NEW ESSAY IS “By Admitting to Only 70K Dead And Disappeared In Gaza; Israel Is Haggling, Pleading Out, Copping to A Lesser Charge.” Read the entire piece on The Unz Review, the uncompromising home of dissident writers from day one.
Excerpt:
In the lexicon of crime, what Israel is currently doing is called plea bargaining. Israel is copping to a lesser charge with respect to the number of Palestinians dead and disappeared by its death squads in Gaza.
Nothing if not cunning, the Israelis know just how reliably compliant the West’s pundits are. At least those who did time in mainstream media. As an example take the celebration among some self-styled independent media of the fact that Israel’s military now admits that 70,000 souls were murdered in Gaza.
The “genocidal entity” knows full well that the number of murdered (and maimed) Ghazzawi is many times higher. So, Israel cops to what is, in reality, the lesser charge. Every common criminal and serial offender knows the tactic.
Moron media fail to comprehend that Israeli leadership is copping to a lesser charge with the intent to sustain Israel’s international impunity.
What the dumb, non-dissident media is doing is being itself. Reflexively, it is offering Israel a plea bargain in advance. “You can’t fix stupid,” said one Texas funny man. “There is not a pill you can take or a class you can go to. Stupid is forever.”
On top of that, since Israelis keep killing and destroying as the fancy takes them; the 70,000 plea-bargained figure, readily accepted by the Israeli perpetrators who are still on the lam, is no longer valid. Even that erroneous undercount, reported by CNN too, is outdated. Late in December of 2025, OCHA had counted 70,668; Haaretz 71,000.
In fact, as far back as June 26, 2025, Nir Hasson, writer for Haaretz, announced that, “Yes, in Gaza about 100,000 human beings were already killed.” Later, in the Hebrew edition of July 18, Haaretz featured an op-ed by a “University of London” expert in the assessment of the casualties of “war” (“genocide is not war”), who admitted that “Yes, in Gaza about 100,000 human beings had already been killed.”
After that, on November 25, 2025, the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) proclaimed that “the current violent death toll” in Gaza likely exceeded 100,000. While their underestimation is already invalid for obvious reasons; at least the “great” scientific minds of the Max Planck Institute understand that the situation in Gaza is … fluid.
With the pomp of officialdom, the MPIDR and the Centre for Demographic Studies (CED) had proffered that the death toll in Gaza, which this lot appears to attribute to the inchoate forces of “armed conflict and political instability,” will keep rising and life expectancy will continue to sharply decline.
How does one even respond? An inelegant Dah? An eye roll? I’ll go one better:
Why don’t we all settle down and wait for the “legitimate” Piers Moron Media, in their infinite wisdom, to remind us that the “evidence” in Gaza has yet to be carefully bagged and tagged, and that before the serial-killer state can be named and implicated in the homicide of hundreds-of-thousands of Palestinians; fingerprints must be lifted from each and every corpse.
More seriously, one might inform the misguided simpleton media and the MPIDR that their belated undercounts were preceded by others like them months ago. …”
