Debunking terrible stats

[terriblestats @terrible_stats]

6 ways to lie with statistics on Israel/ Palestine. This video is a critical response to the graph called "Ethnic Cleansing" by @HenMazzig #terriblestats #Palestine #Israel

Number 1: Cite your sources in a really vague way so no one can actually check it.

[terriblestats @terrible_stats]

@tbradleysh @HenMazzig Pop increase doesn't imply no EC. There are several citations within the thread proving how the lack of drop in 700,000 in 1948 is totally wrong. No one will agree on the numbers but you'd be measuring the wrong thing to try and disprove ethnic cleansing anyway...

Today on terrible stats...

Would they get hit by a bus or a sub? @antumbral

@CentristTake It is to do with ethnicity- unless there is an area in the West Bank where Jewish people go through a military court? It is just the Palestinians. This is just one example - there are many more in various human rights reports that are well documented.

@CentristTake Would recommend giving this a read

[terriblestats @terrible_stats]

@CentristTake Apartheid Israel is primarily in the context of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. If a Jewish person commits the same crime as a Palestinian, the Jewish person will go through a civil court, but the Palestinian through a military court - 2 different legal systems.

@JewishAF @HenMazzig And sorry to be blunt, but why would we prove something that has already been proven? Palestinians are being forced from their homes. Israel backed- settlers are forcing them out. Everyone can agree on this - both the expellers and expelled.

[terriblestats @terrible_stats]

@JewishAF @HenMazzig Point number 2 addresses this already - you'd be measuring the wrong thing. The population increases, but it doesn't disprove ethnic cleansing. The borders of Israel and Palestine aren't well defined or constant, so there's no universally accepted time-series graph.

What's funny about this, is that when most people lie with statistics it's Berkson's paradox or Simpson's fallacy etc.
The fact that the bar is so low that you could "make up the numbers" and people will believe it, is so sad.

[terriblestats @terrible_stats]

Totally agree - The ethnic cleansing of Palestinians is so well documented that it should be seen as axiomatic.

[Fatima Vision @frazvi]

Also, distract from the real issue by making the oppressed prove they're being oppressed, hence the need for videos like this.

[terriblestats @terrible_stats]

@WhyforsakenMe @HenMazzig of course! (And you don't need to credit btw, dw) If you DM me, I can send you the drive with the video and you can download it if easier!

[terriblestats @terrible_stats]

@MichaelJRowley3 Very interesting, I'll have a deep-dive read. I didn't know anything about him or his background to be honest (I'm just a maths nerd who saw this viral graph and was super confused and then very annoyed).

[terriblestats @terrible_stats]

@AManInTheSun The confirmation bias is unreal!

[terriblestats @terrible_stats]

The nerdiness of this tweet is everything.

Hen Mazzig, report to MATH 697. You are hereby sentenced to perform an inverse of a 48 × 48 nonsingular square matrix for the offense of statistical fraud and being a hasbara troll.

[terriblestats @terrible_stats]

@finndly @PPitterstop @GladRoomba @yitzak_ben @HenMazzig @AOC You may want to check the sources on those graphs - Our video debunks the third one. The numbers are made up.

[terriblestats @terrible_stats]

@jijijibli @looIoobache @HenMazzig done!

[terriblestats @terrible_stats]

If both graphs made any mathematical sense, maybe this question would be valid. Check our video for more.

[Israel War Room @IsraelWarRoom]

Which graph looks like “ethnic cleansing” to you? (H/t @HenMazzig)
