Or if you consider 2+ civilians for every combatant “tremendously positive”.
At that point you’re indicating your goal is to kill civilians, or you have such a low, subhuman view of them that their deaths are inconsequential. Would the IDF consider two Israeli civilians for every Hamas “tremendously positive”?
For context even if we assume Hamas killed everyone who died on October 7th, they still did a better job at not killing civilians. And this is also assuming Israel is actually counting civilians and not just counting all men of “fighting age”.
