First of course, note the 10,000+ bodies recovered but in no condition to be quickly identified by age or sex. Second, I hope that Peter Savodnik will at least admit that SOME MEN ARE CIVILIANS! Peter Savodnik, for example. And Oliver Wiseman. If either of those brothers were killed in a bombing of their homes, I hope the Free Press would not proclaim them "combatants" who were "legit targets" for any air force that wanted to take them out.
I used to think the Free Press had at least some credibility. At this point, however, it's well below that of Fox News or MSNBC. Truth should not be a casualty of war! Look in the mirror.
So you're telling me that a fanatical shithole of a country that can't provide water and electricity, produce their own food, or form any kind of industrial base (besides tunnelry/rocketry) has some efficient registry of the inhabitants? I doubt that. But in case they might, can we ask how many of those "children" were 12-18 yr old boys with AK's? Or how many of those 14 yr old little girls were pregnant?
TFP stopped being unbiased, if they ever were, after Oct 7th. As far as TFP is concerned, there is only one side to this story. Rien d’autre. Not only that, but once again this “the numbers all got changed” was dissected in great detail this morning in the NYT. Thus, nothing in TFP that I can’t or don’t get elsewhere with more facts and more verifiable details. Also so much for the whiny “why isn’t the MSM covering this?” Boring.
Here are the figures that "no one is talking about" which I easily got from the CBC (among many other outlets): https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/gaza-women-children-death-toll-1.7203167
The new numbers are as follows:
10,006 identified as men
4,959 identified as women
7,797 identified as children
24,686 subtotal (identified)
10,218 unidentified bodies
34,904 Total

There are no civilians in Gaza.

Context is instructive.
