* Although they could easily distinguish between combatant and non-combatant deaths, Hamas refuses to do so.
* They [Hamas] fail to acknowledge that many of these so-called children were also combatants.
* They do the same with women, conveying the impression that only men are terrorists.
* Without the support of the media, this strategy would not succeed.
* And useful ignoramuses on university campuses, along with bigots in international organizations, falsely accuse Israel of genocide, despite the successful efforts of the IDF to reduce civilian casualties to the minimum possible....
* In the absence of an honest accounting, the media will continue to do Sinwar's nefarious work in increasing Palestinian casualties in order to increase the pressure on Israel.
* Sadly, the media's dangerous cooperation with terrorists tells us more about them than about the war about which they purport to be "reporting."

"Arab mediators hastened to speed up talks about a cease-fire... Sinwar in a message urged his comrades in Hamas's political leadership outside Gaza not to make concessions and instead to push for a permanent end to the war. High civilian casualties would create worldwide pressure on Israel, Sinwar said."
