So let’s do some math:

Israel’s military estimates that out of the 13,000 or so Palestinians it has killed in seven weeks, 1,000-2,000 of them are Hamas fighters.

They estimate about 30,000 Hamas fighters in total and their stated goal is to wipe out Hamas entirely.

Given the current ratio of deaths, how many Palestinians will they have to kill to wipe out Hamas?

Answer: 195,000 - 390,000

(But don’t call it a genocide.)
