Using stolen water to irrigate stolen land

23. Where did the UN, B'tselem, HRW get their numbers from? It was Hamas, wasn't it?

You trust Hamas over the IDF.

Problem is Hamas agreed with the IDF a year later, so what do you say to that?

Hamas’ military wing had previously claimed that only 49 of its militants were killed during the three-week operation that the IDF launched in December 2008. Israel had put the figure at 709.

In an interview with the London-based Al-Hayat daily last Monday, however, Hamas Interior Minister Fathi Hamad detailed the heavy price his group had paid during the war.

"They say that it was the people who were harmed in the last war," said Hamad. "Are we not part of the people nation? On the first day of the war, Israel attacked the police command and killed 250 martyrs, from Hamas and other factions."

"This was in addition to the 200-300 members of the Al-Qassam Brigade (Hamas' military wing) and 150 security personnel," Hamad added. "The rest of the fatalities were from among the civilian population."

Gee, Hamas' figure of 700 is pretty damned close to the IDF figure of 709. What a coincidence! Must be a Zionist conspiracy!

Your denial is ridiculous.
