The arithmetic of ‘genocide’?

Wednesday blog

There’s a short video doing the rounds supposedly showing a bunch of Hamas fighters lining up some Gazans. The Gazans are forced to kneel with their hands tied behind their backs and then are executed. I could provide a link, but suspect that would upset someone and thus be considered a ‘hate crime’.

But can this video even be genuine? After all, the Hamas Ministry of Propaganda (aka the BBC) assures us that Hamas are all cuddly, peace-loving, progressive, democratic victims being genocided by the beastly genocidal Israelis. Moreover, all the Gazan men screaming about their “snackbar” as Hamas execute their fellow Gazans all look remarkably well-fed and healthy. Yet the Hamas Ministry of Propaganda (aka C4 News) assures us that the poor Gazans are being starved to death by those nasty Israelis.

The arithmetic of genocide?

While we’re on the subject of the abominable Israelis and genocide, yesterday I saw some leading economist being interviewed on various economic and political subjects on GB News. I didn’t hear clearly as I was on my rowing machine at the time, but I think this genius repeated the claim that the bloodthirsty Israelis were committing “genocide” on the peace-loving Palestinans. Of course, I’m not a famous, financially-literate, mathematically-gifted, highly-paid economist like this guy. But I did a little simple arithmetic.

If we assume that our German friends killed around 6 million innocent Jews in a real genocide over about 4 years, that’s just over 4,000 Jews a day.

If we believe the BBC/C4 Ministry of Anti-Jewish Propaganda around 65,000 Gazans/Palestinians have been killed over 2 years. That’s around 90 dead Palestinians/Gazans a day, of which probably at least half are Hamas militants.

So, in a real genocide, the Germans murdered just over 4,000 innocent Jewish civilians a day, whereas the supposedly ‘genocidal’ Israelis only managed about 45 innocent Palestinian/Gazan civilians a day.

If the Israelis really are committing ‘genocide’ as so many people claim, then clearly the Israelis are not very good at it!
