A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

    And accidentally killing 33% IDF soldiers and destroying every military base next to the Gaza strip. Just pure coincidence.

    Hamas has the civilian casualty rate which israel claims the IDF has. And israel has to lie about it.

      Actually 45% soldiers. 824 civilians were killed and 678 soldiers and police were killed on October 7th, according to Israel.

      Hamas killed soldiers so that they would free to go on their rampage against civilians. Israel accidentally kills civilians as they are trying to fight an enemy that hides behind them and camouflages themselves as civilians precisely to blur the lines between civilians and soldiers. That’s the difference between the two.

        Israel isn’t accidentally killing anyone. They’re stright up murdering civillians. Let’s not pretend the IDF is any better than Hamas.

        So

        Hamas is killing soldiers “so they can go after the civilians”.

        Israel is killing civilians “so they can go after the soldiers.”

            That is very much what you said you are just twisting reality because the numbers don’t fit your narrative. If Hamas wanted to go for maximum civilian casualties they would have attacked deeper into cities.
