Jimmy boy,

" go count the number of people who have actually been killed in the last dozen years and report back

OK, I am. The number of civilians killed in recent years is consistent with two sets of numbers.

1. The inclusion of a large number of non-uniformed fighters in combat being claimed by Hamas to be civilian ( but the statistics are not correct- too many of the ages 18-27, not enough women)

2. The expected kill rate for random hits by Hamas anti-personnel rockets on unsheltered Palestinian civilians- 640- 960 rockets hitting Gaza, 2-3 killed, 45-60 wounded from each warhead.

Now tell me- Is Hamas LYING about who is being killed, or are they LYING about HOW they are being killed? EITHER fits the data.
