Norway’s prime minister says the Israeli army’s response to the deadly Hamas attack that killed 1,400 people and saw over 230 abducted by terrorists has been disproportionate, and denounces a “catastrophic” humanitarian situation in Gaza.

    It could be that way, but the historical numbers are from the PCBS they could be wrong systemically; but I don’t know of a better source.

      It still smells like a massive undercount. If you gave me that number for a Western country it would be ridiculous too. It’s just not a realistic number.

        It seems more like if the number had agreed with your assertion instead of refuted it you’d have accepted the source as generally accurate.

          I can’t offer you any proof because this is the Internet but I just really don’t like bad data. It gets used for rhetoric all the time and it’s exhausting to track down. In this case though, for reference, a normal deaths per 100k in a well supplied, peaceful, western country, is 800 to 900. To put forward these numbers in a poorly supplied middle eastern warzone is ridiculous.

            Okay, but you’re using no data for bad rhetoric.
