The dnd thread couldn't handle a legitimate reading recommendation for people who lacked basic background. It's a net gain to lose that thread.

Apparently I was supposed to respond in good faith to a post quoting Reddit user theghostofherzl trash talking respected historian Ilan Pappe.

Hiding the 'ratio': Israel conceals 200+ troop deaths on Lebanon front

Having established a 1:1 kill ratio in the past six months of border clashes, Hezbollah has now set its sights on high-value Israeli targets to counter Tel Aviv's strikes into Lebanon's geographic depth.
Since 8 October, more than 230 Israeli soldiers have been killed by Hezbollah fighters in cross-border operations against the occupation state, according to field data obtained by The Cradle.

This suggests that the Lebanese resistance has achieved parity in the number of forces killed by both sides during the past six months of military clashes.

This feat is as significant as it is impressive, given that "relatively poorly armed and usually outnumbered popular resistance forces never achieve a 1:1 ratio against high-tech, heavily weaponized colonialist and neo-colonialist forces," as noted by one analyst in the aftermath of Israel's 2006 war on Lebanon.

Hezbollah's new 'targets ratio'

While Hezbollah honors the martyrdoms of its fallen fighters by disclosing both name and number, the Israeli military tightly controls its casualty information flow, masking the true extent of its losses and downplaying the significance of crucial Israeli installations struck by Hezbollah drones and missiles in the country's northern front.

Recent reports suggest 258 Hezbollah fighters have been killed since 8 October, while Israel has claimed only 10 fatalities among its forces - a highly improbable figure given Hezbollah's extensive dissemination of war footage showing its Israeli troop targeting operations.

In comparison, during Israel's 2006 war on Lebanon, which lasted only 34 days, Hezbollah's losses are estimated to be around 250 dead fighters versus Israel's declared 121 troops deaths, although that number is believed to be significantly higher. Ten Israeli deaths on the Lebanese border after six months of ferocious clashes makes little sense in this context.

Arab 'cannon fodder' and foreign mercenaries

Tel Aviv adds to this “fog of war” by employing Bedouin and Druze troops on its frontlines to make concealing army deaths easier.

For instance, Israel provides a "material allowance" to the families of soldiers from the Bedouin "Qasasi al-Athar" unit, which is deployed to a number of Israel's borders - Lebanon, Gaza, Egypt - with a focus on preventing cross-border infiltrations, particularly during times of conflict.

Field estimates indicate that the largest number of Israeli deaths occurred in the ranks of this unit.

In recent years, Israel has launched a series of military propaganda campaigns to showcase the diversity in its ranks. Deputy Army Spokesman "Captain Ayla," an Arab Jew, organized a 2020 tour at the Lebanese–Palestinian border with a Qasasi al-Athar unit officer named Ali Falah, who works within the Northern Brigade, to highlight the perilous nature of their work at point zero.

It seems that the Israeli military employs the same strategies – paying off the families of dead Bedouin troops – with soldiers from the Arab Druze community, who are part of individual formations and battalions or so-called 'local defense' in villages near the Lebanese border.

For instance, 70 percent of the 299th Battalion, which is stationed in the Hurfaish area – four kilometers from the Lebanese border – are members of the Druze community. The battalion has incurred casualties on the deadly front, but Israel has only reported one loss to date.

As with many armies facing decline, mercenaries have become a fixture within the ranks of the Israeli armed forces and are active in the combat units of the Israeli army. Many of these enlisted during the Gaza aggression and have been subsequently deployed to the border with Lebanon.

Despite the active involvement of mercenaries, their deaths often go unacknowledged, and their bodies are quietly repatriated without official recognition as fallen soldiers. Evidence suggests that a significant number of them have perished on the border frontlines.

I picked up this airport thriller the other day, it's one of those Jason Bourne extended universe books, and the plot is about Bourne getting blackmailed into assassinating the president of the USA. In an early chapter, he gets confronted by a former lover, a Mossad agent, who questions his choice to go along with the coercion.

He asks her what she would've done if she was in the same position, and she immediately replies that she would have attacked the terrorist putting her up to it, even if it meant the hostages would die.

Democratic lawmakers and human rights organizations in the U.S. have expressed concern that intelligence information transferred to Israel from Washington contributes to the killing of civilians in the Gaza Strip, the Wall Street Journal reported from sources familiar with the matter.

According to the report, a secret memo, issued by the Biden administration after the October 7 Hamas attack, expanded sharing of intelligence information with Israel. However, according to the sources, a concern arose in the U.S. that Israel was using American intelligence information to, not only locate Hamas members and hostages, but also carry out attacks in which infrastructure was damaged and civilians were killed.

Does the IOF publish the number of foreign fighters in any statistics? The reason why I'm asking is there was a facebook discussion a couple of weeks ago, where someone was claiming there could be as many as 20,000 British IOF murderers who have taken holiday time from work to fly to Palestine to genocide women and children since Oct 7th.

The discussion was focusing on the fact that all of these people will now be returning to the UK, hosed up on PTSD, and integrating back into civilian life after going on a mass Nazi murdering and raping holiday. From my understanding, the UK government isn't monitoring people going to and returning from Israel....

Is 20,000 a realistic figure?
