The UN OCHA-OPT pretends to be objective, and they make cosmetic efforts in their articles and reports to make it sound like they count Israeli casualties as readily as they parrot Hamas casualty numbers.

Here is what the top of their main page has looked like, more or less, for months:


The first two columns, at first glance, seem even-handed 38,000+ Gazans killed according to the Hamas-run ministry of health, ans 1,200 Israelis killed on October 7 according to Israeli authorities.

Let's discount the obscenity of equating reports from Hamas, which has full control over the reporting, with those of Israel where any discrepancies would be front page news. Even without that, these numbers are selective.

Because the Gaza numbers include well over 10,000 terrorists, but the numbers of Israeli dead do not count the IDF soldiers killed in Gaza.

Why aren't IDF soldiers included? Either the UN is considering all the Gaza dead according to OCHA  to be civilian, or they simply do not are about IDF soldier lived while they do care about Hamas lives.

Also, if Israel estimates 14,000 or so Hamas members killed, why is that not mentioned in this graphic? That information is at least as credible as the Hamas numbers.

Then comes the third column. It counts the number of buildings allegedly destroyed in Gaza ad the number of people displaced. But tens of thousands of Israelis were displaced, and hundreds of buildings were damaged by Hamas during the pogrom and rocket salvos. Why do they not count?

Beyond that, note how OCHA also adds data about the numbers killed in the West Bank since OCtober 7. But the people killed and displaced in the north, by Hezbollah, are not counted. Why should casualties from one front of the same war be considered noteworthy but not from the other theater?

Choosing which statistics to report and which to ignore, or bury, is as clear an indication of bias as can be.
