Quote is confusing because we are changing denominators in going from first assertion to second. I don't know enough about the demographics to know how misleading it might be, but sense it is somewhat the case considering the source. That's all I'm saying. I read it like Bonney did first couple times, which I think is normal since that's how an honest communication of such figures would normally be presented, but upon closer inspection doesn't look that way.

Your confusion terrifies me, brother

Contrary to Peter Todd's claims, even Israeli politicians and military leaders have been open about targeting civilians since the beginning of the war:

The Palestinian health ministry has reported mostly civilian deaths from day 1 and Hamas has never refuted that, and why would they?

Peter Todd presented it exactly backwards and attached a random link mentioning a percentage to waste time, and it worked. That's not good

Confusion was simply about how poor the quote/stats presentation was. It's possible it was meant the way Peter and vinney (and myself originally) read it, accurate or not, but the more I read it I saw what looked like dishonest stats. Why I say I agree with you nitpicking.

As for all the rest, I don't know all that much about it, just what I hear online now and then. I'll check out your links briefly though, then move on with my life
