First of all, I thank you. I appreciate your crystal clear answers to my questions.
I also appreciate your own excellent questions. Yes, I agree that there are moral and legal limits to how every nation conducts war. And yes, even though *both* Israel and Hamas (via UNRWA) receive US funding, I'd argue that anyone would have the right to discuss it even if there was no US funding of either side. I simply personally prefer that it be in a separate forum from the rest of LT, but that's a different thread! Yes, there is a war in Gaza. Hamas' war goals, which come from its charter, are to eliminate Israel and all Jews. Hamas has publicly stated their desire to repeat October 7th over and over again. Israel's war goals are: (1) dismantle Hamas's military and governmental capabilities, and (2) secure the release of the hostages. I believe Israel's war aims to be legitimate. I also believe that there is no *intentional* effort to kill Gazan civilians, but that this effort is greatly complicated by Hamas' use of civilian facilities, such as hospitals and schools, as military facilities (which reclassifies them as valid military targets under international law). You may also be interested in the Henry Jackson Society report <https://5a55e4ca.streaklinks.com/CQwE0wAPT2OeJVbPQANrhxLX/https%3A%2F%2Fhenryjacksonsociety.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F12%2FHJS-Questionable-Counting->, which did incredible work analyzing Hamas' own published fatality data. You probably already knew that Hamas does not differentiate when reporting civilian and combatant deaths. The HJS report, however, went much deeper and is painstakingly detailed: - Many male deaths in Gaza were falsified as female deaths, and adult deaths were falsified as child deaths, potentially to exaggerate the perceived impact of the war on Gazan civilians. - A large number of cancer fatalities were falsified as war casualties. - There are substantial statistical anomalies in the Hamas-reported casualty data. For example, on some days, the number of reported child fatalities was larger than the total number of reported fatalities. Also, on days where heavy battles took place, the number of fighting-age male fatalities is much lower than on days where there was relatively light fighting, which doesn't fit casualty data from other wars, nor with common sense. This also isn't the first time that Hamas has misstated its fatality numbers. During Operation Cast Lead in 2008, Hamas initially reported that only 48 of 1,200 Gazan casualties were combatants. A year later, Hamas admitted publicly that about 600-700 of the casualties were combatants. It's possible that Hamas will ultimately restate its casualties from this war as well. Here's hoping that Hamas chooses to surrender and release the hostages, so that the suffering for both Gazans and Israelis may cease. ᐧ On Fri, Jan 3, 2025 at 8:24 AM Paul Shorb <paul.sh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Jonathan - > I wasn't trying to censor you; the LT moderators decide when to cut off a > one-on-one debate, not me.
