Amid campus protests, organizers with past ties to Hamas support also emerge

  • Ran the internal newspaper for a group who funded Hamas.

  • Agreed.

    I’m reminded of Trump’s “very fine people on both sides” quote, in response to the Charlottesville protests where Proud Boys chanted “Jews will not replace us.”

  • From the article.

    From 2002 to 2004, Abuirshaid ran the internal newspaper for a pro-Palestinian media organization called Islamic Association for Palestine. The group’s sister fundraising organization, the Holy Land Foundation was designated a terror group in 2001, investigated by the FBI and indicted by the Department of Justice. Ultimately, the foundation’s leaders went to prison for supporting terrorists, and a federal judge later found both groups responsible for funding Hamas.

    Running the newspaper for a group funding Hamas. Sounds like he’s connected to me.

    • The Gaza Death Toll Is Confusing And Unreliable

    Jump

  • TLDR from the article:

    Israel’s count for death toll in Gaza is relatively non-existent, imprecise, and/or not available to the general public for scrutiny.

  • It’s math from the numbers in that article, which is admittedly a few months old at this point.  At that time, according to the ministry 70% of 30,000 deaths (~21,000) were women and children.

    For the 17,000 that hospital staff reported, 58% (~9,860) of the deaths were recorded as women and children. For the remaining 13,000 the ministry relied on “reliable media sources.” 

    For the overall percentage of women and children killed to be 70%, 11,140 of the remaining 13,000 reportedly killed must be women and children. That is ~86%.

  • I would also like to point out while the overall death toll is supposedly unchanged, the reported number of women and children killed absolutely is changed.

    The original numbers suggest that 11,244 additional women and children were killed on top of those identified. If 100% of the unidentified remains were women and children, that would still put the death toll at 35,890, or ~890 more than the current numbers.

    I believe the discrepancy being corrected in the report goes back to when the ministry started relying on “reliable media sources.” Since that time, they have reported unbelievably high percentages of women and children being killed (~86%).

  • Mods removed the original post due to the article being updated and/or the statistics being “debunked,” so I am reposting with the updated headline and article. If you wish to view the original you can find an archive.org link here.
