Mortality in Gaza: lies and statistics

The Indomitable Mr. FAFO

The UN, UNWRA, WHO, numerous NGOs, senior British and American politicians and all the British mainstream news networks, including their flagship programmes, have all been consistently misleading people about the number of deaths in Gaza. But in the last month a series of articles in various publications have started to question this consensus. It is not clear why it has taken so long for this fightback, but what is clear is that the tide is turning.

One of the first major articles questioning the anti-Israel consensus was by Abrahm Wyner, an American mathematical statistician, and Professor of Statistics and Data Science at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Published in the American magazine Tablet on 7 March, his piece was called, “How the Gaza Ministry of Health Fakes Casualty Numbers”.

Raza got off light because the Goat wore suggestive clothing.

Anyone know if records like this can be obtained by a member of the public legally?

Is tweeting, publishing or otherwise making them public legal?

‘It’s soul-destroying’: How a malevolent online campaign is targeting Jewish doctors in Ontario

Dox a doc a day.

As anti-Israel — often anti-Jew — protests violently roil campuses across America, a different campaign dripping with malevolence is specifically targeting Jewish physicians right here in Ontario.

There’s no fig-leaf of divestment from Israel, no camouflage exploiting the horrors experienced by civilians in Gaza. Rather, the doxing has been a directed, co-ordinated crusade aimed at physicians whose only “offence’’ is their Jewishness.


It is unfortunate but not much can be done about it as that poisonous plant is now too deeply rooted to eradicate.

You may succeed in slowing its growth but inevitably it will win out.

If you supported Muslim immigration please kill yourself. You owe us that.

Sadiq Khan apologises to chief rabbi for hinting at Islamophobia

Sadiq Khan has apologised to the chief rabbi for suggesting that Jewish leaders only criticised his call for a ceasefire in Gaza due to his Muslim-sounding name.

The mayor of London called for a ceasefire early in the conflict in Israel and Gaza, but was criticised by Sir Ephraim Mirvis, who said in November that Khan’s call was “irresponsible” and that a ceasefire would be “a stepping stone to yet more Hamas brutality”.

How powerful is Hamas after 7 months of war with Israel?

Israel and the United States have agreed on the need to defeat Hamas, including in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, officials from both countries said after a meeting of the Strategic Consultative Group in early April.

As part of that virtual meeting, the US expressed its concerns with various courses of action in Rafah while Israel “agreed to take these concerns into account,” according to a statement released by the White House.

Between the lines, however, the meeting highlighted that militarily, Hamas has not been defeated in Gaza despite more than six months of war. It remains unclear how long Hamas could be able to fight against the Israeli military.

George Soros is paying student radicals who are fueling nationwide explosion of Israel-hating protests

George Soros and his hard-left acolytes are paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country.

The protests, which began when students took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, have mushroomed nationwide.

Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — and at some, students have clashed with police.

Rex Murphy: Hatred of Israel is the great moral disorder of our time

Baptists and Christadelphians stage anti-Israel march in Toronto,

It is the great moral disorder of our time.

Dear Israel is but a spit of earth on a huge globe. Three years after six million Jews were put to torture, humiliation, whippings, rape, medical experiment, starvation, and vile death, was it not surely time — time for all the nations of the Earth who had reached some moral understanding of life and government — to allow Jewish people time to rest, time to mourn, time to see what and who might be left of them.

The protesters were swiftly removed by Thames Valley Police and escorted out as the crowd inside the chamber applauded.

Unbelievable …

Israel could be Biden’s Vietnam

Pundits and protestors are drawing parallels between Joe Biden and Lyndon B Johnson – another liberal presidency doomed by an ugly war. In so many ways, Gaza is not Vietnam. America has no boots on the ground; no draft if it did. Yet the analogy builds in three troubling steps.

One: Biden owns the Middle East conflict even as he denounces the casualties. Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times notes that in January, the Israelis dropped a US-made bomb from a US-made plane on a US-relief group in a war supported by the US. “How can that not come back to Biden?” Kristof concludes that the President, for all his anti-war instincts, remains a die-hard Zionist, reluctant even to cut ties with an alleged crook like Netanyahu (there is reportedly a photo of the President on the prime minister’s desk inscribed: “Bibi, I love you but I don’t agree with a damn thing you have to say.”)

CUPE president silences members who call her out for wearing keffiyeh at union meeting

Some members of a Toronto-area public sector union say it has become an unsafe space for Jews after their union president wore a keffiyeh during a video meeting and then muted fellow union members who raised objections to her “political” attire.

The news comes as the Ontario legislature is embroiled in a fractious debate about whether the keffiyeh — a traditional scarf often worn by Palestinians — is acceptable clothing to wear within Queen’s Park.
