(535 posts)For one thing, I'd subtract 500 from the "hospital bombing" from that number at the very least. And subtract the number of Hamas militants, maybe 1,000 as a wild guess. And subtract the number of Palestinians killed by Hamas, maybe another 1,000 as a wild guess.
Then they exaggerate their numbers. For example they claimed 500 killed in the "hospital bombing" when it'd be a maximum of 50 (likely less) in that parking lot, so a factor of 10 to 1. 11,000 - 450 (hospital) -1,000 militants - 1,000 Palestinians = 8,500 / 10 = 850 Palestinians killed. But even then, those 850 died because Hamas used them as shields and put them in danger.
War is ugly for either side. But it's a last resort and I don't see any other solution.
Hamas can surrender at anytime and the war will be over.
