The United Nations has significantly adjusted Palestinian casualty figures for the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, halving the number of women and children previously reported killed.
While more than 9,500 women and 14,500 children were reported among the fatalities by the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on May 6, two days later that number was revised significantly downward. Today, under 5,000 women and 8,000 children are now officially listed by the UN as casualties. David Adesnik, director of research at the Washington-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), told the National Post he suspects the discrepancy stems from the UN’s decision to quietly stop using figures provided by the Hamas-run Government Media Office (GMO).
“So you see May 6 and before, the GMO (is listed as a source); all of a sudden, May 8, they don’t cite a source,” Adesnik told the Post over the phone on Sunday. He pointed to the similarity between the new figures and those from a May 2 Gaza Health Ministry (GMH) report as a tip-off suggesting the UN had ditched the media office’s figures in favour of those from the health ministry, “even though they don’t say (the Gaza) Health Ministry in the thing.”
“So clearly here we’ve done a switch from GMO’s big number, which never had any clear basis elaborated; like they just offered nothing but their own assertion. Whereas the Health Ministry does more to back its stuff up,” he said.

Not the ones in Dresden.
Ah yes good point.
Well actually to be more precise:
Dead to total population of Israel = 1200 dead/ 9840000 (total pop) = 0.01219%
Total population of US = 332278200 * 0.01219% = 40,504 dead.
Gaza would be a sheet of glass right now if they did the equivalent of this to any other Nuclear armed power.
Exactly though the US has its share of self hating Jews like Noam Chomsky.
Townhall wrote Hamas admitted their numbers were ‘too high’ on 4/14/2024. I’m amazed it only took the Untied Nations 1 month to admit the truth:
