B'tselem claimed the vast majority of Palestinian deaths were civilian, not combatants - just like Hamas, the UN, and Amnesty originally claimed. Like more than 75% or 80% civilian casualties, remember?

The IDF claimed it was around 50/50 and a year later Hamas acknowledged those figures.

Of course, Amnesty, the UN and B'tselem never fixed their false numbers because of the propaganda value.

It wasn't 69-75%. That was a lie Hamas admitted when they agreed w/ the IDF numbers.... shira Jul 2016 #21
I trust the UN, B'tselem, HRW etc, but I don't trust the IDF. Little Tich Jul 2016 #22
