Here's the thing - Hamas isn't actively killing Israeli civilians anymore. You can argue that if we don't fully wipe Hamas they will in the future, but right now, almost exclusively Gaza civilians are being killed. That ratio isn't 45:1 today, it's closer to 4500:1.
Is it really surprising that a government that started a war while spending zero dollars on air superiority, zero dollars on artillery, zero dollars on defensive fortifications, zero dollars on civilian bomb shelters, zero dollars on radar and enemy detection and zero dollars on a military college for its officers is losing the war it started with a 45:1 casualty ratio?
If Israel were truly trying to maximize harm in Gaza it could easily be 4500:1.
The Palestinian death toll has been verified by journalists and US intelligence. After US intelligence verified the death tolls, sudden the Israeli government stopped disputing the death toll.
You have a very strong opinion but clearly haven't done your homework.
That's because of the war though. And dual use. Border controls. Like, if Hamas could get whatever it wanted into Gaza, the ratio would be 1 to 45. I agree the ratio is appalling as is, especially all the kids. Hamas should stop hiding under everyone's cities, actual leaders should step forward and reject martyrdom culture. Maybe Gaza would have more of a future.
If Hamas surrenders the war ends. It has nothing to do with anyone's genes. It has to do with Hamas packing kids into tiny rooms above tunnel shafts and then refusing to let them evacuate, or worse, convincing them that it's good to be a Martyr.™
actual leaders should step forward and reject martyrdom culture
Well Israel is killing them as well . Israel will not tolerate any leader who advocates for a free Palestine. Look at the West Bank and how far fatah's collaboration has gotten them, slowly being pushed out by terrorist settlers. This is why Palestine has no future, Israel forbids it. If you peacefully protest you get shot in the leg , if you use violence then that violence is brought back on you 50 fold. Anyone who thinks Hamas just needs to play nice doesn't grasp the full historic context.
Gaza has been a shithole long before Hamas existed because Israel is doing the same shit since over half a century. The only future they can look forward to is staying an open-air prison. There will be no two-state solution, Israel does not want that.
I am yet to see any army as immoral and as bloodthirsty as the IDF. Hamss fucking suck but even they wouldn't literally kill this many civilians whether they can or can't. Hezbollah could flip all tables on Israel and yet they don't tend to kill a child every fucking minute. In the meantime Israel claims to have the best war tech but always kills 10 extra people because for them the best way to kill a Hamas fighters is not when he is in a tunnel, instead it's when he is kissing his daughter goodnight. And in most of those cases, no Hamas fighters were killed.
What significant life event other than literally everything happening today would it take you to realize this?
Listened to intelligence reports of an impending attack.
Actually fucking manned their border with the troops they committed to an offensive so terrorists couldn't just waltz in on motorcycles and paragliders lmao.
And avoided committing the equivalent of around 40 x October 7ths against innocent civilians!
Thanks for proving the point that this offensive was unnecessary.
You’re such a hypocrite! You really do speak out of both sides of your mouth. Here’s Kamala (the candidate that you are rabidly willing to give up your integrity and fight fellow leftists to help install) giving a speech to her true constituents: Vote for Kamala! The harm REDUCTION candidate!
To be martyred in Arabic means to bear witness to being killed unlawfully, even people who die by mistake can be thought of as martyrs. To all the parents and children who lost each other, their loved ones being a "martyr" offers condolences in shitty times if war because it means instant entry to heaven in Islam. Culturally the term is applied even to non Muslims, especially when butchered needlessly by Israel. It's not like a death cult, it just means "killed unjustly" and literally translated to "Witness".
It's a bit of a mistranslation...
