Major Y [an American who went to Israel to fight] and other people on the ground I have spoken with say that they estimate about one in every two or three [civilian] homes in Gaza they go into has military weaponry, including AK47s, grenades and rocket launchers. And they routinely find entrances to Hamas’s terror tunnels inside civilian houses. And not just anywhere, but most often in the children’s bedrooms and even under cots.

    “One in every two or three” implies at least a 50% margin of error.

    Not sure why we’re taking “Major Y’s” words at face value. Instead of saying “Hamas Philosophy:” it should be titled “Major Y says:”

    Nice propaganda piece, though.

      50% margin error in this context is insanely high for an officially civilian area.

      It should be 0%, which is Israel intention in this war.
