¹ A few days ago I wrote about the UN’s embarrassing attempt to revive the long-debunked “70% of fatalities in Gaza are women and children” lie. But what is the ACTUAL percentage of women and children among the fatalities in Gaza? 🧵
It looks like it’s time for another installment in our regular segment, "How to Lie with Statistics about Fatalities in Gaza", because a new "analysis" from @UNHumanRights has just dropped and all the mass media outlets are ecstatic. Let's start with the headline (I take BBC as

1/n Let's deal with a few *facts* here. On 10/6 2023, 06. October, the Gaza Strip was self-governing. It had a higher standard of living than the Egyptians bordering the southern Gazan border. Its rulers were billionaires. Hamas *owned* ≈10% of all land. https://t.co/57iS6OckIu

🧵Thread by @LeeMordechai has 3.4mm views but is filled with 100s of lies, errors, misrepresentations and importantly, omissions. It’s a mash up of every NGO, UN & media report claiming Israeli evil and absolves Hamas of wrongdoing. Let's examine the intellectual dishonesty: 1/

I said it over and over on air, but I gotta say it again. HUGE congratulations to @ulalaunch on a PERFECT launch of their new Vulcan rocket! I would say I'm surprised it went so well, but I'm honestly not, because this is exactly what I expect from ULA! @torybruno

Congrats @ulalaunch! Welcome to the renewed space race. With the starking differences between the r&d processes of @spacex, @ulalaunch, @blueorigin, @RocketLab and dozens more from US, China and EU this race is going to be spectacular and for the benefit of all mankind!
Quick look went well. Launched on the open of the window. Perfectly nominal mission. Dead on bullseye orbital insertion. For a minute there I thought I was in an Atlas mission…. #VulcanRocket

67% of people aged 18-24 in this Harvard-Harris poll view JEWS—not Zionists, not the Israeli government, but specifically Jews, all Jewish people—as a class of OPPRESSORS!! This is the new form of antisemitism. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ https://t.co/lrjBKE6Ute

🧵Critical Thread. Close review of Gaza casualty figures reported by UN OCHA based on daily Hamas “Ministry of Health” numbers proves they are FALSIFIED. Women & children are grossly inflated. This is easily proven but media ignores. See detailed expose below: 1/
