    Got it. Shrapnel is not a thing that happens when there are explosions. Weird, I always thought it was a thing and that when you’re in a crowd and the bomb planted on you explodes, that shrapnel goes into all the people around you. But they were probably terrorists too, am I right? After all, they exist in Lebanon and I’m told that existing in Palestine makes one a terrorist and it’s right nearby.

    But the important thing here is that you found a way to make light of dead children and turn it all into a joke. That really makes you look good.

      Are you now suggesting that the average Hezbro came off unharmed, and only the people in the vicinity were hurt?

      Did you see any of the leaked videos? Did you see the remains of exploded devices?

      I’ve got a mild feeling you’re just discarding all the information that’s available to you, instead clinging to some weird unsubstantiated hope that this mostly hit civilians

        No. I am not suggesting that. And the only way you could possibly believe that is what I was suggesting is if you didn’t actually read my post.

          Can you explain how you came to the conclusion that most of the 3500 injured people must have been civilians?

            I did not come to such a conclusion, nor did I make such a claim.

            You are the one who made the claims here:

            Now, you have lied twice that I said that most or all of the injured were civilians. I would not advise you to do it a third time.

              I would advise you to read your own posts again

              Yes, I am claiming most of the injured must have been Hezbro’s. You clearly seem to have taken the opposite position in this post:

              Now your claim is that most or all of the 3500 injured were terrorists? Really?

              When talking about the civilian casualties you claimed I was ignoring:

              the thousands of wounded and the other 10 dead people

              So you have the 2 children (clearly civilians) and the other 10 people wiki states were civilians sandwiching these ‘thousands of wounded’ that I’m ‘ignoring in my calculation’. Why would you add those ‘thousands of wounded that I’m ignoring’ in there if not to claim that they were civilians and not Hezbros??

              Why would you post that first quote if you yourself agree that most of those injured were actually Hezbros and not civilians (something you’re advising me not to challenge)?

              This could all be cleared up really easily if you just say how many of the injured you think are civilians and what you’re basing that on

                Unlike you, I do not act like I know things I obviously can’t know.

                  Me and a few others here are responding to people claiming that this attack “murdered an insane number of civilians”, “killed a majority of civilians”, “was like an anthrax attack” and so on.

                  I’m showing publicly available information and how that leads to me to conclude that the above statements go against all logic.

                  Now, if your final argument is that one can’t really comment on any news from the Middle East because ‘we can’t know’ then yeah, I guess I don’t have any more rebuttal for that

                    I’m really tired of you putting words in my mouth. I think you need to have a discussion with the Flying Squid in your head because you have not been talking to me and I’m sick and tired of correcting you.
