A more precise picture of Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel has emerged from social security data, confirming the unprecedented scale of the violence but also challenging some initial testimonies.
67% civilian casualties is a universally abhorrent figure
Is it? I mean civilians getting killed is bad no matter the number, and I’m not denying Hamas soldiers committed war crimes, but for example in Iraq the US coalition’s percentage was 77%.
My man you better not start reading about American civilian casualty figures. And ESPECIALLY not about israel ones.
Also most israeli civilians are IDF reservists so they are in fact uncounted soldiers. The IDF just called up 300.000 “innocent civilians” to commit genocide in Gaza? lmao.
The best number is how little children were killed in compared to the total amount of people.
~ 1/3 military kills is definitely not “indiscriminately killing”. These numbers change everything.
It’s not a mass murder anymore. Oct7 was a justified targeted retaliation.
67% civilian casualties is a universally abhorrent figure, and shows a complete disregard for the value of innocent human lives.
Also, mass murder is generally defined as the killing of 3 or more persons at a time. Not exactly a high bar.

Justified retaliation, and an operation meant to get concessions out of Israel for Gazans. That’s why they took the hostages.
