Well they usually don't do that, most Israeli "leftists"/peaceniks are not opposed to military service and always side with Israel and the IDF when the guns are drawn.

given that the real casualty numbers are certainly higher than what’s been published, are there any rumors floating around about just how many dead/wounded/captured the IOF have suffered since the beginning of the operation overall?

Yeah, near the start of the month Ynet published information that 5000 IDF had been injured with 2000 permanently disabled, based on numbers directly from the hospitals.

don't think he can for now at least - judges are appointed from a shortlist by the president, to get on the list they have to be approved by at least 7 of 9 members on a judicial selection committee, and current membership includes two of the judges who just shot down the bill and one mp from yesh atid

IDF claims they only have like a 100 dead, a 5000 wounded / 2000 disabled, but to put this in perspective, the coalition suffered 100 dead and 600 wounded in Fallujah. It seems unlikely to me that the IDF medics are like 1000% better at saving lives than US or british medics. And also, the insurgents had literally 10 times fewer troops than Hamas and far fewer fortifications, and worse weaponry.

If they had the same ratio then the IDF would be closer to like 800+ dead

The 2000 disabled figure comes from a newspaper citing hospital statistics, not the IDF. The "official" stats as per the IDF's website are 173 dead and 965 wounded since October 27th.

They might be counting every soldier who scrapes his finger climbing into a vehicle as a wounded troop, to inflate their numbers and downplay the vast imbalance in casualties. And battlefield medicine has improved significantly since 2004, not by a factor of 10, but still enough to make a difference.

So this is pretty much it for Israel.

This whole military campaign was supposed to bolster confidence, but the longer it goes on, the less confident Israelis are. Nearly half a million have already hosed off back to Europe/Brooklyn, and they're going to have problems giving away settler slots.

Hitler 2 is absolutely destroying Israel and can't even see it. The whole country hinges on the idea that it's a safe, stable place for Jews - but leadership is committed to keep it locked in a losing war, actively disregarding / killing friendlies, and incapable of achieving military goals. It's "You're going to be safe if it kills you, which is likely." Which is neither believable or stable.

An external threat could be dealt with, or even used to strengthen national resolve. This is not what they're doing.

Anyone with half a brain and anywhere else to go has already left. You're not safer in Tel Aviv than anywhere else, and the primary danger is coming from inside your borders.

It's a unique problem to Israel, because so many of its citizens are effectively part timers with other choices. You can get away with this scrub leadership where your people have no other choice, but Israel is global Florida and the summer homes are on fire.
