vs The photos and statistics Haaretz lost in translation

Also missing in translation, some of the gruesome statistics:

NYT: "women and children account for nearly 70 percent of all deaths reported in even though most combatants are men — an “extraordinary statistic.”

Haaretz chose to simply state "many women and children". It provides the absolute numbers , just not the proportion of women and children, which are alarmingly high considering most, if not all, combatants are male.

Haaretz also repeats line about numbers being inflated, even though experts quoted in the NYT article suggest their own estimates are very conservative, considering the type of bombs Israel is using.

"Those bombs are “really big,” said Mr. Garlasco, the adviser for the PAX organization. Israel, he said, also has thousands of smaller bombs from the United States that are designed to limit damage in dense urban areas, but weapons experts say they have seen little evidence that they are being used frequently."

NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/25/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-death-toll.html

Haaretz [Hebrew]: https://www.haaretz.co.il/news/politics/2023-11-27/ty-article/.premium/0000018c-0cd1-d65f-a7dd-fcd7294b0000

My impression is the mainstream Israeli media is consistently avoiding images showing the consequences of attacks on civilian population.

@oatmeal @israel @palestine it's not just your impression, many Israelis don't have the faintest idea of how their neighbours are and have been treated

What a monumental waste of money that could be used for development and improvement of the lives of many human beings.
Weapons manufacturers are having the best year ever, they should send all US, Israeli and European citizens a thank you card for their generous (involuntary) gift.

世界的な富の不均衡が、戦争や社会の不安定さの元凶の一つなら、現状の資本主義と戦争とは切っても切れない関係なのかもしれない。

移民問題は、遠ざけていた貧しい国々の苦しみの一端を共有し、痛感神経を共有した事によるショック症状とも言える。

資本主義の競争の究極の真の姿が、植民地主義による略奪という悍しきものであるなら、富や富を生む能力をいかに世界的に分配するか、カウンターバランスが平和にとって重要。

経済制裁というものも、長期的に見て本当に平和をもたらすものなのか疑問に思う。

イスラエルから解放されたパレスチナ人は、狭い監獄から、広くて危険な天井の無い監獄へと移されただけ。この戦闘休止が続かなければ、地獄へ送られたのと同じになる。

"Israel’s destruction of hospitals, education facilities and other vital infrastructure and the killing of over 13,000 people, half of them children, with missiles, bombs and high-tech weaponry cannot be described as war crimes or genocide, according to Anderson. They’re simply allegations, which are denied by Israel and cannot be independently verified, even though Israeli government leaders are openly proclaiming their genocidal intent."

A wonderful and emotional view of what being human and being Palestinian means, in spite of the violence, suffering and death.

materially how is this current hostage deal different from the one hamas offered 4w ago?

ceasefire for hostages was that one.

i cannot remember whether there was the demand for palestinians held by israel then...

but hamas offered hostages for ceasefire back then.

the propaganda that the utter obliteration of infrastructure and wholesale slaughter of the residents in gaza was necessary is a !!!!!

爆撃を受けた学校で女性や子供の死体が散乱。

これはもう、イスラエル VS ハマスの戦争ではなく、イスラエル VS 人類との戦争だ。

畜生道に落ちたイスラエルを何とかしてくれ!

Do not praise Hamas. It is a terrorist group. Praising Hamas is not leftist. It is pro-authoritarian, pro-theocratic, and pro-terrorism.

Polling shows:
•66% of Americans & 80% of Democrats demand ceasefire—yet they aren’t being listened to.
•73% of Palestinians in Gaza demand peaceful resolution contrary to Hamas—yet they aren’t being listened to.
•76% of Israelis demand Netanyahu resign—yet they aren’t being listened to

John Oliver perhaps said it best in his last episode—we need new leadership if we expect peace and Justice to prevail over war and death.
