian population to this over & over? The Hamas doest care who they kill. The Hamas need to be exterminated like vermin.
Hondo (7cfd24) — 1/9/2009 @ 10:51 pmThe MSM does not care if their math is accurate.
They don’t care about being accurate, period.
They care about ratings/sales, and to that end they embrace every unconfirmed report. The larger the ugly number, the better.
Icy Texan (b7d162) — 1/9/2009 @ 11:16 pmPerhaps if Israel allowed the media into Gaza we would have better information.

daleyrocks (5d22c0) — 1/9/2009 @ 11:39 pmPerhaps if Israel allowed the media into Gaza we would have better information.
— One thing’s for sure: we’d have an accurate tally of the number of dead media people.
Icy Texan (b7d162) — 1/9/2009 @ 11:52 pmPC – I do have some definite suggestions on members of the media I’d like to see reporting from there, but I doubt they’d go.
daleyrocks (5d22c0) — 1/9/2009 @ 11:55 pmThe Israelis have banned a lot of media since the biased reporting in Lebanon in 2006. Most of the MSM use Palestinian stringers anyway and that is like using Hamas press releases.
MIke K (ee3203) — 1/10/2009 @ 12:04 amNo matter what figure of casualties you use it is a surprisingly small number considering the Israelis have hit such a small area with about 1000 air strikes,
If they were waging war on civilians the numbers would be much larger.
I think even the IDF’s detractors will admit they usually hit what they aim at.
Dan Kauffman (3c9c17) — 1/10/2009 @ 2:21 amFrankly, I’m starting to think Israel should just launch, on a 1 for 1 basis, rockets at Gaza. Without aiming.

Scott Jacobs (90ff96) — 1/10/2009 @ 5:38 amJust who counts as a civilian in a guerrilla war? Do the Hamas fighters carry documentation or wear dog tags saying, “Umgwana kik Booti, Hamas Militia, Serial # OU812?” Do they wear distinctive uniforms, complete with rank insignia?
But, a close reading of the Hamas Charter tells us that there are no civilians at all there. The Preamble states that
That would seem to include the entire Islamic population.
Article 4 says:
Article 7 says:
And Article 7 continues:
To Hamas, all who are Muslim and resist the “lackeys of Zionism” are the freedom fighters. Thus, by their own definitions, all of those killed by Israeli action who are not actively opposed to Hamas and its goals are, in fact, Hamas, and could not be called civilians.
The notion that the Israelis are killing civilians is a Western one, kind of like the idea that the Palestinians are willing to accept Israel and live side-by-side with the Israelis in peace, if the Israelis would just be reasonable. To Hamas, the notion is ridiculous. They are willing to use it as a PR tool with which to hammer the Israelis, because they will use any tools they believe will work for them, but they have no more respect for the Western distinctions between combatants and civilians than they do for Westerners at all.

Israel is not wrongfully occupying it’s land. Why? Because it is her land! What part of history are you reading?
Mr March: As it happens, Israel was not occupying Gaza. Perhaps you’ve forgotten, but Israel pulled out of Gaza, lock, stock and barrel, and removed the Jewish settlers therein — a couple by force — in August of 2005. The Palestinians living in Gaza have had 3½ years to stop shooting at the former occupiers, and try to build something positive in that poor place.
Now, try again: why were Hamas shooting rockets into Israel?
The historian Dana (556f76) — 1/10/2009 @ 7:49 amWhat I hate about war today is the presumption that one’s response needs to be “proportional” to the attack and it must be “precise.”
I dunno but last I checked in war your job is to pound the enemy into submission with extreme prejudice until the enemy says “do as you wish but let us live.” Putting pain to the populace is an INTEGRAL part of this.
Israel’s problem (and ours) is we have forgotten this fact-of-life under the guise of being humanitarian ….
…. but there is nothing humanitarian in letting an enemy continue his ways over countless years and extending suffering on both sides.
Think the Germans would have surrendered if we just bombed “military targets.” Um no. Same with the Japanese.
The population would have kept egging on “the movement” out of parochial, nationalist tendencies.
If war is politics by another means, don;t go out of your way to kill innocents, but don’t get bogged down if you do. That is how you win wars.

love2008 who will now be known as Emperor7 (1b037c) — 1/10/2009 @ 8:13 amYour sarcasm is becoming believable.
The reason Hamas lobs their ineffective rockets into Israel is to gain the attention of the world which has ignored the Israeli blockade for the past 18 months. This blockade meant no food, no medicine, no cooking or heating oil could get into Gaza – no one could get out for medical treatment. They knew Israel would bomb the innocent again and use their incessant excuse that it is the people’s own fault for electing Hamas. You all can fight over numbers reported but the facts are the facts – genocide is being committed and it’s being done with weapons supplied by us, the US.

Now, if the Arab leaders actually cared about the plight of their Palestinian brethren, they could easily supply all of Gaza with food, medicine and all of the other products the people living in Gaza want and need. Some of the Arab countries are not exactly poor, and could find the extra resources to do so — if they actually wanted to do so.
The Dana who can read a map (556f76) — 1/10/2009 @ 8:59 amThere is a saying amongst Egyptians which says “the only thing worse than a Jew is a Palestinian.”

Scott Jacobs (90ff96) — 1/10/2009 @ 9:20 amNONE OF THE REPORTS COMING OUT OF GAZA should be believed. Hamas runs Ramattan and all other sources of news in that area. As far as I’m concerned, any news agency that passes on that kind of obvious disinformation has zero credibility. If Hamas is so upset about civilian deaths in Gaza, then they should stop firing rockets from otherwise peaceful neighborhoods. Are the Palestinian people really that stupid, that they let Hamas use them in order to incite more hatred against Israel in the Arab world? These people are astoundingly ignorant, and Hamas is just taking advantage of it.
JohnRJ08 (a1334e) — 1/10/2009 @ 9:23 amIsrael instituted the blockade for what should be obvious reasons to everybody here. When Hamas, a sworn enemy of Israel that wants Israel wiped from the face of the Earth, was voted into power, it was pretty clear that sharing a open border with Gaza was out of the question.
JohnRJ08 (a1334e) — 1/10/2009 @ 9:26 amIsraeli’s blockage of Gaza?
I don’t believe any people in the history of the universe have received as much aid and supplies as the people of Gaza. They chose to waste the aid that is not secreted away in Swiss bank accounts and then they cry for more aid.
The lack of aid is not their problem. Their love for murdering Jews is their problem.

Haaretz “The United Nations is claiming Israeli military officers have admitted there was no Palestinian gunfire emanating from inside an UNRWA school in Gaza which was shelled by an IDF tank.
“Dozens of Palestinians were killed in the shelling.”
“The International Committee of the Red Cross on Thursday accused Israel of delaying ambulance access to the Gaza Strip and demanded it grant safe access for Palestinian Red Crescent ambulances to return to evacuate more wounded.
Relief workers said they found four starving children sitting next to their dead mothers and other corpses in a house in a part of Gaza City bombed by Israeli forces, the Red Cross said on Thursday.”

Scott Jacobs (90ff96) — 1/10/2009 @ 9:48 amWow, lots of fertilizer and whatnot to deal with.
Israel has not blockaded Gaza, to think so is silly. The borders were closed to prevent terrorists from going into Israel, but non-war supplies, such as food and medicine, were flowing from Israel to Gaza during the supposed blockade. This material is still flowing from Israel to Gaza even as the fighting continues.
When I was attending Malone College (now Malone University) in the mid-80s, I was privileged enough to become friends with a couple unlikely room-mates. These unlikely room-mates purposely chose to be room-mates for 4 years in college, being very close friends. What made them unlikely room-mates? One was a Jew and the other was a Palestinian. Of course, they were both Christian, so that helped I’m sure.
Malone College is Quaker-affiliated so very much Christian and, unfortunately, very much pacifist. But the college is/was very much inclusive, provided those attending followed strict rules, such as attending Christian Chapel twice a week, Monday thru Friday. Why do I say this? Because, along with the Messianic Jew and Christian Palestinian, there were devout Moslems living in peace and taking college courses together in peace. Everyone knew the rules and followed the rules and everyone was respectful.
It can happen on a small scale but I seriously doubt it will ever happen on a large scale, especially with the complicit propaganda provided by western governments and media.

Nice catch. That propoganda has been diligently thrown around by those pro-Palestinian. And even in the pages of today’s WSJ op-ed a San Francisco professor also promotes it. Apparently Encarta or Wiki is unavailable on some people’s internet which is convenient as it relieves assigning any responsibility (moral and/or economic) to the Palestinians themselves for the sad condition of it’s people.
“Although Israel withdrew its settlers and soldiers from Gaza in 2005, it continues to tightly regulate Gaza’s coast, airspace and borders. Thus, Israel remains an occupying power with a legal duty to protect Gaza’s civilian population. But Israel’s 18-month siege of the Gaza Strip preceding the current crisis violated this obligation egregiously. It brought economic activity to a near standstill, left children hungry and malnourished, and denied Palestinian students opportunities to study abroad.”

To folks on the Left, it is curious: they deplore Fox News for the perception that it is “too Right wing,” while insisting that the MSM is unbiased.
I actually think that the best course is to have a “Column Right” and “Column Left” approach to the editorial page.

But if we don’t address it, then “different sides” will retreat into their own bunkers, and the results will be Trutherism, etc.
