Naw, me seeing you is incidental man, it's still a small Fediverse. It is interesting how often our paths cross though! Never miss a chance to say hello!

Sure, beyond firing at people who are clearly not civilians, I mean it in the sense of picking your areas of battle to avoid further civilian casualty. If Hamas is using these people as human shields and PR fodder, then why not use your superior force to engage and disengage based on that. The Hamas terrorists aren't going anywhere. You can pick and choose your battle conditions and time should only be a factor that opposes them.

You can advance and retreat at your leisure and drain the opponent through attrition. Find an area you know to be clear of civilians and draw the enemy to you. Any of these methods allow you to set the terms of the battle and control the space in a way that most benefits the moral aspect of your cause.

Your literal last comment to a post titled "‘Gaza will be liberated’: Tens of thousands march in S.F. to support Palestinians"

liberated through saturation bombardment maybe

Yikes

Another airstrike hit a house near a school at the Bureji refugee camp in central Gaza on Sunday and staff at Al-Aqsa Hospital told the AP at least 13 people were killed

Does anyone know how many air strikes against refugee camps this makes now? Is it 4 or 5?

Israel sure isn't doing Anthony Blinken any favors. That guy has to have ulcers on his ulcers by now. Maybe fuck him though?

Gotta hedge them votes... I mean bets!

Yeah, I don't know if the voting part matters to them any longer...

Don't ask them what they think about black people. Although maybe ask what they think of Jewish or Muslim black people. Out of curiosity. Probably won't be good.

Don't count those chickens yet. They've got a lot of their own crimes to pardon, so they might try to pull a "patriotism" again.

I believed that to be implicit as neither the US or Israel would abide by the demands of the ICC. Agreed and thanks for helping to clarify the point.

As long as it is an exclusively defensive military, I'd have to agree! Maybe it could go a long way to help people understand each other and that we are all the same.

Last I heard they had a ballot initiative to do an independent citizens redistricting council. It's what happened in Michigan to turn it blue and I think some of the same people and elements were behind it down there. If that's still the case it could be more than their right to control women's bodies on the line, which could explain how blatant and desperate this is.

Edit: I looked it up, the state dragged it's feet so it didn't make it on this year. 2024 hopefully!

^You don't even want to know what this guy would do to save hostages.

Women and children accounted for 3 out of 5 last I heard (hypothetical child soldiers not withstanding). I believe the ratio is 2 children and one woman, so if we speculate that 4th person is just another civilian male, then 1 out of 5 maybe? Do you think that sounds correct?

Would a ground campaign of selective engagement of hostile targets not lower that number? I mean, when someone shoots at you, or has a gun or is in front of you in a terror tunnel (hostages not withstanding) doesn't that lead to a much lower toll? Israel fields one of the best trained and equipped forces in the world. How could they not have conducted this with the support of very limited/targeted strikes? This is a legitimate question that is being asked globally. You don't think what I just laid out was possible?

How does her language not do that? Is it not polite enough? If a genocide occurs, which the UN is constantly warning about, then does the US and Biden, who have offered their full support, not hold any culpability in that? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding?

You think @Rapidcreek might stalk his neighborhood? I dunno, he seems nice. I suppose you never know whose stalking about though...

What terrorist organization would you accept the numbers from?

I'm asking for their opinion, how is that nonsense? I was specific in the context of the situation, so there really aren't that many variables. I even volunteered the main things that would account for exceptions. What would you say with the specifics at hand?

They said they do have an opinion on it. They mention those numbers aren't out of line with previous conflicts, so does that make the current ratios normal? If we're here to discuss these topics, then why not this one? How is this anymore taboo then a thread about an ambulance convoy being targeted?

The past wars in Gaza or the proportion of civilian deaths in wars in general? I understand that it's your personal opinion that's why I was curious. 1/5, maybe 1/10? That's not a lot, is it? Do you feel that changes with the importance of target? Does it have to be important targets or are there acceptable numbers that you'd attach to any combatant?
