Background to JINSA The Jewish Institute for National Security of America, or JINSA, announced last week that Gen. Frank McKenzie, who led CENTCOM from 2019 to April 2022, would become the Hertog Distinguished Fellow at JINSA’s Gemunder Center for Defense and Strategy. JINSA, which was a major promoter of the U.S. invasion of Iraq 21 years ago (when its name was the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs), has also long championed more confrontational military policies toward Iran, including providing Israel with the means to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities and supporting it if it chooses to do so. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/mckenzie-jinsa/

It should be remembered that the UK Government has an outstanding record when it comes to advising their citizens on the types of vehicles to buy 2001 Gordon Brown slashed tax on diesel to entice drivers to switch from petrol because diesels produce much lower carbon dioxide emissions than petrol cars. that's what we were told at the time Dash for Diesel Why officials in Labour government pushed 'dash for diesel' https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-41985715 Most people I know once they are aware that the Government is promoting a product they think once bitten twice shy

Port, car industry and supply chain executives told the UK Financial Times a major factor in the congestion was that some Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers were not selling their cars in Europe as quickly as expected. They also claimed ocean shipping delivery slots had been booked without ordering onward transport, which had led to lengthy dwell times at ports for vehicles that would normally be moved on to inland compounds and dealerships. One source claimed there were EVs imported from China that had been sitting at European ports for up to 18 months. “Nobody’s turning off production lines and making fewer cars at a time when sales are relatively static across Europe.” https://theloadstar.com/vehicle-imports-clogging-up-terminals-at-european-auto-ports/ Who would want to buy a vehicle that has been exposed to the outside weather conditions for up to 18 months

Toyota reported record annual net profit of ¥4.94 trillion ($31.9 billion) on Wednesday, but the world's largest automaker by sales warned that the current year would be less spectacular. For this year it expects net profit of ¥3.57 trillion, down 27.8%, because of investments in "growth areas" such as electric and hydrogen cars, as well as in "human capital." Toyota last month said it sold 11.1 million vehicles across all brands in fiscal 2023, up 5% and the first time the company had exceeded 10 million. A big factor was a 31% jump in sales of hybrid vehicles — combining internal combustion engines and batteries Toyota is however still aiming to sell 1.5 million EVs annually by 2026 and 3.5 million by 2030. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/05/08/companies/toyota-posts-record-yearly-net-profit/ Toyota seems to be doing better than other Brands They are not having a firesale to sell their vehicles like some EV Brands

No, the United Nations didn’t reduce the number of women and children killed in Gaza by half Israeli officials incorrectly claimed the UN reduced the number of women and children deaths in Gaza. The UN actually changed what data is used in their reports. The United Nations didn’t reduce the number of women and children killed in Gaza by half. The UN recently changed what kinds of data they are reporting about fatalities. The total number of fatalities is still at an estimated 35,000. The UN’s report on May 8 did not include estimates, but the actual number of men, women, children, and elderly who had been killed. The report indicates that as of April 30, of the 34,844 total reported fatalities, 24,686 people have been identified. This is the new subset of data that didn't appear in the May 6 report, or any prior reports. In the May 8th UN report, of those 24,686 killed and identified, 4,959 were women and 7,797 were children. This dataset does not include the roughly 10,000 people who are reported dead and have yet to be identified. https://www.khou.com/article/news/verify/israel-hamas-war/no-the-united-nations-didnt-reduce-the-number-of-women-and-children-killed-in-gaza-by-half/536-7d82cbfb-b6cf-4119-ae69-5925cb65e1a6

Still not revised down as you claim

Has the UN really said fewer people were killed by Israel in Gaza? No, is the short answer. The UN confirmed this on Monday, when spokesperson Farhan Haq, responding to a question from Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo, said that the updated breakdown was only in reference to the smaller 24,686 death toll. “There’s about another 10,000 plus bodies who still have to be fully identified, and so then the details of those – which of those are children, which of those are women – that will be reestablished once the full identification process is complete, https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/14/has-the-un-really-said-fewer-people-were-killed-by-israel-in-gaza So as stated the numbers weren't revised down as they published the numbers from the subset figure of 24,686 which doesn't include the 10,000 plus bodies and neither the total number or subset numbers include more than 10,000 reported missing or under the rubble”.

That's because the numbers were never revised down They published total numbers and a subset of the total numbers with fully identified Fully explained in Truth or Fake report from France24 https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/truth-or-fake/20240514-did-the-un-cut-their-gaza-women-and-children-death-toll-by-almost-50-compared-to-a-prior-report

I assume you must mean that you need your head examined as you parroted this recently You posted "“The numbers have not dramatically shifted. The overall tally remains unchanged — 35,000,” OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke said in emailed comments to NBC News on Monday. “What is new is the level of verification ('full details have been documented') for a subset of 24,686 of those fatalities."

You posted "“The numbers have not dramatically shifted. The overall tally remains unchanged — 35,000,” OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke said in emailed comments to NBC News on Monday. “What is new is the level of verification ('full details have been documented') for a subset of 24,686 of those fatalities." I see that as acceptance of the 35,000 figure as you didn't question the number in your own post

Well it does seem that you accept the 35,000 as correct as you post "“The numbers have not dramatically shifted. The overall tally remains unchanged — 35,000,” OCHA" Nick Carter seems to have an issue with UN figures Haven't seen any posts that question IDF numbers or that they have been independently verified

If its Hypothetical nonsense as you posted then you wouldn't have an issue with providing IDF for the detail of its methodology for counting Hamas fighter deaths and which origination was used to independently verified those numbers will you

There are some members on this forum that wouldn't accept UN figures even if there was no disclaimers but do accept IDF figures without knowing how the IDF produced those figures and even if those figures haven't been independently verified what good for the goose is good for the gander

The Israeli embassy in the UK told us they think the total number of Hamas fighters killed is "between 10,000 and 12,000". But they said it was hard to distinguish between civilians and combatants as many of them are not wearing military uniform and Hamas also has fighters who are aged 16 and 17. BBC Verify has repeatedly asked the IDF for the detail of its methodology for counting Hamas fighter deaths but they have not responded. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68387864 It seems that IDF figures haven't been independently verified so those figures should be taken with a pinch of salt

The United States Agency for International Development is an independent agency of the United States government that is primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance The figures are accepted by USAID and submitted in a report to the US State Department

Another option USAID also provided input to the memo. "The killing of nearly 32,000 people, of which the GOI (Government of Israel) itself assesses roughly two-thirds are civilian, may well amount to a violation of the international humanitarian law requirement," USAID officials wrote in the submission.
