The Christmas and New Year season is a time to reflect on
our lives, give thanks for what we have, and make gestures for those who may
have less. Unfortunately, the
ideological lefties use this emotional time to advance their guilt
politics. The stories of the plight of the
people of Gaza are used as a device to advance the agenda of the anti-Semitic
hate machine.
One ploy is to use the media to exploit the tragic pain and
suffering stories of Gaza residents to obtain sympathy. It is part of the overall strategy to
de-legitimize and discredit Israel and deflect attention away from Hamas
crimes. False reporting of the war in
Gaza fuels the internationally organized to obtain sympathy, money, and
political support.
The legacy media have done a poor job of “observing and
reporting” as distinct from “opinion and analysis.” Western journalism has a backdrop of
unreliable propaganda manufactured by Hamas, and they have not made sufficient
effort to sort fact from fiction.
In December 2024, Andrew Fox published
an in-depth report entitled,
QUESTIONABLE COUNTING: ANALYSING THE DEATH TOLL FROM THE
HAMAS-RUN MINISTRY OF HEALTH IN GAZA
He makes key findings that have received no coverage in the
Canadian legacy media.
The issue for Canadians is to understand and admit the philosophical
and religious base of Hamas. Why do they
exist, and what are their stated aims?
What have they done?
Hamas is an acronym of the Arabic phrase حركة المقاومة الإسلامية
or Ḥarakah al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah, meaning "Islamic Resistance
Movement". This acronym, HMS, was
glossed in the 1988 Hamas Covenant by the Arabic word ḥamās (حماس) which itself
means "zeal", "strength", or "bravery".
The 1988 Hamas charter proclaims that jihad (war) against
Jews is required until Judgement Day. On
October 24th, Hamas leadership excused their October 7th attack: "Israel
is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove that country because it
constitutes a security, military and political catastrophe to the Arab and
Islamic nation. We are called a nation
of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs. We are the victims of the occupation. Therefore, nobody should blame us for the
things we do".
Canada, under the Jean-Chretien government, declared Hamas
an illegal terrorist organization on November 27th, 2002.
Once the blood flowed on October 7th,
2023, Hamas launched its political cyber offensive of lies to feed its
confederates in Canada and around the world.
Moreover, until now, their casualty counts have not been seriously
challenged.
Andrew Fox says that Hamas listed men as women to inflate
female fatalities to inflate the narrative that civilian populations,
particularly women and children, bear the brunt of the conflict, thereby
influencing international sentiment and media coverage.
Fox says: “This fatality analysis report recognises the
immense toll of the war on Palestinians in Gaza. Even as fatalities are discussed as
quantifiable numbers, it is important to remember that innocent people are
suffering, and each number represents a human life. Many of those lives were innocent people
caught in the middle of a brutal war started by Hamas on 7 October. The suffering, death and destruction are very
real for actual human beings.”
Adults were registered as children. It inflates the number of child casualties,
which is emotionally impactful in global reporting, and frames the conflict as
disproportionately affecting children.
They also disproportionately report deaths of fighting-age men. This evidence says that many fatalities
classified as civilians may actually be active combatants. They also include natural deaths. Despite the typical annual rate of 5,000
natural deaths in Gaza, such practice inflates the civilian death toll. Then there is the media underreporting of
combatant deaths. The omission creates a
skewed narrative that portrays all casualties as civilians, thus shaping public
opinion and international policy based on manipulated data.
In conclusion, the report says:
“Global media outlets have, understandably, focused on the
number of deaths in Gaza as a lens of critique of Israeli operations. Many media outlets give the proviso that the
Gaza Ministry of Health is Hamas-run, but few give the same level of attention
to IDF reports of the number of fighters killed as part of the overall Israeli
fatality total. Nor do media outlets
give the methodology, reporting, or content of the lists of names the scrutiny
they deserve.”
“A definitive figure of fatalities is impossible due to the
lack of transparency from the Ministry of Health (MoH), a general lack of
access to the Palestinian Population Registry, and the challenges of counting
militants killed in combat. However,
this report finds numerous errors that cannot be explained by a lack of access
to the Ministry of Health computer network that went offline in November 2023.”
“We have identified distortion of statistics, misreporting
of natural deaths, deaths from before the war started, and a high likelihood of
combatant deaths being included on the list.
This report also challenges the assumption that MoH fatality reports
from previous conflicts are reliable and reveals evidence of efforts to hide
militant fatalities. We also identify
critical differences in the demographic breakdowns reported by the MoH and the
Hamas Government Media Office.”
Given the Fox report, it is not hard to surmise that
Hamas lies about everything. They exist
on a false premise. Their actions are
murderous. They will resort to anything
to pursue their goal. Sympathizing
Canadians must become aware of the horrible truth.
