Israeli/Palistinian conflict: the death toll.

July 17, 2006 5:44 PM

Are these statistics disputed?

The Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms the B'Tselem site's fatality lists are approximately accurate for Israeli fatalities, but it doesn't hold any data on Palestinian fatalities.

I am interested to know if B'Tselem's statistics are accepted by Kadima. If not, on what grounds are they disputed?

Citations would be great.

It's hard to count bodies that are being taken to secret prisons.

Or I should say "were taken to secret prisons."

To be fair, they have been disputed (by an Israeli organization). I don't know if that says much except that they have been disputed.
