UKLFI Charitable Trust held a webinar on Gaza: The Numbers and the Sources with Adv. Jonathan Braverman, chaired by Natasha Hausdorff, on Sunday 5 October, 2025.
This webinar discusses statistics, sources and methodologies on which serious allegations regarding Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza have been based.
The speaker, Adv. Jonathan Braverman, is a co-author of an extensive report which provides quantitative-statistical analyses relating to the allegations of deliberate starvation of the civilian population, deliberate killings of civilians, and indiscriminate and disproportionate bombing by the IDF in Gaza.
This study includes careful examinations of the statistics provided by Hamas-controlled ministries and the methodologies used by UN agencies and humanitarian organisations. It draws comparisons with data provided in other conflicts and other societies under oppressive regimes. Finally, it reaches conclusions as to the causes of recurrent analytical failures and the lack of subsequent corrective action.
