Damned lies and statistics: Analysis shows that the Hamas "statistics" used by Schumer and Biden to attack Netanyahu and Israel are totally bogus
American Thinker ^ | 03/18/2024 | Howard J. Warner

This past Friday, Senator Charles Schumer of New York, the Democrat Majority Leader, and a Jew in the state with the largest Jewish population in this nation, called for the removal of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Though this is interference in democratic Israeli politics, the most disturbing aspect is the idea that underlies this demand.

Earlier, President Joe Biden indicated that it was time for him to have a “come to Jesus” moment with Netanyahu. Though it's quite insulting to use this phrase with the Jewish leader of the Jewish State, again the most troubling aspect is the implication underlying this statement.

The media and the administration have referred to the deaths of innocent Gazan civilians and has claimed that over 30,000 civilians have died since the IDF invaded the Gaza Strip. There is now evidence that this number is impossible. Mark Levin interviewed University of Pennsylvania statistics professor Abraham Wyner who has analyzed the numbers released by the Hamas Ministry of Health.

Even though these people are terrorists and less than honest, there is a total lack of critical analysis by American governmental statisticians and journalists. These numbers underlie the call for Netanyahu’s removal (whom the Left finds as repulsive as Donald Trump) since they claim he is indiscriminated in the conduct of the Israeli-Hamas War. Further, the Israeli War is damaging the Biden’s (an ultimately Obama’s) dream for an arrangement with Iran. In the end, Biden would be willing to let Israel go it alone and deny necessary military supplies.

Writing in Tablet magazine, Wyner details the statistical anomalies that  are being used to justify the public criticism of Israeli policies.

FROM TABLET MAGAZINE

First, the early period of civilian casualties is almost perfectly linear.  This is not realistic.  This means that there is very little daily variation in casualties, not plausible.  There should be some correlation between innocent women and children’s deaths, but this is not the case since the relationship does not line up.  Further the death of men is consistently about 30% while the total of women and children stays regularly at 70%.  This is also impossible since there should be variation daily.

Another aspect is puzzling since the male adult population of Gaza is about 25%.  This means that a higher percentage of males is being killed than total.  This would be expected, since the males tend to be the Hamas soldiers.  But the numbers are inadequate.  Hamas acknowledges the loss of 6,000 of its military which is 20% of the total reported deaths.  This would mean that Israel is not killing enough combatants or that almost all the men are soldiers in Hamas’ army.  Israel claims to have killed 12,000 Hamas fighters.  This is reasonable and double the number Hamas claims.  If true, then over 40% of the casualties are fighters, not civilians. Wyner says the ratio of fighters to civilians in urban combat deaths is 1.4 to 1.0, which is extremely low under these circumstances.  The is better than our U.S.. military experience in urban fighting.

A couple of old, washed up sexual deviants going after one of the world’s greatest leaders. Neither of those named idiots are worthy enough to shine Netanyahu’s shoes.

It is the same women and children getting killed over and over. They clean them up for the new day.

I have been waiting for some realistic casualty figures, not the unchallenged dump coming from the “ Gaza Health Ministry”

Unfortunately much of the world’s political leadership is too brain dead, anti semtitic, or intimidated to challenge or stop this muslim PSYOP

Yeah, the numbers are lies - more terrorists are being killed by far than ‘women and children’. But our press filled with stupid bimbos and pretentious ‘men’ want to believe the numbers that support their ‘beliefs’. So they’ll side with Hamas and believe Trump called for a blood bath.

The American press is stupid, biased and filled with hate for their readers and viewers.

No matter how much proof exists they’ll go with Biden butt kissing lies.

Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden are entitled to their own facts, even if they have to make them up. Says so right in the Democrat-Socialist playbook.

You haven’t seen it? It is plagiarized from “Rules for Radicals”, in which all forms of chicanery and dissembling are permitted. Lies by omission are particularly effective, making the opponent think you have much more power than you actually have, and making the opponent obey their own rules.

We are not dealing with nice people here.

“...deaths of innocent Gazan civilians...”

I am so sick of this coming from people who have no idea of history, practice, or responsibility. In WW II, the US bombed German factories and other facilities owned and operated by civilians. We bombed Hanoi in Vietnam. We missiled Baghdad in Iraq. Matter of fact, since the air became a place for using war products, the US has been active in the air with every one of our conflicts since balloons and for us even in our civil war in the mid 1800’s. And civilians were killed in every one of them.

Civilians are part of the equation in every war. And Gaza is no different. Hamas was elected into power by vote of the civilians in 2006. The civilians allowed them to cement their situation by halting elections, and the civilians did nothing. They watched their fellow countrymen go into Israel to kill and take hostages and said nothing. They live in fear of their elected government to be taken as hostages and tortured or put up as shields to be wounded or killed and they say nothing. So are these civilians innocent? How much are they willing to take by their own people let alone the enemy amongst them? They deserve what they asked for. And they are getting it. As ye sow, so shall ye reap.

“We are not dealing with nice people here.”

Yes, it is time for a “come to Jesus moment” - but not for Netanyahu. I wonder what was included along with the thirty pieces of silver Schumer received.

Baghdad Bob should get an apology from todays American ENEMEDIA!

They make his claims seem somewhat reasonable and possible!

These idiots will take any number, suggestion, leak, or complete made-up-lie and run with it...if it gets them an extra 2-5 seconds on the TV - PERIOD!

These are the same idiots who ran with the “Russia, Russia, Russia” narrative, probably fully aware they entire story was BS!

From the article: “The non-religious Jews who hold significant positions in the Biden administration…”

What in God’s green earth is a “non-religious Jew”? That’s a non-sequiter just like a “non-religious Christian” aka an atheist? I’m confused.
