I will need to see concrete evidence that these people were, in fact, members of the terrorist resistance before I believe claims that they were. However, we are currently assuming that all claims of terrorists being present are true for every strike. I would like you to know that I selected these strikes at random.

  • This claim states that there were 19 terrorists and 93 total killed at the Al-Tabi’in mosque and school on 08/10/24. Survivors state that most of the casualties were women and children. That means there was a 79.6% civilian casualty rate.
  • This claim states that there were 9 confirmed Hamas casualties of 40 killed at a school in the Nuseirat refugee camp on 06/06/24. The casualties were described as children and elderly, and this strike was verified by the source as using US munitions. That means there was a 77.5% civilian casualty rate.
  • This source claims that there have been (as of 07/06/24) 343 IDF soldiers killed and 38,000 confirmed Palestinian deaths with Israel claiming 1/3 of deaths are combatants. 66% civilian casualty rate since October 7th.

I will ask again: what is the acceptable child to terrorist death ratio?

I will ask again: what is the acceptable child to terrorist death ratio?

I read earlier this year that Israel considered 100 civilian deaths for one Hamas fighter a fair trade. I can't find the exact article, but it was about their use of AI in deciding targets. According to this article a "10% failure rate" is totally acceptable. So, anywhere between 9-1 and 100-1 is within parameters. Children are a points multiplier.

10% failure rate implies they fail to hit a millitant 1-10 times no?

I would assume success isn't bombing random people.

I couldn't find the article i was looking for, and it's basically a rhetorical nswer to a rhetorical question. So, please take my cheek with a grain of salt.
