McClatchy Typo Multiplies Palestinian Deaths
November 13, 2012 13:20 by Simon PloskerOne can only hope that the following figures were a result of a simple typo in Sheera Frenkel‘s report for McClatchy on Israel’s current problems on its northern and southern borders.
We are used to seeing Palestinian casualty figures tossed around by the media with little regard for the source or differentiation between Palestinian combatants and civilians.
But it’s the first time we’ve seen the figure inflated by ten times.
A typo maybe but these are the sorts of “minor” errors that make a bad situation for Israel even worse.

If it was a typo, wouldn’t it be more likely to be written as 1,3000? And to be clear, 1,300 is already inflated.

Israel is ultimately destined to occupy Gaza. What we see Israel doing today in Gaza is a pattern that will ultimately see Israel victorious over Hamas. Isaiah the prophet said, “They (the Israelis) will swoop down upon the shoulders of the Phillistines toward the west” (Isaiah 11:14) When Isaiah made this prophecy the Phillistines were long gone. This prophecy was for the future. Today we see this prophecy being fulfilled and a pattern of its ultimate fulfillment at the commencement of the Millennium when the “Root of Jesse” the Lord Jesus Himself will fight for Israel. No matter how many times Hamas attacks Israel, Hamas will be destroyed by the Israelis. God Himself will see to it!-Raoul.

I think that the record is still held by the media who unquesioningly cited Yasser Abed Rabbo’s figure of 900 deaths in the 2002 Battle of Jenin, when the real figure was 52 (of whom, 38 were armed males).

yea one zero more is good for the neonazis anti-israel anti.jewish evil villain nazis. of course.
nothing new in the west. i wonder even, why the whole west WAS so “jew-friendly” in the seventies – IT WAS NOT, it was the work of good holocaust-survivors.
Until 120 Years to All of Them.
But we must face, that WE are now the Jewish People. I don’t know. In europe, I might have been also economically in my career discriminated. My nose was broken by antisemite proHITLER muslims. since then, I have blogged my fingers into rheumatism.
I just can’t, anymore. We have to say it. We can’t anymore. World, stop your antisemite propaganda, or Israel ITSELF will have to take on much broader measures.

Raoul, my Lord, I bestow upon Thee My own G”d’s Wings, Armor, FireSword, and the Shield of David. May Ye Carry it with Great Pride and Honor, good Sire, Duke, Faire Hero.
I can tell by the first few words, what a person is. Your Blessings Upon the People of Jisrael will not remain unrewarded. But BEWARE of RACISTS. We all have to ORGANISE actually LIKE THE NAZIS DID AGAINST US in 1938, AGAINST THEM. IF our GOVERNMENTS can not do that, it’s 1933 all over again.
hitler would have by se oy vey turned AFRICA into a “TOURIST PARADISE” for WHITES — what happened in RUANDA in the 90ies, would’ve happened all over Africa & the world, would the nazis have won. china’s gov of late was no better.!!

… YES, we MUST END the WAR in MORE dignity as the CHRISTIANS and MUSLIMS did in the MIDDLE AGE (“… Bring me my BOW of BURNING gold .. bring me my ARROWS of desire … bring me my SPEAR, bring me my CHARIOT of FIRE” …. no GOOD words AT ALL, this song “AND DID THEIR FEET / JERUSALEM ” was ABUSED in the UK for “PATRIOTIC” propgaganda of much worse than THATCHER, she was not as bad as portrayed by many media, but surely, she did a mistake with the FALKLANDS.
But HAMAS would not either be a good “representative” for the FALCONS haha the FALKLANDS.
hamas is not only ANY “terrorist”. by disacknowledging ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO EXIST, on TOP of CNN slides (!), they show their own nazi vileness!

So, the CNN on TV, which i watched at a black colleague two days ago, and sometimes do, he always’s got CNN on, i see ALMOST ONLY TALK against RACISM.
it’s PLAIN LOVELY. SO GOOD. ALSO, CNN’s policy really seems to be PRO-TRUTH and therefore ANTI-HAMAS —– NOT exactly that.
THEY EVEN INTERVIEWED the HAMAS CHIEF, and ASK HIM, yea, when he DOES NOT EVEN RECOGNISE ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO EXIST …. “he can go away”, I would add personally. !
So, yea, criticise failures, but I think, CNN should just not always rely on REUTERS (De Rosa), which IS corrupted by de Rosa and other antisemites like that norwegian “doctor”, a commie rat crazo. BUT CNN itSELF is actually good, I can conclude.
