Russia is losing 2000-2500 men/day invading Ukraine.

1-2 months of those casualties seems to be non-excessive in an operation to destroy a military that given the chance comes to murder and rape unrestricted (as proven on October 7th).

To quote wikipedia

A May 2025 investigation found that a classified IDF database listed 8,900 Palestinian fighters as dead or likely dead, or 17% of the 53,000 death toll at the time

Which seems sensible since hamas likes using human shields.

Should Isreal have the goal to exterminate all Palestinians, the numbers would be much much worse.

Out of 2 million. And how many of those were soldiers/fighters?

Or time to start the real genocide, since they have less to lose, and people cried wolf anyway.

Also, they will have less budget for fancy interceptors from hamas rockets.

People called me far right when i said free speech includes hate speech. Because the definition of hate speech is too easy for the government to change and abuse.

Your argument is different from moving under your own power. Still, i think you’re drawing arbitrary lines for a challenge. Because a boat also enables you to move faster with less effort.

Frankly even shoes do that.

With this logic, he could have bicycled.

Just gonna be devils advocate here: before October 7th, what percentage of the gaza population was under 18? It was nearly half: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/19/1206479861/israel-gaza-hamas-children-population-war-palestinians

Also, October 7th could be seen as a declaration of war, and Palestinians didn’t really follow humanitarian conventions on that invasion.

I always found it strange Palestinine gets so much attention and not the west bank. The west bank did everything right, are peaceful, surrendered for decades like a defeated people is supposed to do. And Israel still treats them like trash, occupies their houses and does general unjustifiable stuff there.
