Hamas revises its casualty figues downward
There is no excuse for any western news organization reporting Hamas’ death figures as truth. And yet they do it constantly.
Hamas’ new March 2025 fatality list quietly drops 3,400 fully “identified” deaths listed in its Aug & Oct 2024 reports—including 1,080 children. These “deaths” never happened. The numbers were falsified—again.
The MSM in this country and many western European countries has become the propaganda organ of the terrorist regime of Hamas. That has been evident for many years – see my post on the Jenin massacre that never was. But in recent years it’s become ever more apparent and shows no signs of letting up, and has done enormous damage.
It has done enormous damage. Solzhenitsyn had this to say about the press.
Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask; by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?
I’ve been reading a lot of Solzhenitsyn quotes lately so I’ll probably be posting a few. Just a heads up.
How many Palestinians have died more than once? Very resilient they are.
Zombies aren’t resurected.

Arabic words for acceptable lying.
Christianity and Judaism have no words for that and there is a reason. Islam is a organized, top down criminal enterprise masquerading as a religion. Lying is part of their tactics to conquer and enslave everyone else.
I pray for their conversion every day. I then pray if they don’t, that The Good Lord disposes of them as he sees fit.
Why did they revise the numbers? Some aid from the US going to Gaza that was stopped recently started again. Was this part of a deal?
the numbers are fungible, I recall widlanski, who had been an israeli stringer for the Times, who related how certain scribes became experts, see Tom Friedman, and how he botched the Shatila story, which was a tragic enough episode in Fratricide in Lebanon, (corrected in his book version, but not before serious injury was made to a party,) of course like Halberstam on another front, Friedman became their go too guy on matters including trade, environment et al, Robin Wright, who some how missed the Iranian part of the rise of Hezbollah, likewise became an authority,
I tell this story a lot, and I know I’ve told it here.
In 1981, I was in Jerusalem at Hebrew University. There was a bar I went to frequently that was near an office building that housed a ton of foreign news agencies. So, a ton of foreign journalists hung out there. And what I learned about journalists covering Israel and the Middle East was:
Few knew Hebrew, and almost none knew Arabic.
They covered pretty much the ENTIRE Middle East while sitting on their a$$es in a bar on Jerusalem.
They didn’t particularly like Israelis. (They thought they were better than the Israelis.)
The stringers were almost all Arabs, and likely on the PLO payroll. (Which was later confirmed. But at the time, I only suspected it.)
They just really waited there, waiting for someone to tell them what was happening.
They really had no clue about the dynamics of the Middle East. (When Sadat was assassinated, they were surprised.)
When “The Year of Living Dangerously” came out not long after, I laughed out loud at the scene where the journalists are all sitting in a bar and someone runs in. (It’s want intended to be a funny scene, but someone had been around journalists.)
That’s a great question from Matt – why would they revise the numbers? Some incentive must have hit them… but what?
The incentive I bet is money!
