    But they have the testicles of their soon to be born sons.

    I would say whether it’s greater than 1 or lesser than 1 is inconclusive without accurate data .

    You would need to find out whether amount of men with removed testicles is greater than amount of women pregnant with a boy (after the average week when testicles appear). Also men to women ratio in global population needs to be accounted for.













  • I absolutely agree that they can (looking only at military capability) wipe the floor with Palestine with indiscriminate bombardment in a few days.

    But saying that not using that ability means they do enough to avoid civilian casualties is a pretty big jump in logic.

    Military ability isn’t everything, geopolitics and market dependance exist. if they actually did that immediately, the response from international community wouldn’t be as mild as it’s now. So they actually can’t.

    What I am saying is that there’s a full gradient of effort when it comes to avoiding or encouraging civilian casualties (and not giving a damn about them is in the middle).

    The voices of Israeli ruling politicians before and after the start of this year’s conflict doesn’t exactly inspire a confidence that enough is being done to prevent them. Some used strategies even increase them unnecessarily with doubtful military gains.


  • I don’t think that things are black and white here. But I have to agree a little.

    Israel did become a nationalistic autocracy and has deeply corrupt leadership. Still, not doing anything when they were attacked on the scale Hamas recently did, would be just stupid.

    The problem is that they should have kept the civilian casualties to minimum. Ideally under the amount of Israelis that died tho deflate grudges over time and show some degree of good will.

    Then again Hamas has never shown such incentive. And differentiating between Palestine civilians and Hamas collaborators or members is not an easy binary task.
