          Killing 1500 israelis is a genocide but over 20k palestinians is not! We get it Israelis life is more precious than palestinians to pro-israel

            Judging by numbers is extremely inaccurate. Whole argument of saying that one side has killed more people, hence is worse, is irrelevant and very wrong.

            Actually, those are Hamas claimed numbers. The IDF numbers claim more than 8,000 dead combatents, that’s actually a more than reasonable civilian to combatant ratio comparing to recent and less recent conflicts.

            I know that sounds a bit heartless, but given the population density in Gaza it’s quite clear there’s no genocide intent here.

            I would even argue that the Israeli army did more to save Palestinian lives than Hamas, who put them in an impossible situation for the sake of Jihad.

              Like giving civilians a “safe route” and then bombing them as they followed it? Or bombing refugee camps? Sniping civilians? Cutting off the fuel supply and bombing hospitals?

                So it should have not given a safe route?

                and then bombing them as they followed it

                Hamas lies, in fact they actually shot at their fleeing people to deter them from leaving so they’ll remain human shields, obviously blaming Israel.

                Or bombing refugee camps

                The refugee camps are being used by terrorists, ate you telling Israel how to achieve its goals? In fact, even after Israel designated humanitarian zones, Hamas started shooting from there.

                Cutting off the fuel supply

                Humanitarian needs are being taken care of, although I don’t think any country would do the same in the same situation where the electricity and fuel are constantly being used against you. Can you imagine supplying fuel to a country that keeps throwing rockets on you for years? This situation is absurd.

                bombing hospitals

                Hamas lies which have already been proven so. The single time a hospital was hit was due to an Islamic Jihad rocket misfiring and landing in a hospital parking lot (supposedly killing 500 people according to the fastest body conters in the world, which were able to supply that body count around 5 minutes after that missile exploded).

          For those of you wandering what was in this deleted comment - it’s videos taken by GoPro’s carried by the Hamas terrorists as they raided Israeli towns and brutally murdered as much civilians as they could find, including women and children.

          Apperantly, it’s not OK by the mod to show (or even link to) evidence of actual genocide, only to make false claims of one. The mod didn’t explained which rule is it that led to my comment being deleted.

          If anyone’s interested (I couldn’t watch all of it, and what I was able to watch kept me up at night) - contact me directly and I’ll send you the link for your viewing displeasure.
