‘Associated Press’ blasts own reporting on Hamas casualty statistics

[Guno צְבִי]

The Associated Press released a report on Friday undercutting its own reporting of Hamas’s claim that more than two-thirds of the Palestinian casualties in Gaza have been women and children.

According to the AP’s new analysis of Hamas’s figures, the terror group’s “detailed reports” of casualty statistics reveal a much lower number of likely civilian casualties than Hamas claims.

“Among those fully identified, the records show a steady decline in the overall proportion of women and children who have been killed: from 64% in late October, to 62% as of early January, to 57% by the end of March, to 54% by the end of April,” the report says. “Yet throughout the war, the ministry has claimed that roughly two-thirds of the dead were women and children.”

“This figure has been repeated by international organizations and many in the foreign media, including the AP,” the report adds.

So if you kill a 95-year-old, is it the same as killing a 12 year old? Should there be a sliding scale for murder penalties based on age?
When a nation gets attacked they immediately talk about the women and children getting killed. When the country doing the attacks is asked, they say they are killing enemy soldiers.
This is not new and the stories aren't reliable.
