0:00.0 | If you just take Hamas's number of casualties, 30,000, and call them all civilians, or almost all civilians, |
0:06.6 | then you're looking at an extreme imbalance of civilians to fighters, and that's the public perception. |
0:12.3 | If you just take Hamas's number, 6,000, you still have |
0:16.2 | what we call the missing men problem. You either have essentially no civilian men dying or the idea that all civilian men are Hamas and neither |

1:27.2 | that have been killed. And while the remaining 17,000 civilian deaths, are extremely tragic. |
1:33.8 | A ratio of 1 to 1.4, especially in a battlefield designed to optimize the number of |
