  1. The number of 61 fatalities does not convey the magnitude of the loss. Israel is a small country. To put make it proportional to American the number must be multiplied by a factor of around 50. This would make it 3000, more than the 2200 Americans lost in Afghanistan.

    In addition in a war where one side places a high value on human life and the other a lower value, the casualties are lopsided, whether in Gaza or Afghanistan. Also in both places the harm to “non-combatants” has been substantial.

  2. #1 Are u reality based? Or living in a cave.

    Tunnels& rocket launchers should just continue as normal I suppose to kill, injure & destroy Jewish cities & yishuvim…… Since it’s all political..
