Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) noted that "of the 17,000 Palestinians killed by Israel since the war began, two-thirds have been civilians. This is nearly ten times the 1,200 civilians killed by Hamas freedom fighters in their October 7 surprise attack. This kind of imbalance cannot be excused. It's time for a permanent ceasefire."
In the two months since Israel has struck back against Hamas, the media has amplified the collateral damage of their efforts to defeat the Hamas terror network. No effort has been made to put things in context. First of all, the Hamas attack of October 7 intentionally selected soft civilian targets--including the "strategic" rape and decapitation of women and children. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intentionally select armed militant targets. The Hamas militants intentionally use Gaza civilians as shields by placing their fighters and weapons inside of hospitals, schools, and civilian neighborhoods. This increases the civilian casualty toll.
The ratio of two civilians killed per enemy fighter killed by the IDF is atypically low by modern warfare standards. Former commander of British forces in Afghanistan Col. Richard Kemp points out that "the UN estimates that the civilian-to-combatant death ratio in conflicts since the Second World War averages nine to one. That is a shocking nine civilians killed for every combatant. The IDF has managed to achieve a historically low two-to-one death ratio despite the reality that Hamas fights from within the civilian population, uses human shields, and deliberately tries to force the IDF to kill as many of their civilians as possible. This is so the world turns on Israel and falsely condemns it for war crimes."
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is demanding that "Israel wrap up its war by the end of this year. President Biden is facing a tough race to be reelected. Two key Democrat constituencies are Jewish and Muslim voters. Right now polls show he is losing the votes of both. A ceasefire followed by the establishment of a Palestinian state bracketing Israel on the east and west would help him regain the confidence of voters."

Well gee whiz paypal! DEMAND EQUITY! That’s what “normal” folks would do. Fookin’ idjit!
“Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) noted that “of the 17,000 Palestinians killed by Israel since the war began, two-thirds have been civilians”
So Hamas says. They lie, lie some more and then lie about their lies. The koran, a war manual, instructs them to lie. There is no credible way to know the number of casualties.
Two thirds of casualties do not wear Hamas uniforms or carry Hamas ID cards.
Yes, DemocRATs are:
A: Corrupt
B: Stupid
C: Naive
D: Slimy
E: All of the above.
Oh, that’s right. There are no Hamas uniforms or ID. That makes them all technically “civilians”. So the term is meaningless here.
Hamas and Palestinians do not distinguish between their soldiers and civilian deaths....nor if they die from the war... all deaths are contributed to this war with Israel.
Exactly.
Hamas might be given a day of ceasefire if it agrees to use it to entirely search its area of control for hostages held by irregulars and return them to Israel.
If no hostages were being held, then Israel could pursue its remaining objectives (including dealing with war criminals) at a more measured pace.
Having Hamas deal with irregulars would reduce the chance of hostages getting killed at the approach of Israeli forces.
Hamas could pile up its arms and those of irregulars for Israeli collection.
If Gaza had no Arab arms, Israeli forces would have no reason to shoot or bomb.
Why do you shoot or bomb, IDF member?
Because someone is shooting at an IDF member.
The Fakestinians use “civilians” including children and women as human shields for their terrorist murder gangsters to hide behind. The IDF protects enemy “civilians” in multiple ways including radio advisories, internet warnings, air-dropping thousands and thousands of guides to safety, audio warnings to leave battle zones , identifying an guarding safe roads, and providing sanctuary assembly areas for them. Hamas terrorists fire live rounds at their so-called civilian neighbors, even blocking the safe routes to prevent losing the terrorists’ human shields.
At any event, there will be no “ceasefire” to save the terrorists (who, it must be said, are still firing rocket bombs at Israeli cities and schools). The Fakestinian murder gangsters and their enablers will be eliminated.
When Israel gets close to those numbers, let me know.
60% of Palestinians support Hamas. The remaining 40% support one of the 9 other Palestinian terrorist organizations. Seems proportional to me.
Did you catch this: The faces of the FBI agents’ faces are going to be blurred in the soon-to-be-released Jan. 6 videos.
FBI Agents at Jan 6 Riot
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La) says that “at least 200 FBI agents dressed as Trump supporters were in the crowd on January 6, 2021. The FBI’s involvement was deep, not just on January 6, but on the days and weeks and months prior. There was no sign that they attempted to mitigate or defuse the situation. What was their objective?”
Former 3rd Special Forces Group soldier and US government contractor Jeffrey McKellop said he “was able to identify numerous government informants and agitators in the January 6 crowd. How do I know this? Because I used to do the same thing when I worked for the government.”
Former US Capitol Police Lieutenant Tarik Johnson, who was present at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, says “The authorities on the ground were ill-prepared for what happened. I will be releasing audio recordings that could prove that the prevailing media narrative of a Trump-inspired insurrection is false. It may have been a ‘set-up’ that the media and government are trying to cover up.”
Following these assertions, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La) announced that “we have to blur some faces in the videos we are releasing of persons who participated in the events of that day because FBI Director Christopher Wray informs me that the Bureau’s ability to conduct covert surveillance in the future could be compromised if agents’ identities are exposed to the general public.”
There was a permanent ceasefire…until October 7. This traitor should learn when it’s best to STFU.
First; “the UN estimates that the civilian-to-combatant death ratio in conflicts since the Second World War averages nine to one. That is a shocking nine civilians killed for every combatant. The IDF has managed to achieve a historically low two-to-one death ratio despite the reality that Hamas fights from within the civilian population, uses human shields, and deliberately tries to force the IDF to kill as many of their civilians as possible. This is so the world turns on Israel and falsely condemns it for war crimes.”
The second thing is the reason that no Middle Eastern Country wants any Palestinian refugees. When they were allowed in Jordan, they plotted to overthrow that government. Same with Syria, Same with Lebanon, same with Egypt. So Jay-no-brains, why is the typical Palestinian so prone to overthrowing governments that other countries will not accept them as refugees? Well part of it is that they have been indoctrinated from a very young age to fight and kill Jews. The IDF is simply honoring the martyrdom wishes of all those Palestinians and Hamas is placing them between themselves and the IDF to speed up the martyrdom process.
Jayapal is a clown.
