Israel-Gaza Megathread #2

This is a refreshed megathread for any posts on the conflict between (so far, and so far as I know) Hamas and the Israeli government, as well as related geopolitics. Culture War thread rules apply.

[citation needed] that what Israel government is doing is worse than what Hamas doing, and more deserving sanctions/invasion.

I'm not that person but as of writing:

Palestinian dead: 3,785

Israeli dead: 1,300

So by that objective measure Israel has killed more and is therefore "worse," if killing is a problem worth condemning. And that ratio is sure to get worse. Surely some of those Palestinian dead are children and attractive under 40 women, if that helps. To put it more provocative (honest) and bluntly, Israelis/Jews are the more prolific merciless baby killers. They just objectively are.

I personally always keep that stat in mind whenever I see someone try to pull the "omg atrocities" sympathy card by counting bodies. A bizarre play for Israeli siders because the Palestinians will always have the Israelis beat in an oppression and body count olympics. It only really makes sense for Jewish chauvinists that genuinely believe a Jewish life is more valuable than a goy, but most that pull said card aren't so it remains bizarre to me.

For start:

  • how many Palestinians were killed by Hamas etc (with trollmode on: remember that 800 were claimed by Hamas to be killed in explosion that turned out to be clearly caused by faulty Palestinian rocket)
  • how many Israelis were killed by Israelis ?
  • how many dead Palestinians and Israeli are combatants?

And in my opinion deliberate murder of 1000 random civilians is much worse than 1000 civilians dying as collateral damage because terrorists setup weapon storage in apartment buildings.
