Six of the "martyrs"



January 7 was "Palestinian Martyrs Day."

According to the PLO, there have been 100,000 Palestinian "martyrs" since 1948.

Since less than 30 Palestinians were killed by Israelis in 2020, I looked at previous years' announcements of the holiday - and none of them gave a total number of those killed since 1948.

The 100,000 number was first mentioned this year, implying that this nice, round number was achieved in 2020.

It is completely made up.

Wikipedia lists the number of deaths of Palestinians in wars since 1948. Less than 30,000 were killed in conflicts with Israel. 

A higher number were killed by other Arabs - mostly in the Lebanese civil war, but also thousands in Jordan in 1970 and (not listed there) thousands in Syria in its civil war. At least a thousand more were killed by fellow Palestinians as "collaborators," mostly during the first intifada.

The total doesn't approach 100,000, and most of the Palestinians "martyred" since 1948 were killed by their fellow Arabs!

It is just as much a lie as the "900,000 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel since 1967" lie. 

Why do Palestinians lie with completely made-up statistics? Because no Western reporters or NGOs expose the lies, so the lies get rewarded.
