Israel lost 0.014% of its population to the Hamas attack. Gaza has lost about 0.52% of its population to Israel's rampage and that over 40% of those deaths are children. How is that comparable at all?

Fuck off genocide denier. More than half of the population was children.

Also, the list of the dead has been attempted to be verified by major news organizations, and has been successfully.

I don't deny anything? I am looking for information. What about you?

[–] Count042@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Heres some simple information. Gazas population was over 50 percent under 18. I.e. children.

It's within reasonable margin to divide the casualties by two to get the number of dead children.

I personally have two friends who've had their entire extended families blown up.

I should have known better:

I appreciate your attempt to bring rationality and reason to the discussion, but you're wasting your time on this shithole.

yeah, I realized this half way through typing but wanted to finish this anyway.

And yeah, asking for independent verification the way you did absolutely implies denial. I should have realized that from your instance that you're from a country that literally defines anti-Zionism as antisemitism.

Wow. Now the instance I am coming is the point of debate. Honestly, you are not interested in any honest discussion after all. I don't have any political agenda with me like you obviously do.

All I do is wish for war and terrorism to end and this needs democratic processes and independent press after all. This is my point.

I do have a political agenda. Not tolerating or trying to justify genocide.

I'm pretty satisfied with the morality of the political stance of 'Never Again'

There is no middle ground or appeasement to genocide.

Here's one, sorta, that doesn't include where they checked a Palestinian employees family bit, but it's the middle of the night and I'm trying to go back to sleep. I'll find it in the morning.
