2014 Syrian civil war dead -- 39,000 ... Or maybe 76,000

“More than 39,000 people were killed since the beginning of 2014 during Syria’s ongoing civil war, a Syrian human rights body said Friday.

“According to the Syrian Network of Human Rights, at least 39,021 people were killed during the conflict in the strife-ridden country this year.

“Forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad’s government killed 32,507 of the total toll.”

“The Syrian civil war was responsible for the deaths of 76,021 people in 2014 alone, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. And nearly half of the dead were civilians.”

(If Arabs could blame Israel, the number would be around 500,000.)
