I'm not sure what point you're trying to make Duane. Those numbers may be an exaggeration, although they include seriously wounded as well as dead, so while they surprised me, maybe they are not entirely wrong. We certainly aren't getting the truth from Israel.
To have killed 17,000 Hamas fighters out of 43,000 casualties, approximately 18,000 of those children and over half women or children, and some old or otherwise not fit for military service (Gaza Health Ministry figures - The Lancet obviously estimates many many more), virtually every military aged man Israel has killed would have to have been a Hamas fighter. Daniel Hagari's 17,000 claim is fanciful.
