Tonight’s work on #NonCombatants - a half orc blacksmith who thinks that her current customers are being unreasonable.

What do you think her name should be?

A desperate humanitarian crisis is deepening in Gaza. Aid workers say plans by the US and other nations to ramp up aid all fall short of pressuring Israel to lift its tight siege on the enclave.

Washington Institute for Near East Policy #Gaza Fatality Data Has Become Completely #Unreliable Heated debates over Palestinian death toll in #Hamas-#Israel war tend 2 focus on fact that widely cited fatality numbers make no distinction between #combatants & #noncombatants. While this is true it misses more fundamental problem—numbers themselves have lost any claim to validity. Download a condensed version of the author’s database (Excel).

Gaza Fatality Data Has Become Completely Unreliable

Given the discrepancies in official Palestinian counts and their growing reliance on questionable data from media reports, the credibility gaps revealed by a previous Washington Institute study have become yawning chasms.

#Israel continues slaughtering #Noncombatants in #Gaza.

Why?
#WeaponsOfMassDestruction, #NuclearBombs, effective missile systems, runways with bombers lined up, artillery?

What weapons are Israel slaughtering civilians to get to?
Grenades? Assault rifles? Pistols? Suicide bomber vests?

How many Israelis have been killed or injured by Hamas rockets in the last 5 years?
How many since the IDF focussed on Gaza after October 7?

And Hamas was a mystery and these werent a problem before 7th Oct?

“Some of this is happening out in the open, some behind the masks of #humanitarianism & #justice, & some in code, most famously ‘from the river to the sea,’ a chilling phrase that implicitly endorses the killing or deportation of the 9M #Israelis. It seems odd that one has to say: Killing #civilians, old people, even babies, is always wrong. But today say it one must.”

“The Hamas attack resembled a medieval Mongol raid for slaughter & human trophies—except it was recorded in real time & published to social media. Yet since #Oct7, Western academics, students, artists, & activists have denied, excused, or even celebrated the murders by a #terrorist sect that proclaims an #antiJewish genocidal program.
