(26,314 posts)It is a portion or a percentage.
No, a large percentage of the Gazan much less the total Palestinian population has not been a casualty by any possible count much less those killed and even less so when the operatives that desperately need to be wiped out are subtracted (though they seldom are and are just counted as "innocent civilians" in a breathless and utterly shameless lie).
What toll there is is very significantly magnified by the terrorist being embedded in the civilian population and often by the "civilian" population acting as human shields both willingly and by force or coercion or even as we saw during the rescue some effectively acting as reservists to be called up in a heartbeat's notice to both opening their homes to act as prison camps as well as taking up arms to keep or kill hostages and their rescuers.
Hamas needs to accept the more than way too generous ceasefire terms and really need to unconditionally surrender as a defeated aggressor is required to in order to end hostilities, the rest is a bunch of foolishness that rewards and emboldens this backwash.
