I fully expect bombing a refugee camp to have high numbers in casualties. Don't need to trust Hamas to understand that is inevitable.
It’s a refugee camp in the loosest sense of the word. It’s 80 years old, has permanent structures and is more like a crowded city than something like the Syrian refugee camps.
To drive home the concept that maybe, just maybe, we should wait until we have verification, this is the camp that Gaza’s Interior Minister (Hamas) claimed was “completely destroyed” about 3 weeks ago:
You're right of course, but I don't see how that makes any of this better. If anything, it seems you're saying we should expect the casualties to be even higher because a city is being bombed.
Yes we should. It's a testament to who evacuated the place is that the casualty rates are only this bad.
Had there not been a mass evacuation, the numbers would likely be an order of magnitude higher, at least. The Gaza strip is one of the most densely-populated places on earth

True and here's hoping Biden is right to think the indiscriminate bombing has at least subsided: https://youtu.be/ECtBwO9hlTI?si=3QnNV2sopzF-lpbe

We should. It has been higher in the taking of every city in the middle east in the last 20 years that wasn't a NATO country.
Those qualifiers got me 🤣
NATO is not much better per day of conflict, they are simply quicker and intelligence better. Make no mistake, they would do the same.
