    Combat deaths according to whom? The genocidal maniacs who shoot babies for fun? You trust their numbers?

      no the israeli number is 1:1 and the independent sources say anywhere from 5:1 and 8:1, 8:1 being the highest estimate that i’ve seen. i take a middle ground between the israel number and the independent sources because it’s impossible to know the exact number during an on-going war and you have two sides giving two different numbers. clearly there are two very different methodologies to get two totally different numbers and during an on-going conflict it’s impossible to know who is right. but you’re coming at this from a premise that israel is genocidal maniacs which is showing a bias, when the reported numbers are what determines whether they are genocidal maniacs or not. but personally, i would say even with the worse case number from people who have a bias against israel it is not genocidal.
