Are we talking total or combatants only? Cause if we’re talking total it’s more like 200:1

Are we talking facts or just a rough guess

this is total based on the most recent confirmed numbers I could find. that said, the real ratio is probably closer to your number. Either way, very illuminating

If we’re talking combatants only it’s around 10:1. It’s normal for guerrilla forces to take way more casualties but the difference between those ratios is telling

Also I don’t think we should be using the “confirmed” numbers because Israel has destroyed the health ministry’s ability to keep counting deaths. I’ve seen an estimate from Harvard stating that Gaza’s population has declined by about 400,000 since October 7

I agree, but my audience with this post is people who support Israel, so I’m using a number from a source they should accept, which is already heinous
