Bullsh*t to your bullsh*t.
1) Israel and IDF have throughout the war given estimates of combatants killed such as of over 24,000 combatants killed in Gaza (https://t.co/4sMfaTIDTQ), Prime Minister of Israel over 16,000 in May 2024, even the U.S. President “greater than 25,000” (October 2025) 2) Hamas won’t even say many civilians they’ve killed (their rockets, their killing of opposition or innocent civilian in Gaza trying to get to food) which is a part of the 73,000 you repeat and then say Israel has killed “enormous”/too many civilians. 3) Hamas won’t even say how many of their fighters have died which is a part of the 73,000 you repeat and then say Israel has killed “enormous”/too many civilians. Killing the enemy’s fighters in a war is not unlawful or immoral, it is one of the goals. 4) There is no legal requirement for Israel to say how many civilians or combatants have died in Gaza. It is a legal requirement for Israel to not target civilians (there is no evidence of Israel targeting civilians), not conduct indiscriminate attacks (no evidence of Israel conducting indiscriminate attacks), conduct proportionality assessments when targeting combatants (assess military value against incidental harm to civilians and take measure to minimize civilian harm – lots of evidence of Israel doing these assessments and taking historical civilian harm mitigation measures).
As I have told you before, 1) based on the history of urban warfare and comparative analysis 2) based on the HAMAS list of killed in Gaza (even with errors, natural deaths, etc) compared to the IDF/Israel statements on combatants killed throughout the war. - Israel still has a historically low civilian to combatant death ratio in urban warfare compared to any like battle or war. See the detailed analysis you refuse to acknowledge - https://t.co/bnINs3ETSI
3) It is basic math that you can do. One number minus the other.
4) You use numbers without verification or context to vilify Israel’s government and military while saying the same numbers can’t be used to state the obvious, which is the opposite of the demonizing of the IDF that you want it to be.
Your continued use of 70% rubble is also bulls*it. You are quoting Haaretz. Congrats. But like Hamas supporters you take a report and then increase it beyond even the source because you don’t know what you are talking about. Haaretz in July 2025 reported 160,000 buildings, roughly 70% of structures in Gaza had severe damage – not rubble. UNOSAT has other figures of destroyed, severe, moderate, possible. But don’t let those details get in your way of amplifying generalizations, demonization efforts as usual. Of course, there is a lot of rubble in Gaza because of the urban battles and war that has occurred after October 7th. I’ve seen it with my own eyes on 7 trips into Gaza. You have probably been invited by @jconricus at least 7 times to see it yourself but won't go. You just want to keep up with your bulls*it
This is the circular argument I have encountered repeatedly. The original claim was that "civilian deaths cannot be called collateral damage when they are anticipated and quantified." That is legally false and demonstrates the author’s lack of knowledge of the subject. Expected incidental civilian harm is exactly what proportionality assessments and collateral damage estimation are designed to evaluate.
This “analyst” then shifts to a different but familiar argument: the existence of a process does not prove that every strike was lawful. I never said it did. It is evidence of a military applying a process required by the law. Every attack must still be assessed individually based on the information reasonably available to the commander at the time, the anticipated military advantage, the expected civilian harm, and the feasible precautions taken.
None of that proves the analyst’s new claim that Israel was “absolutely killing indiscriminately.” An indiscriminate attack is a separate legal allegation with a defined meaning. What has been reported about the Naza film does not establish that allegation. At most, the film advances a narrative that Israel accepted a high level of collateral damage for certain targets. That claim would still have to be evaluated against the anticipated military advantage, the information available at the time, and the feasible precautions taken for each attack. It is not evidence that Israel attacked indiscriminately. If you are going to make an argument, at least stick to the same unproven allegation.
Repeating words such as “murderous” and “slaughter” is not evidence. If you want to establish that a specific strike was unlawful, provide the target, the intelligence available at the time, the expected military advantage, the anticipated civilian harm, and the precautions taken.
Emotional language does not correct a misunderstanding of the law of armed conflict, warfare, or war.
Lesson: Hate, bias, ignorance, and attempts to change definitions, facts, and standards of evidence do not make a good argument. Not even on X.

The recent news about a Ukrainian counteroffensive liberating several hundred square kilometres of territory around Lyman in eastern Ukraine has come as a pleasant surprise in the midst of the ongoing Russian missile barrages against Ukrainian cities.

Bloße Empörung über den Wahlsieg der AfD ist billig und wohlfeil. Unkontrollierte Migration, gescheiterte Integration, die Gefährdung der Sicherheit durch Islamisten: Die Parteien der Mitte müssen endlich aufwachen

1/ Russian warbloggers are furious that the Russian army has set Vladimir Putin up for public humiliation by claiming falsely that Sviatohirsk has been captured. The army "continues to lie, and the scale of the lies is only increasing," one says. ⬇️

The collapse of the Turkish lira:
When Erdogan became president in 2014, $1 was worth about 2.16 Turkish lira.
Today, $1 is worth about 48 Turkish lira.
The lira has lost roughly 95% of its value against the dollar since Erdogan became president.
It's the second-biggest. But otherwise, this point is absolutely correct. I will never understand--and neither will historians--how Congress allowed this to continue. In all of US history there has never been a greater dereliction of duty. Perhaps in all of history, period.
@Gazanalysis@newlinesmag@7assan3yman@Chrysographer Writing this article without mentioning Hamas and Oct. 7th at all, leaves out important context. The author could at least mention the Egyptian border to Gaza and why this border is at least as closed to Gazans as the Israeli one.
@MGP19_ We don’t want Kaliningrad back. What to do with the Russians there? Ethnically cleanse them? Plus what would we do with all those weapons? Destroy them on our taxpayer’s dime?Then we would have to rebuild the exclave. For whom?
