Hamas killed around 1100 israelis on Oct 7.

Israel killed at least 122 of the 1200 themselves. Most likely more

350 of the israelis killed were IDF

This mean the civilian casualty rate was around 70%. On Oct 7.

Hamas has a far better civilian casualty rate than America which goes around 80-90 while committing their supposed genocide attack. This is not an accident you can realize by blind firing into civilian areas.

Purely from these numbers we can conclude in ACTIONS not words that Hamas takes decent care to avoid civilian deaths even when attacking. Far better than israel which just bombs everything that moves.
