Well, Hamas needs to cease fire, too. yagotme Oct 2023 #41

Your call for the elimination of Hamas would cost tens of thousands of innocents' lives. Magoo48 Oct 2023 #39

Improper comparison: yagotme Oct 2023 #42

I doubt bombing densely populated areas is the best way to defeat Hamas IronLionZion Oct 2023 #6

I doubt Hamas is hiding out in the countryside in Gaza EX500rider Oct 2023 #7

Very few Wars have only Soldier casualties EX500rider Oct 2023 #9

Collective punishment is a war crime IronLionZion Oct 2023 #10

If Hamas is hiding in residential areas it is not EX500rider Oct 2023 #11

Of course we won't know exactly. I was wondering what ratio would be OK if we had correct numbers. TheRickles Oct 2023 #24

I think the responsibility to get the civilians out of harms way is on their government EX500rider Oct 2023 #25

Yes, lots of gray areas that are hard/impossible to calculate. TheRickles Oct 2023 #36
