BMJ's Bad Medicine: Honest Reporting does its own research following the BMJ's attack

PubMed is is a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine that includes over 18 million citations from various life science journals for biomedical articles back to 1948 - the medical version of Google. Dr. Simon Fishman entered searches for citations relating to victims of international conflicts, including Palestinians.

Such a search reveals articles in medical journals examining a whole range of genuine healthcare issues such as the psychological effects of war on Rwandan, Bosnian and Darfurian children, HIV testing in Rwanda, and other studies that are not necessarily focused on death tolls from such conflicts. Nonetheless, using the casualty figures from a range of conflict zones as a simple judge of scale produced the following results:

BMJ

Dr. Fishman concluded the following from his figures:

- When Europeans kill Europeans (Bosnia), the BMJ allocates one citation for every 2000 deaths.
- When Africans kill Africans (Rwanda), the BMJ allocates one citation for every 4000 deaths.
- When Muslim Arabs kill Black Africans (Darfur), the BMJ allocates one citation for every (minimum) 7000 Dafurians who are killed.
- When Israelis, in the process of combating terrorists, kill Palestinians, the BMJ allocates one citation for every 13 Palestinians killed (including terrorist combatants).
- When Arab Muslims kill Kurds, the BMJ fails to give this any attention whatsoever.

The evidence clearly shows that the BMJ has a disproportionate interest in Palestinian deaths over those from other conflict areas where the impact on public health is certainly as great and potentially greater than that of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This bias is consistent with its attacks on the so-called "Israel lobby." If the journal maintained editorial balance, it would be less vulnerable to criticism on the issue and would have less reason to resort to conspiracy theories to deflect legitimate criticism.

Why does the media and the U.N. concentrate on Arab-Israeli conflict (tens of thousands of deaths)
while paying much less attention to Darfur conflict (hundreds of thousands of deaths)?

 I am a Muslim
When a Muslim is killed by a Jew, it is an atrocity; when a Muslim is killed by a Muslim, it is not a big deal
Israel is accessible to the media and Sudan is not
Who cares about Sudan?
The media and the U.N. are inherently anti-Semitic
The numbers in this question are reversed; Darfur conflict is blown out of proportion by Zionist propaganda machine that controls the media and the U.N.
