He said at least once or twice daily, there were “mass casualty incidents,” meaning that 10 to 20 people were killed and up to 40 seriously injured. He estimated that at least 60 percent of the people treated at these times were women and children.
The 62-year-old surgeon broke down three times during his testimony
I don’t think that’s really the point. The point is that Israel is killing civilians including children, not soldiers.
Then why is there mention of “60% are women and children”?
Because it’s hard to invoke self-defense when killing toddlers. How is it not clear?
Doesn’t say “toddlers.” Says “Women and children.”
You’re being pedantic but you know you’re wrong.
Because both of these groups are non-combatants in most of the world, particularly so in this conflict because Hamas is an Islamist organization. 70% (this seems to be the accurate number) of casualties being women and children implies 70%< of casualties are civilians.

Israel in particular has mandatory military service for men, for 36 months.

Is there a corollary mandatory service for men in Gaza or for Hamas?
It’s incredibly hard to search this information, probably due to the English queries.
The point about women and children being definitively civilians in an active war zone doesn’t detract from the civilian men, nor is it worth this discussion.
The inherent implication is that every man that is killed deserves it, whether that’s the intended implication or not.
Are you just looking for something to get mad about?
I’m not sure where you got the idea that I’m mad about anything.
Just a common troll. Move on
