Strange statistics.
Get a load of this International Herald Tribune report. Suicide bombers are giving the Palestinians an edge, they say. The most potent weapon, they say. Keep up the good work, they sa… well, they don’t actually say that, but I got the feeling.

And get this: they say between 1,400 and 1,705 Palestinians have been estimated killed in the last 23 months (funny number, where did those 5 come from if it’s an estimate?) and between 563 and 610 Israelis have been killed. Even funnier (and I don't mean funny ha ha). Where did they get the Israeli numbers? We know exactly how many Israelis have been killed. Where does this 563 come from? Who aren’t they counting??? The soldiers? The settlers? The under-sevens? What is this? They say their estimates come from human rights organizations, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (those are the ones who smuggle arms in their ambulances) and the Israeli government. I don’t know that human rights organizations ever gave a damn about our dead, so maybe they’re getting the numbers of Israeli dead from the Red Crescent.

Here are the official Israeli statistics on Israeli casualties from 9/29/00 till the present day (it was updated yesterday).
