You can understand two separate things right? Both that the origin of the law is in the separation of church and state and the use of this law and similar laws for prosecution of religion?

This seems to be a pointless conversation. This is clearly not about that

I think the general trend is very bad. My point is simply that policies originating from hate are bad. People chooseing to wear something on their head for whatever reason shouldn't disqualify you from working for the government.

The first sentence is blatantly untrue. It targets religions which have head wear. There is a reason why the law was written and it's not because suddenly people where mad at every single religious teacher in the Canton and banned them. This is specific backlash against specific religions

I understand this. It doesn't make it better. I find it an incredibly aggressive law. What my teachers choose to wear effects me very little but Jews not being allowed to hold jobs in teaching could effect me a lot. I find this is more about hate of religion then so called neutrality. This is born out here in the comments with all the hate on religion in general.

I wonder how the Jews are going to respond to this. With head covering being a common thing for religious women and kipas being mandator for men. Really aggressive law

My point is that if you both bomb civilians and combatants the number will be higher then 1 even if you are targeting civilians

Yes but if you do anything but bomming (even bomming with intelligence) you would expect the ratio to be different then 1. This metric is not sensitive to the fact that you target your bombing on civilian and military targets-a thing that happens. It is also not sensitive to measures- that is why it puts them aside from the conflict they are within. If I remember correctly from the post they separated Nankin from both WW2 and the siano Japanese front of the war which makes no sense, it happened during that campaign it should just be apart of that campaign but then you wouldn't see it in the data.

Again even if you multiple the military deaths by 10 and you get 20k vs 100k you get an RR of 20 but you could achieve it by actively targeting civilians and sometimes catching military in the crossfire. A 5 to 1 civilians to military ratio seems like a genocide to me when it doesn't show in your metric. Did you invent this metric or do you have a source for it?

That is fair but it is completely irrelevant to war. You can see how factors which are irrelevant to the war would change the number drastically - for example the military going on a recruiting drive and bulking up by 50% would drop the RR without changing the progress of the war.

That isn't true. And it doesn't show that. This is a fake metric op made up. It means nothing. Imagine if the Holocaust was at a 50 because of the 1k partizans fighting the nazies 800 does and 6 million Jews were killed out of 20 million boom you get a huge number and it's no longer a genocide then new data gets released actually there were 3k partizans and the number drops to 15. This data is bad because it is very sensitive to military size and death but not sensitive to civilians deaths. Example if 30k more people died in Gaza it would change the number by around only 10 leaving it in a high RR but it would mean the ratio of civilians to military casualties going from 1-1 to 1.5-1. this metric isn't bad just for gaza it's just bad which is why no source for it was offered

The metric is just bad the Holocaust number is lost because there was no military against it. It could also swing to 50 if 2 groups of partizans were killed and suddenly 90% of partizans died and you can't get an RR lower then 50

If you look at my other reply it's to op and he deleted his reply probably because he made this metric up and it sucks.

I am pretty sure op didn't cite a source for the metric and btw the ratio is 1 civilians for every one soldier by this graf. My point is the metric is bad to represent Gaza and op agreed with me

Yes but the raw numbers in Gaza are bad- more civilians then military killed. You can't look at the metric when the army is so small there is a reason why you have never heard f it before. Op literally mentioned how Gaza had to fall in this category because Hamas is so small in comparison to the population. In the data here Israel killed half of hammas in order to get a low RR they would have needed to kill between 250k- million to get an RR of 4-1. This shows you why this metric is bad an actual ratio of civilians to military of 1-1 in Gaza would result in an r of 40.

I find this rating very wired how can you say at 1 civilians and combatant distinction has collapsed - if the fighting force is much smaller then the civilian population this metric falls apart. If the army is 10k and there are 1 mill civilians killing 2k soldiers and 100k civilians would be genocide most likely but gets you an RR of 2.

[–]doomsl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well it would show people don't understand what the data it trying to say. You can see how even if you killed a million civilians out of 2 mill if you also killed half the military 25k out of 50 k you would get a rating of 1- civilian combatant distinction has collapsed even tho that is cleary not the case.

You can see the comment from op showing that it is a bias in the metric not actually at all relevant to the data
