Historically since 2008 to just before the conflict was 21:1, it'll be more 100:1 by the end.

I’ve been out of that business for a while and was going off of memory, so I’ll go with your numbers.

I do think the world will pull the plug on this particular situation before there are 100k Palestinians dead unless Iran or Syria gets involved. I think the problem is going to be that the rate of death is going to go vertical, and it won’t be possible to stop before it hits 10k, which could happen in a month or less depending on what they do with electricity and fuel.

It's what the UN states showed last I checked.

I remain hopeful I just think it's very unlikely anyone can or will step in.

I think that other states will step in, and I think Israel will step back and say “What the fuck did we do?”

But history doesn’t make me think that’s going to happen nearly soon enough.
