As an actuary, you must look at details, right? The analysts who reviewed the Hamas Health ministry “complete” numbers found that the same exact names were used dozens of times sometimes for males, sometimes for females. Further, again, the numbers place NO distinctions between combatants and civilians.

Let’s say, for the sake of morbid argument, it’s 50%. If so, that’s a 1:1 ratio of combatant to innocent ratio. Maybe if Hamas wasn’t intentionally fighting among its own civilian population, operating in (and firing rockets from) schools, hospitals, and refugee camps, that number might be different. Interesting, no?

And yet, that would still be a civilian death rate far lower than the armed conflicts and wars in Korea, Persian Gulf, or Iraq which were 74%, 88%, and 67%, respectively.

Thus, is it your position that ALL 38,000 of the reported dead are noncombatants?
If not, what percentage would YOU ascribe?

I’ll wait.
