larry johnson says what a lot of us already know and are amazed that the tv doesn't show. in my years i've seen a whole lot of the empire's illusions broken up and i'm hoping that before i go to the happy hunting grounds that i'll see the israel illusion shattered;

Judge Napolitano asked me a pertinent question today: Why are the persons released by Hamas referred to as hostages and the persons released by Israel as prisoners? I think the answer is simple: Israel and its supporters in the Western media control the narrative. However, if you look at the facts covering the period between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2022, a radically different picture emerges about who is the real terrorist in Israel.

I used Perplexity.ai, which is an excellent search engine, to get answers to the broader question of who is the biggest terrorist entity in Israel/Palestine. I use Bibi Netanyahu’s definition of terrorism — i.e., the use of violence against civilians for political purposes.

My first question, who is the biggest killer?

Between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2022, approximately 10,712 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces or settlers, according to data from B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization.

Between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2022, Palestinians killed approximately 1,106 Israelis, according to data from B’Tselem.

Got the picture? For every one Israeli killed by Palestinians, Israel killed 10 Palestinians. That ratio has increased dramatically since October 7, with Israel killing at least 46 Palestinians for every Israeli who has died.

What about hostages / prisoners? How many Israeli hostages did the Palestinians take between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2022?...........more.......
