yes, they refered to b'tselem as TWO of their sources.Procon.org have cited B'Tselem as two of their sources. You feel they're not credible because the numbers aren't fixed in favour of Israeli regime? I'd hoped that $$2grand for hasbara bought you a bit of sense.
Love your analogy for palestinian body counts. Those who referred to the jewish body count during WWII as "suspect, and often entirely fictional" are called anti-semites and holocoust deniers. Each to their own i suppose...
Two.

think about it....
between dec 9 1987 and sep 28 2000 (first intifada) btselem reports: 1551 palestinian and 421 israeli casualties in the conflict...
<add in dozens of other sources>
then between sep 29 2000 and sep 30 2012 b'tselem reports 7317 palestinan and 1097 israeli casualties
the other sources in between do not span the time between 11:59 pm, sep 28 2000, and 12:01 am, sep 29 2000. thus the hazard of double counting is not only very real, but almost unavoidable
it's interesting to note that B'tselem includes nearly 700 palestinians executed by the PLO and hamas as part of their palestinian casualty list.
your sly attempt to conflate the inaccuracy and deliberate inflation of casualty reports from the palestinain organizations with the holocaust is not only shameless, but well played.
it's not accurate but it is a fine rhetorical maneuver. the nazis prepared their own records and served them up hot and fresh for internal use only. the palestinian groups prepare their reports for use by the press, and bigger numbers always makes casualty lists more appealing to reporters and editors.
pallie casualty reports are fiction, in the same vein as Enron's quarterly financial reports and obama's job creation numbers.
Edit: also, that was NOT an analogy, that was analysis... the two are very different.
