You think that’s some kind of gotcha. It isn’t.

Strange how this talk of “collateral” damage only applies to when Israelis kill civilians and not when, say, Hamas or Hezbollah do it.
Using your own despicable and dehumanizing approach, October the 7th merely had 797 “collateral victims” for the 379 legitimate Israeli security forces targets. And after all, the 2:1 civilian to military casualties ratio is basically the same as the IDF’s own record in Gaza.
Ah what to do, such is war…
No.
Fuck that barbaric way of devaluing the loss of human life.
Source: IDF said trust me bro.
Netanyahu desperately needs a regional war. How many people must die so that this bag of shit doesn’t face an Israeli judge for his scandals?
If the third parties abide by Brazilian law, they should have legal representation in the country and therefore can be pursued for circumventing the law?
And your evidence that Israel only targetted active duty Hezbollah combattants?
What a load of ghoulish warmongering. Oh it’s war? If Hezbollah had done this to Israelis, the world would be crying blood and vowing for Israel’s right to defend itself.
Jew media
Fuck off.
So like killing a “handful” of Israeli civilians would be “exceptionally good” if the target was a bunch of IDF reservists?
So, like, are Israeli reservists fair game for terror attacks?
None of them electoral politicians, like the ones we’re talking about here. Try again.
I thought originally that you were suggesting a simple syntactic manipulation of the fraction but you’re not. I don’t understand why the equation you propose is reasonable.
The amount “civilians” in your calculations is tricky. The first time it appears it refers to dead civilians, the second time it appears to the overall civilian population (hence the 1/2 using the rule of thumb that half of Gazans are under 18).
I.e you can’t say
#deadKids/#allDead = #deadCivilians/#allDead * #deadKids/#allCivilians
Because #deadCivilians << #allCivilians
Like @filister@lemmy.world said above, it’s 2:1 adults to children, not combatants to non-combattants.
Something something they voted 20 years ago. /s
It’s actually genocidal language…
Phew. So, like, this is OK, right? Nothing to to see here, move along? Nothing to worry about 15000 (fifteen fucking thousand, like fifteen times a thousand, something like a thousand times my kid’s classroom size) dead kids, because it’s not out of the ordinary for urban warfare conducted in a manner intended to reduce civilian casualties? Thanks man, that really will help me sleep at peace with my conscience tonight.
(If we were talking about 15000 dead Israeli kids, we’d be -rightfully- freaking the fuck out. But 15k of those other kids, that’s fair game. Super ethical too.)
Easy. Is come from the grrrreek word χειμώνα, is mean winter. What do you put on in the winter when it’s cold? A kimono. There you go.
Give me any word, any word 😆
Also, yes, good idea pointing out xenophobia. We Greeks keep complaining about both the demographic problem and the influx of immigrants. Our problem is not that there are fewer babies, it’s that there are fewer babies of the right kind. There is some hope as second generation immigrants are normalizing different ways of being Greek (like the Antetokounmpos). Who knows what 10 years down the road looks like.
The unsaid implication of your loaded question is that the absence of a Palestinian state is “the fault of the Palestinians”. The further implication is that “Israel has no partner for peace” even now. Basically, the implication being we need to keep doing whatever the Israeli right wants in perpetuity.
If by some miracle you’re not just parroting right wing pro-Israeli talking points, please elaborate what the hell you mean with your question instead.
