Any support will, i am sure, be welcomed. Eradication will not be achieved. Alternatively carrying out a hunt and kill operation by capturing, torturing and bribing known terrorist leaders, sympathisers and informants would increase the number of terrorists killed and captured (to be quickly killed with no mercy as no mercy is due). No doubt Israel has killed many hostages and allowed the majority of terrorists to escape in the fog of war. The Israeli government "war" is not a planned military response it is a polirical manouevre. There was a very interesting article in yesterdays Telegraph saying that figure has been grossly exaggerated by Hamas and the media have fallen for it hook line & sinker.

Behind a paywall or I’d post a link. Google Professor Abraham Wyner There will be ID, medical and death records of all people living in Gaza so i am sure at some stage a consensus on the casualty numbers will be reached. I doubt that the findings of the investigations will be that a satisfactory number of deaths was achieved. But to keep politics out of this let's look at statistics. Statistics are commonly found in a legal context where paid experts represent the prosecution and defense and will use the same data to argue opposite conclusions. The data set i see for this research is from 26 October to 10 November, a period of 15 days which are before the land invasion but don't start at the beginning of the bombing. It isn't explained why these dates were chosen - possibly they were the best fit to the theory. The data is shown as the cumulative total deaths plotted against date. The problem with using cumulative data is it smooths day to day variation, the variation when you add one day's data is dwarfed by the cummullative previous days data. There are better ways of looking for day to day variation than doing a cumulative chart that will minimise the variance. I can show the point: If you drink 8 pints of beer a day for 10 days on the 10th day the cumulative total will be 80 pints and the average per day is 8 pints. If you then drink 16 pints on day 11 the cumulative total is 96 pints but the average number of pints per day is 8.73 pints an increase of only 9% (well within the 15% margin the report author uses to illustrate the lack of variance in the data).

If I hadn't caught my balance I would have fallen into fast moving traffic. I for sure would have been run over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Health Ministry said 107 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours. That brings the total number of fatalities to 29,092 since the start of the war. The ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its records, but says around two-thirds of those killed were women and children. More than 69,000 Palestinians have been wounded, overwhelming the territory’s hospitals, less than half of which are even partially functioning. The Health Ministry is part of the Hamas-run government in Gaza but maintains detailed records of casualties. Its figures from previous wars in Gaza have largely matched those of U.N. agencies, independent experts and even Israel’s own tallies. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/more-than-29000-palestinians-have-been-killed-in-gaza-since-wars-start-health-ministry-says 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Dangleberries Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 At 7am M'Lady received a call from the Government Land Office to say that her Blue Book with my name included was ready for collection ... along with my ID Card ! In the 29 years I have lived here I have never bothered about it before. I am unaware of any advantages of it (or not) so it will be a 30 minute drive in to town later to pick it up.... 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
