So let’s do some maths:

Israel’s military estimates that out of the 13,000 or so Palestinians it has killed in seven weeks, 1,000 - 2,000 of them are Hamas fighters.

They estimate about 30,000 Hamas fighters in total and their stated goal is to wipe out Hamas entirely.

Given the current ratio of deaths, how many Palestinians will they have to kill to wipe out Hamas?

Answer: 195,000 - 390,000

(But don’t call it genocide.)

IDF messaging suggests Gaza truce unlikely to last much beyond Tuesday

Many expect pause to be extended if more hostages are released, but experts predict military campaign could run into next year

@aral even worse, if it's 2000 terrorists, by killing 5000 children, it means that for every terrorist, 2.5 children die. That's like if every terrorist went out to fight holding hands with 2 kids, and the IDF killed them both before shooting the terrorist. It's only fair to call both sides terrorists at this point! #boycottisrael #BoycottIsraelApartheid
