In this latest piece by @SpencerGuard , one of the leading contemporary experts on Urban Warfare, stresses the obvious - and yet, it seems like the obvious doesn’t sit well with the majority of analysts, journalists, and policymakers. Therefore, John’s call on the general public, in Western societies in particular, is vital. Blatant indifference to the letter and spirit of the laws of war, and international humanitarian law, threatens all of Western civilization. Enough is enough! It’s time to stand-up to those dis-informing the general public! Thank you @SpencerGuard !

“The lies behind the Gaza casualty figures and the thousands of names removed without explanation,” my latest @nypost The world must move away from using raw numbers — especially those produced by biased or non-transparent sources — as shortcuts to legal and moral judgment. That is not how the laws of war work, nor is it how war itself operates. Analysts, journalists, policymakers, and the public must demand a higher standard of rigor and context before allowing questionable data to shape international perceptions and policy. https://nypost.com/2025/04/05/opinion/the-lies-behind-the-gaza-casualty-figures/
