@SpencerGuard @The_ILF @urbanwarfareins Well done but I would also add the Palestinians have always had the power to stop the war at any time by releasing hostages but the Palestinians choose not to-it cannot be a G Cide when the Palestinians have all the power to end the war but choose not to

@SpencerGuard @The_ILF @urbanwarfareins I read the New York Times piece and honestly, your arguments are starting to hold less and less water, my friend. That from a long time, supporter of Israel, who actually lost family in the holocaust.

@SpencerGuard @The_ILF @urbanwarfareins Just imagine if the Uk had used war planes, bombs and missiles in residential areas in Northern Ireland to defeat the IRA! The Uk got some things wrong in the the fight against the IRA, but the IDF is getting x1000 things more wrong.

John Spencer, Richard Kemp, and Andrew Fox are experts in the field of urban warfare, and I detail their findings in my new book, Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law. In urban warfare, the average militant-to-civilian casualty ratio is about 1 to 9, meaning one militant killed for every nine civilians killed. That's not because every war that's ever been fought is a genocide. It's because war is horrible and urban warfare in particular is horrible. That's why Israel would much prefer to fight Hamas out in the open. It's Hamas who chooses to fight in Gaza underneath its civilian population precisely to increase—not decrease—the number of civilian casualties. In the American war in Iraq and Afghanistan, we and our allies set the gold standard. We had a militant-to-civilian kill ratio of about one to four-and-a-half, maybe one to five, and many experts believed no army would ever be able to meet that standard again. In much more difficult and complicated circumstances, Israel, even if you believe Hamas's bogus numbers—which you should not believe for all the reasons I lay out in the book—but even if you took Hamas at completely face value and you believed all of their numbers, Israel has a militant to civilian kill ratio of about one to one-and-a-half in Gaza. If Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, then the Americans committed genocide in Iraq and Afghanistan, then the Americans and the allies committed genocide in Germany and Japan, and literally every war that has ever been fought in human history has been a genocide. That's not what genocide means. We should reserve the label for the crime of all crimes, because otherwise the consequences will be dire.
