    Are you posting from Argentina?

    No?

    As of December 22 Israel struck Gaza 22,000 times since Oct 7th and yet the civilian death toll during that time was 20,000. Do you honestly believe Israel was trying to kill civilians looking at the numbers? It defies all logic.

    Wow that’s about one civilian murder per bomb!

    If they were “willfully targeting civilians” as you claim the number of dead would be in the hundreds of thousands. The reality is Israel warned people to leave areas it was targeting. It actively avoids civlians, hence the low death toll.

    The low low death toll of about 3.7%! So far. I don’t really see the argument.

    You say medical infrastructure while ignoring the Hamas base inside. Like it or not hospitals become valid targets. They’re not a safe space for Hamas to kill from.

    Attacking a hospital is not necessarily a war crime by Geneva Conventions, but there are strict requirements even if this is true. What Israel is doing is considered a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.

    As stated by Palestinians on the ground Hamas steals it but somehow Israel is to blame for that as well?

    Israel is the entity responsible for blocking supplies from entering Gaza, so yes.

      Exactly. It’s extremely low for such a high density location. Bombing is neccassary and the civilian death toll will never be 0 but less than 1 death per bomb is stellar considering the bombs are up to 2,000 pounds and capable of leveling entire buildings.

      I love how the Egyptian border with Gaza always gets forgotten about. No Arab country actually cares about Gaza but they do love to use them as pawns.
