Question: Have Israelis, including military, been dying in this 'war' in any numbers since Oct 7, 2023?

39. Any question may be asked

and asking a question you already know the answer to is a common debating technique. It is used by lawyers every day to argue cases.

If a person says they are "just asking" while actually using the technique as an argument, that is what makes it intellectually dishonest. Intellectual honesty includes a desire for knowledge to reach an undetermined conclusion. it also implies being open to reaching a conclusion you are not happy with, yet accept it is the correct end based on the evidence.

Your follow up post indicated you did know the answer to your question and were attempting to reach a predetermined position. Perhaps that post was simply phrased poorly.

And yes, the answer is obviously Israel has lesser casualties overall. Those who have an agenda use the fact to try and maintain the war is unfair. There are even claims Hamas is no longer fighting. As one famous general said (paraphrased) you don't win by dying for your cause, you make the other dumb bastard die for his cause.
