    There's not a lot he can do about the replies granted, but it gives you an indication of his audience. There's quite a lot he can do about labelling the UN as Anti-Semitic and there's also quite a lot he can do not to manipulate the data to claim that EVERY male death of combatant age is thus a combatant and then arrive at a 1:1 kill ratio.

    74% Civilian death rate is a 'fairly impressively low ratio' ?

    Dunno in what world 74% civilian death rate is impressive

    but I note your use of the word ‘war’ in commas, as it’s never been a war, it’s simply an assault.

    If one side bases itself among the civilian population you inevitably ger an increse in civilian deaths particularly when the other side has a massive tech advantage they can use to minimise their casualties i.e. instead of a ground assault you just attack using aerial wespons

    That’ll be the 1:1 then.

    The UN is dodgy as **** when it comes to Hamas and have done remarkably little for the hostages.

    I’m not saying it’s perfect dissertation-type analysis but it’s better than pointless headline numbers.

    Any tweet from anyone with a reasonable following on anything to do with Israel or Palestine gets some absolutely mental replies. That’s just Twitter.

    That would be scraping a Desmond.

    I think I got 66% in the end which was disappointing as I missed the 3-2 Aguero game to revise for my final exam the next day and could have sacked it off and scraped the 60.

    The headline figures aren’t just plucked out of thin air though. They come from reliable sources on the ground.

    There’s always going to be dispute about the actual figures. But your man claiming that every male death of combatant age is a Hamas soldier is plainly skewed to ****.

    Agree about twitter though, it’s a ****ing cess pit.

    Just had a quick read. Bangkok is well away from the epicentre so looks like Myanmar is well ****ed.

    Why do you think she feels the way she does? What events led to her being so angry?

    There should be sadness and sympathy, you are right.

    But there should also be a sense of relief if indeed it is true that fewer civilians died than previously assumed. Nothing to do with which 'side' a person supports or opposes. Fewer innocent deaths = a good thing. It's very simple.

    I've noticed a worrying trend (not necessarily on here although some are very close to it) to want more civilian deaths, so that the levels of criticism against Israel can increase. This is typical of the school of thought that uses Palestinians as pawns to be manipulated towards a political outcome, i.e. the same ideology as Hamas.
