36. "Even if" does indeed imply doubt. However, it also implies that this doubt doesn't play a role

Tuesday

in the absurdity of the responses in this thread, which is the only point/claim I am making. There is no other.

And it is the absurdity of the responses that boggles my mind, "even if" one presumes absence of any doubt where it is rightfully called for. This is not a legitimate presumption, but I conceded it in order to avoid needless diversions into side issues that are irrelevant to my point/claim:

The point you choose to challenge has no other purpose than to illustrate how some sentiments I found in this thread defy elementary mathematics and are therefore absurd. It has no bearing on what the IDF may or may not do. It speaks directly to the content of certain posts in this thread.

Try as you may, the ratio of meals to kills (and I am using this comparison in a manner sufficiently distasteful to fit into a theme of absurd propositions) doesn't change with the circumstances that may or may not be responsible for it. And the numbers that make up this ratio are clearly stated in the cited article. My questions about the ignoramuses and ethnic cleanser wannabes who might conceivably find any sense in this equation are entirely rhetorical.
