Perhaps one of you can explain to me the value of these statistics.
Is there a percentage where I can feel ok with the casualties? The percentage on the Israeli side is much more military than civilian, but why don't I feel good about that?
And if the point is that Hamas would lie about the percentages, then we already knew that. The IDF lies about operations and outcomes as well. The US lies about terrorists being present at the weddings it bombs. All these "official" mouthpieces lie. Nobody here has the moral high ground, and for those with limited empathy these are just distractions from the bigger picture.
Honestly, this type of exercise seems nothing more than a way to value some human lives more than others. It's rank tribalism and I find it rather appalling.
