US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

Lies, damned lies and statistics, indeed!

Dennis Halliday (Irish, still living) was the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq from 1 September 1997 until 1998. He was the first of 2 successive UN coordinators for the sanctions program to quit under protest; He called the Iraqi sanctions genocidal.

Unlike statistic oriented Dyson, Halliday and his successor were on the ground in Iraq.
From a 2021 interview – 4 years after the Dyson report in 2017.

When I got to Iraq in 1998, the hospitals in Baghdad, and also of course in Basra and other cities, were full of children suffering from leukemia. Those children, we reckon perhaps 200,000 children, died of leukemia. At the same time, Washington and London withheld some of the medicines and treatment components that leukemia requires, again, it seemed, in a genocidal manner, denying Iraqi children the right to remain alive. 

So that is approximately 200,000 children many who were not in the narrow under-5 mortality cohort Dyson would have been focusing on; Also the words cancer & leukemia are not in Dyson’s statistical report.

Had these 200,000 deaths anything to do with the US sanctions in your opinion?

Can you tell me why so many children had leukemia in Iraq during those years?

I’m not sure but suspect No 1 would be Depleted Uranium dust from Desert Storm 1991

During the Gulf War, American and British forces introduced armor-piercing ammunition made of depleted uranium, a radioactive and toxic waste. By war's end, more than 290,000 kilograms of depleted uranium contaminated equipment and the soil on the battlefields of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and southern Iraq.

Depleted uranium weapons contaminate impact areas with extremely fine radioactive and toxic dust. U.S. Army testing found that 18 to 70% of a depleted uranium penetrator rod burns and oxidizes into extremely small particles during impact.[13] The impact of one 120mm depleted uranium penetrator fired from an American Abrams tank therefore creates between 900 and 3,400 grams of uranium oxide dust. U.S. Army testing further found "[t]he DU oxide aerosol formed during the impact of DU into armor has a high percentage of respirable size particles (50 to 96%)," and 52 to 83% of those respirable size particles are insoluble in lung fluids.[14] Respirable size particles (less than 5 microns in diameter) are easily inhaled or ingested. Insoluble particles are not readily excreted from the body, and may remain in the lungs or other organs for years.
Recent research found depleted uranium particles may remain in the lungs if inhaled,

Also

Official Iraqi government statistics show that, prior to the outbreak of the First Gulf War in 1991, the rate of cancer cases in Iraq was 40 out of 100,000 people. By 1995, it had increased to 800 out of 100,000 people, and, by 2005, it had doubled to at least 1,600 out of 100,000 people. Current estimates show the increasing trend continuing.

That IS the Dyson 2017 statistic report that was referenced in your LSE article 5 posts up and that I also linked to 4 posts up.
Here are 3 critical peer review type responses to it by the reddit user YukikoKoiSan in this thread.

Obviously a reddit review is not sufficient, so that is why I asked whether this research was peer reviewed especially by relevant academics based in Global South universities -This safeguard being necessarily required to balance out the highly political nature of this exclusively British statistical research.

If it hasn’t been peer reviewed to the highest level then it can be dismissed.
So I’ll ask again - has it been peer reviewed ?

anyone in Ireland defending the Iranian or Venezuelan regime can get to ****.

Anyone getting their Iran geopolitics from US/UK/Irish mainstream media (better described as ruling class media) can do the same Pal.

It would be like Irish people forming their beliefs about the famine & its aftermath in the 1840’s & 1850s exclusively from British millionaire owned newspapers & magazines.

By all means hold on to your belief that there were zero Iraqi child deaths from US/EU sanctions - based on a likely pay-for-play non-peer reviewed imperialist obfuscation / whitewash report. Discount all other humanitarian reports, all other academic research that says the opposite of what you (want to) believe.

Finally, I might be misreading it, but Dyson is saying child mortality reduced in the 1990s during the sanctions.

Despite the 290 tons of depleted uranium, planatery-scale poison from oil well fires, people forced to drink water from rivers with toxic poison in them – and then dying days later.

No, apparently US/EU sanctions on a bombed & destroyed country actually reduces that country’s child deaths.

What a load of preposterous bollox.
Yes, that’s more than enough about (the Iraqi) Western sanctions.

Why are you an apologist for a regime that has admitted to killing its own civilians?

Do you even acknowledge that the US/UK has ever done a colour revolution anywhere?

Are colour revolutions a non-existent concept in your world outlook?
