| Palestinians do not coexist with occupiers: Hamas |
| 2014-07-28 |
| [Iran Press TV] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, Political Bureau chief Khaled Meshaal has demanded Israel lift its blockade of Gazoo, warning that "Paleostinians cannot coexist with the occupiers." "I do not coexist with the occupiers," Meshaal said in an interview broadcast on Sunday. He added that the Paleostinians are not fighting Israelis because they are "Jews," saying, "We are not actually fighting the Jews because they are Jews per se. We do not fight any other races. We fight the occupiers." Israel unleashed its offensive on the Gazoo Strip on July 8. Over the past 20 days, Israeli warplanes have been hitting numerous sites in the besieged Gazoo Strip, demolishing houses and burying families in the rubble. Israel also began a ground offensive against the impoverished enclave on July 17. The Paleostinian corpse count from 20 days of aerial and ground assaults on Gazoo now stands at 1,062, with more than 6,000 people injured. The Tel Aviv regime confirms that 43 Israeli soldiers have been killed in the Gazoo war. However, it was a brave man who first ate an oyster... Al-Qassam Brigades, which is the military wing of Hamas, says Paleostinian resistance fighters have killed at least 90 Israeli soldiers. |

| #2 ...you never get much from numbers. A cogent point, Big Thromoth3646. Or rather, useful information can be gotten from numbers, but one needs to do a good deal of digging underneath the totals. For instance, what is the age and sex distribution of the dead and of the wounded compared to the general population? How do these distributions compare to previous wars involving Israel and in general? Where did the deaths and injuries occur? F'r instance, if many of them took place near Israeli targets, one might suspect fighters defending/occupying the target, or human shields constrained or volunteering to protect sites, etc. But raw numbers mostly tell us that, for whatever reason, people did not flee when advised to by the Israelis. |

| #1 It has been my experience that you get five or six times as many wounded as you do killed. But wounded can mean that you are just out of it for a couple of days while you heal up enough and then they put you back in. Most wounds are unpleasant but not as bad as all that. You got a mark or two to show in later years. You might have a Purple Heart if someone does the paperwork. I got some gravel shrapnel in the elbow once, but I didn't qualify for a medal for that. The Vietnamese wanted to give me their third class Medal of Honor for rescuing three of their soldiers who were already dead, but I wrecked a Jeep ( theirs ) and they decided I wasn't really worth it. Dead and wounded , its a toss up, you never get much from numbers. |
