When Sarah Hurwitz says "1.5 civilians" per combatant she is explicitly saying that every male over 14 or so years is valid for Israel to kill.
As with every single argument over death ratios.
On Israeli TV they simply include the entire confirmed death toll including babies as "terrorists killed"

Dr Abu Safiya is a hero. He sacrificed everything to save lives in Gaza – and now Israel is holding him, and reportedly torturing him, without charges. Doctors around the world are rising to free him and other Gaza medics.

Arrakis, a desert, planet, can you believe it? Some people call it Dune, I call it Arrakis. The SPICE must flow, and quite frankly, it will be flowing much faster than under the failed DUKE LETO. Maybe he was a nice guy, maybe not,I think he was jealous of me! We're looking into that very strongly.
