Starving children, bombed hospitals and schools, whole neighborhoods reduced to rubble... Yeah let's worry about properly defining "civilian".
The casualty count is likely way fucking higher than the official numbers. They can't count the people under the rubble.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was already past 100,000
Mehh that is like 5% per 6 months... IDF: these are rookie numbers, got to get 'em up.
This is pure genocide apology. Even if it were true that the hostages were held by civilians, the 200+ Palestinians killed were not all holding the hostages. The 600+ injured were not holding the hostages. What a disgusting article. So because a few people "deserved it" we can massacre civilians. Fuck off
Ah yes, newsweek. Truly a paragon of human rights advocacy.
