Another Update on How the Blogging is Going

I have a lot to say about all of the intentional starvation and the grotesque kabuki of air drops and a floating pier, but that's going to be a post for another day. I was going to do some SOTU stuff - but I'm kind of torn bout which way to go with it. On the plus side, a very aggressive and confrontational SOTU that directly attacked Republicans and the "predecessor" relentlessly - that's good. OTOH, the stuff about Gaza was painfully bad.

So I will retreat back to playing with numbers.

The IDF claims that they killed 30 Hamas fighters in the past 24 hours. We need to remember that the IDF lies - including about the number of Hamas they kill. Of the 30K official dead, the IDF claims that 12K of them are Hamas fighters, even though some 70% are women and children. It's just not even remotely credible.

Still, let's indulge their fantasy numbers. If the IDF is managing to kill an average of 30 Hamas terrorists per day, how much longer do we have? Oh, I guess we also have to assume that somehow, in the midst of all the fighting, that Hamas recruitment is zero. Also totally not credible. But, we're still humouring the insane fairy tale land of the "eradicate Hamas" lunatics like the Israeli government and people like Joe Biden.

The number of Hamas fighters was estimated at between 20K and 30K before the war. We're also using the obviously bullshit 12K already killed. So there might be as few as 8K left to mop up. Now remember, this is leaning heavily on the scale where we take obvious IDF lies and assume they are true (because that's the standard operating procedure of much of the West) and weight every assumption in favour of the military operation as much as possible.

267 more days. The actual number is probably infinite since the brutal campaign of genocide is obviously creating more Hamas supporters. But even in the world of the genocidal maniacs who think "BUT HAAAMMMAAASSS!!!11!1eleventy-one!" is a full and complete rebuttal to any argument, the killing will go on at least until the end of November.
