You can take issue with the numbers and be as conspiratorial about them as you like, but that goalpost movement doesn't do anything to support your point.

Your unwillingness to label the killing of thousands of children in either regard shows an apologism and an intellectual dishonesty that doesn't bely any useful contribution to the discussion.

Faux impartiality and centrism is the kind of toxic behaviour that lets these atrocities go unchecked.

The other comment:

40% of those deaths are children

Where is that info from? Gonna wait for independent journalists to provide information on this, right?

Huh? I don't have a strong opinion on any of this and do not deny. I would prefer independent investigations on this by parties not involved in this conflict (or war or potential genocide whatever you want to call this).

More than half of the population, about 52%, were under the age of 18, making them children.

Indiscriminate bombing, which Israel is doing, will cause about half of those fatalities to be children.

Asking for independent journalistic verification in a war zone where Israel won't let independent journalists in is the equivalent of denying. You know there is no verification meeting your impossible standards.
