          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.

              Like giving civilians a “safe route” and then bombing them as they followed it? Or bombing refugee camps? Sniping civilians? Cutting off the fuel supply and bombing hospitals?
