Hamas’s phony casualty numbers: The chart below shows civilian casualty numbers in Gaza according to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health. The line is completely straight, suggesting that in the bloody chaos of the Israel-Hamas war, Palestinians have been dying at an almost perfectly steady rate. 

This graph is one of the pieces of evidence that has led Wharton School statistics professor Abraham Wyner to conclude that, when it comes to the casualty figures reported by the Gaza Ministry of Health, “The numbers are not real. That much is obvious to anyone who understands how naturally occurring numbers work.”
