Most independent sources I've seen reporting on numbers have been Palestinians. The UN is not reporting on casualties because it cannot verify any of the claimed numbers.

And Hamas lied about 500 Palestinians being killed in one attack on a hospital by Israel, except it turned out that attack was actually Islamic Jihadists misfiring, and nowhere near 500 people died.

Hamas verifiably made up that 5% of the casualties in this war, so no, you shouldn't believe the rest of their numbers.

And Hamas has fired thousands of rockets into Israeli territory since Oct. 7th, that goes beyond defending yourself in a hospital.

And the bombing and siege warfare started after Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand civilians, and fired thousands of rockets at Israeli cities.

There is video of weapons fire coming from hospitals, so we do have that.

And Hamas is constantly lying too, yet everyone on this site seems to eat up everything they say.

If you took some theoretical "average" man and some theoretical "average" woman I think they'd probably be a lot closer in terms of strength and stamina

They would not. Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

The difference between the average man and the average woman is the same as the difference between a man who's been taking steroids since he was 12, and an average man.

If men can keep up a faster pace for over 100 kms, then they can sustain exertion for more than long enough.

The paper someone else posted showed that women start to lose pace in a marathon later than men, but men start out so much faster, and over the course of an ultra-marathon men still keep up a faster pace the whole distance.

the only physical sport activity they women excel at is ultra marathons

And men still have much better record times at every ultra-marathon distance. Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

I mean, it's also unlikely to be true. The difference between male and female bodies is the equivalent of years of high end steroid use.

If you wouldn't let a man who had taken steroids for a decade and still takes them compete with other men, then you already acknowledge the biological advantage men have over women at physical sports.

More likely to slow from their original pace, but they still finish much faster.

And men have much better ultra-marathon records than women as well.

Why would anyone need to cope with the value of individuals in pre-civilization society

Limited resources, and the need to deal with predators.

She was snarky well before that happened.

I said post WW1, on multiple occasions.

WW1 ended in 1918. You're missing some vital years there mate.

Adding up the 7 listed employees there is about $3.5 million, leaving $15.5 million for the remaining 47 employees, giving an average of $360,000 a year per employee. Damn good wage.
