NETANYAHU: I think that any civilian loss, any civilian casualty is a tragedy, and it's a tragedy that is forced upon us by Hamas. But let me tell you something. I'd be cautious with the Hamas statistics. And I can tell you that, according to these urban warfare experts and other commentators, we've brought down the civilian-to-terrorist casualties, the ratio, down below 1-1, which is considerably less than in any other theater of similar warfare. And we're going to do more. We're going to provide...
KARL: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You're saying it's only been one civilian that's been killed for one Hamas terrorist, in Gaza?
NETANYAHU: Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. Yes. We have killed -- we've killed and wounded over 20,000 Hamas terrorists, out of that about 12,000 -- 12,000 fighters. And we're doing everything we can to minimize civilian casualties and continue to do so. But one thing we're not going to do is we're not going to let Hamas emerge victorious.
And if we leave, it will be a tremendous victory for the Iran terror axis. It's bad for everyone.

Not a bad ratio...
Netanyahu should tell Biden that Israel will leave the Gaza Strip right after American troops leave Iraq.
Netanyahu negotiates with Hamas in their language: killing.
Oh yea
Cue the simpletons: “See! Israel is killing civilians! Even one death is too many! Stop the slaughter!”
I give them about 3 minutes before we see headlines denouncing Israel for their admitted atrocities.
1) How many of them are terrorists? Recent reports show at least 12,600 of them are and Hamas doesn't distinguish between terrorists and civilians 2) They are still using Hamas for numbers, an org that has lied about casualty counts and used Human shields.Quote Jonathan Choe Journalist (Seattle) @choeshow · 15h Targeting Biden: Massive scroll laid out allegedly showing names of Palestinian casualties in Israel-Hamas war. Usual crush of FAR-LEFT activists in crowd are fueling protest outside University of Washington Station in Seattle.
I think people better prepare themselves to the US having to do something similar in the not too distant future. 80 years of hiding behind our nuclear shield and playing pretend at war is going to end. The West has forgotten what real war looks like.
Sounds like a 2 for 1 sale to me
Absolutely
