Continued from previous post:
In early July, Israeli forces descended with heavy machinery on another hilltop in the West Bank — this time to demolish an illegal settler outpost. Young men at Givat Tzur Harel, north of Ramallah,clashed with security forces as they razed several structures.
It was a rare example of Israeli authorities cracking down on illegal building by Jewish settlers. “Whenever an outpost is demolished, it is usually rebuilt within an hour to a day,” said Arik Ascherman, a rabbi from Torat Tzedek, an Israeli rights group.
The police would leave and the young settlers would return, said one teenager. His friend Haggai, 17, said he hoped the new civilian administration headed by Roth would be more lenient.
A fundraising drive for the “heroes who colonize the land of Tzur Harel” quickly raised thousands of shekels.
“The day will come when this place will be a settlement,” said Haggai, who declined to give his last name. “We have four directions to advance. All of the Land of Israel should belong to the Jews.”
so a couple days ago it was reported idf had found several dead hostages somewhere in gaza. idf said to not jump to conclusions about how they died......

So on his 1st and only term Hamas was not a thing! Why didn’t he negotiate a peace deal when he was the president oh yeah I forgot Jarred dear boy was in charge of ME affairs! What did he accomplish the movement of the embassy? But no peace deal?

i am pretty sure that the movement of the embassy was one of the catalysts for the 10/7 attacks. it pissed off a LOT on non-israelis.

U.S. woman fatally shot at West Bank protest; witnesses say IDF shot her
The Israel Defense Forces said it was “looking into reports that a foreign national was killed as a result of shots fired in the area.”
An American woman was killed Friday in the occupied West Bank, the State Department said. Two witnesses said the woman was shot in the head by Israeli forces who had opened fire.
The woman, Aysenur Eygi, a 26-year old volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement, a pro-Palestinian activist group, had been attending a protest against Jewish settlement expansion in the town of Beita when she was shot, her colleagues said. Copies of her passport that circulated online said she was born in Turkey and the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement that she was a citizen.
The Israel Defense Forces said it was “looking into reports that a foreign national was killed as a result of shots fired in the area.” The statement said that Israeli forces in the area of Beita, in the northern West Bank, “responded with fire toward a main instigator of violent activity who hurled rocks at the forces and posed a threat to them.”
“The details of the incident and the circumstances in which she was hit are under review,” it said.
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement that the United States was “aware of the tragic death of an American citizen, Aysenur Eygi, today in the West Bank.”
“We offer our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. We are urgently gathering more information about the circumstances of her death, and will have more to say as we learn more. We have no higher priority than the safety and security of American citizens,” Miller said.
Jonathan Pollak, a volunteer with ISM, said the shooting took place about 30 minutes after protesters had dispersed, at a time when there were no active clashes taking place, and as foreign volunteers, including Eygi, stood observing at a distance of about 200 yards from the Israeli military.
“There was no justification for taking that shot,” he said.
When he and his colleagues arrived in Beita on Friday, soldiers were already deployed around a site where people were set to perform Friday prayers, he said. As soon as the prayers were over, “clashes began,” he said. The soldiers used tear gas and live ammunition “almost immediately.” There was also “stone throwing” at the soldiers, he said.
The ISM activists retreated some distance away, down a hill, some 200 yards from the town where the soldiers were stationed. “We stood there for about half an hour,” he said. The soldiers took over a rooftop in the town, “a controlling rooftop” he said. Eygi was in an olive grove, according to Pollak and another ISM volunteer who spoke on condition she be identified by her first name, Mariam, for fear of retribution.
“I didn’t see her at the moment of the shooting because I was looking at the soldiers," said Pollak, referring to Eygi. "I saw the soldiers shooting. I saw the flare, I saw them aiming,” he said. Both he and Mariam said there were two shots – one that struck a metal object, and another that hit Eygi in the head.
“We were clearly visible to the army, there was nothing happening where were standing,” said Mariam. “We were internationals,” she said adding that Palestinian youth who had clashed with the soldiers were much further away, up the hill. “We were just standing there,” she said.

At least 41.182 Palestinians has killed since 7 October..
How many of those were Hamas deliberately hiding behind? This is far from cut-and-dried.
I'm sure the families are understanding of your little asterisk.
How many of the 41,000 were combatants? Hamas makes no distinction.
27,180 were women and children, if you believe the reporting that 2/3 were such, leaving 14,002 Hamas combatants.
Those are the numbers Hamas has released, correct? Personally I need those numbers independently verified before I can accept them. If those aren’t numbers from Hamas I would genuinely be interested in your source.
Where does the doctor who was holding Israelis for Hamas fall in their count?

Thank you, sadly the best source seems to be Wikipedia. Two of the others use Hamas' numbers and the other is from May.
I don't think either of my questions has been answered to my own satisfaction, and I'm not sure they truly can be answered but I believe they are extremely relevant to this conversation.

Why do you doubt the Ministry of Health numbers? What would your own satisfaction consist of? Bodies lined up in neat rows with 3 independent outside organizations counting and comparing notes?
I’d fathom it’s much higher than we know or realize based on the widespread flattening of buildings.

I've read enough of your posts to know you're smart and informed, so surely you must be aware that the Ministry of Health that you trust is part of the Hamas government. A government who has openly stated they want as many civilian casualties of their own citizens to achieve their so-called political goals. That is why I can't trust that organization's numbers.
I honestly don't know what would completely satisfy me on this because no war ever yields a definitive body count, and I'm not going to guess at the actual body count.
As I said earlier this is far from cut-and-dried, despite efforts on both sides to make it so.

Do you hold the Israeli government to the same standard? Or do you just “trust” them, because?
