The Truth Behind Casualties in the Israeli-Hamas War: Unveiling the Full Picture

The recent escalation of violence between Israel and Hamas, starting on October 7, 2023, has resulted in a tragic loss of life. The exact number of Israeli casualties is subject to various factors, including official reports, secret operations, and unreported deaths. This article aims to explore the complexities surrounding these casualties and the underlying reasons for the skewed reporting of war-related deaths.

How Many Israeli Casualties?

According to recent reports, the number of Israeli casualties is far too high, especially given the advanced warning mechanisms in place. However, the true extent of these deaths is often difficult to ascertain due to the complex interplay of military and civilian deaths, as well as the motive behind war casualty reports.

Understanding the Terminology: Dead vs. Killed

The terms "dead" and "killed" are not interchangeable. "Dead" is a broad term encompassing various causes, while "killed" implies the involvement of an outside agent. In the context of the Israeli-Hamas conflict, both IDF soldiers and civilians are equally at risk, and the line between them can be blurred.

The IDF Cover-up and Spinning of Numbers

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have a long-standing history of covering up the true number of casualties to meet various objectives. These objectives include:

IDF Boosting Morale: Minimizing the number of casualties to reduce fear and anxiety within Israeli society and maintain a sense of invincibility. Reputation and Image: Portraying the IDF as the best military in the world, invincible and capable of overcoming any challenge at will. Reducing Fear among Recruits: Ensuring potential recruits feel safe and secure under the protective guise of the IDF. Minimizing the Fear Factor: Convincing the Israeli public that the IDF can manage any situation and control death as part of its operations.

Furthermore, some mercenaries within the IDF, often paid substantial sums to carry out missions, are not included in official casualty reports. These mercenaries, who are often from the more marginalized sections of society, are treated as disposable numbers, not individuals with families and futures.

Counting and Covering Up: The Human Cost

While many Israeli casualties are meticulously recorded and honored, the same level of attention is not given to the IDF’s actions. Israel’s most extreme and dedicated combatants, who often fight with a religious fervor, are meticulously counted and individually documented. These individuals form the backbone of the Israeli-Zionist ideology and are treated with utmost secrecy and respect within their communities.

On the other hand, the hundreds of Palestinians killed during the conflict are often left uncounted or underreported. This discrepancy in reporting highlights the significant bias in the information disseminated by the IDF and other government bodies.

Conclusion

The true number of Israeli casualties in the ongoing conflict remains shrouded in mystery. Official reports often omit crucial details, and the reality is often far more grim than reported. It is crucial to seek multiple sources and maintain a critical eye when evaluating casualty reports during times of war.

By shedding light on these complexities, we aim to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the human cost of the Israeli-Hamas war. Transparency and truth are paramount in informing the public and holding those in power accountable.
