Andrew Fox: 我是英国退役军官，在阿富汗服役多年，拥有战争研究硕士学位，并研究过虚假信息。我撰写了一份报告，分析了哈马斯公布的加沙死亡人数。报告发现哈马斯夸大了死亡人数，特别是妇女和儿童的死亡人数。他们将男性登记为女性，成年人登记为儿童，甚至将自然死亡也包括在内。报告还发现，大多数伤亡者是战斗年龄的男性，平民与战斗人员的比例约为1:1。这表明这不是种族灭绝，而是哈马斯为了在国际舞台上抹黑以色列而进行的宣传活动。媒体在报道中几乎完全依赖哈马斯的数据，而忽略了以色列国防军的数据，这是一种严重的失衡。哈马斯以往的报告也存在隐瞒战斗人员死亡人数的情况。此次战争中，哈马斯使用了医院记录、媒体报道和公众提交信息等多种方式收集数据，这些数据存在诸多缺陷和不准确之处。以色列国防军在进行空袭时会进行比例性评估，并采取措施尽量减少平民伤亡，例如发出警告、使用精确制导武器等。但国际社会对以色列的审查标准远高于其他国家军队。 Eylon Levy: 本期节目讨论了加沙战争的死亡人数问题。哈马斯公布的死亡人数为45000人，但其中平民和哈马斯武装人员的比例至关重要，因为它影响我们对以色列战争的理解。联合国官员夸大了死亡人数，甚至超过了哈马斯本身。哈马斯声称大多数死者是妇女和儿童，但这不值得信任。Andrew Fox的报告揭示了哈马斯夸大妇女和儿童死亡人数，以及将男性登记为女性、成年人登记为儿童等问题。报告发现，加沙的大多数伤亡者是战斗年龄的男性，平民与战斗人员的比例约为1:1，这表明这不是种族灭绝。许多人为了拯救哈马斯，不惜撒谎，媒体也对此负有责任。媒体对加沙战争的报道存在严重失衡，几乎完全忽略了以色列的观点。以色列国防军（IDF）对死亡人数的评估方法与其他军队类似，但可能存在低估的情况。哈马斯在加沙设置了陷阱，以阻止以色列国防军（IDF）的入侵。加沙的城市环境非常复杂，对以色列国防军（IDF）来说是一个极具挑战性的战场。以色列国防军（IDF）进行空袭时会进行比例性评估，并采取措施尽量减少平民伤亡，例如发出警告、使用精确制导武器等。但国际社会对以色列的审查标准远高于其他国家军队。

How do you count the dead in Gaza? And really when we’re talking about tens of thousands killed does a miscount here or there really make such a difference? The answer is yes, when that misinformation is used to accuse the IDF of purposefully targeting civilians and committing genocide. Andrew Fox has led the latest report by the Henry Jackson Society, Questionable Counting: Analysing The Death Toll From The Hamas-Run Ministry Of Health In Gazahttps://henryjacksonsociety.org/publications/questionable-counting/ An in-depth analysis of the active misrepresentation of deaths by Hamas and how these numbers are weaponized by international organisations to make false claims against Israel on the global stage.Andrew is an experienced combat veteran, who served in the British Army from 2005 to 2021, completing three tours in Afghanistan, including one attached to the US Army Special Forces. He served in the Parachute Regiment and the Special Forces Support Group, with additional tours in Bosnia, the Middle East, and Northern Ireland.Co-Creator and Host - Eylon LevyCo-Creator - Guy RossExecutive Producer - Asher Westropp-EvansDirector - Lotem SegevEditor/Assistant Director - Benny GoldmanGraphics - Thomas GirschResearcher - Tal Segal 0:00 - Coming up0:20 - Monologue4:55 - Welcome and intro to report7:27 - Battlefield perspective11:02 - Drilling down into the numbers - death ratios19:00 - False Hamas claims of 70% of deaths were women and children27:50 - Criticism of report death total32:20 - Hamas' past lies of combat deaths41:58 - Importance of combat ratio metric45:57 - How armies manage civilian deaths50:23 - Hamas tunnel network58:00 - What is a proportionate strike?1:03:13 - Media's coverage of Gaza1:08:10 - Challenging the narrative1:10:45 - Wrap up
