        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

          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.
