    In response the Israeli govt has killed over 12,000 Palestinians mostly civilians across Gaza and the West Bank. They’ve bombed ambulances, hospitals, schools, and leveled buildings in their favorite blood-sport, collective punishment. They’re now preparing to annex and occupy Gaza, their terrorist gangs are stealing land and killing farmers in the street with impunity. Hard to give a fuck about Israeli losses regardless of how fucked up and brutal they were when their response has been a campaign of ethnic cleanings and genocide, bombing hospitals, killing children, etc. Makes them no better than Hamas and maybe worse. They have the capacity and intelligence infrastructure to do surgical military operations but have chosen to make the entire population pay instead. It’s lazy and in many cases it looks a lot like war crimes.

      Hard to take someone like you seriously when you spew baseless accusations like this. Especially without a single mention of Hamas the terrorist organization using schools, hospitals, ambulances, and civilian shields to conduct their terror operation.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    JERUSALEM, Nov 10 (Reuters) - A spokesperson for Israel’s foreign ministry said on Friday that the death toll from the Oct. 7 Hamas attack in southern Israel had been revised to around 1,200 from a previous government estimate of 1,400.

    “Around 1,200 is the official number of victims of the October 7 massacre,” spokesperson Lior Haiat said in a written statement.

    Haiat said the figure had been updated on Thursday.

    He did not provide a reason for the revision.

    The death count, which includes foreigners, "is not a final number.

    It might change when (they) identify all the bodies," Haiat said.
