    No it doesn’t because that number would be vastly higher if they were. Do you think Israel couldn’t mow down Gazans en masse if that was their intent?

    This is why calling Israel’s actions “genocide” is so fuckin dumb.

      So 2000 dead kids is business as usual for Israel? Got it. This is why the world is waking up. The genocidal regime will soon come to an end.

      Israel should remember how close it came to.destruction in prior war.

      Genocide has consequence and Israel is not above them.

        Yeah, Israel was attacked and came close to losing. Israel avoids genocide by killing the terrorists, not capitulating to them

          Eternal war cannot bring peace

          If someone ever stacks up Skulls in Tel Aviv, remember that Israel had a chance to pursue peace.

            Hamas has vowed for eternal war, they are fascists who say they will not accept Israel existence in any capacity. They start wars make all these threats and then when they die they go ‘oh look at the children’. A person with morals and strong intellect.can see they of course.these evil people will lie and flail in every disingenuous way. Truly disgusting people, threaten genocide all die and cry about any steps taken against them. The other Arab countries are much more severe with dissidents, they understand the mentality better

        A) Hamas isn’t going to destroy Israel, ever

        B) Israel isn’t committing genocide. If they were honestly attempting genocide right now, they’d provably be so laughably bad at it that no one should fear it

          I didn’t say Hamas.

          You’re welcome to keep thinking that Israel is invulnerable.

          But if they stay on this path, well.

          What I’m saying is they better hope Merkava doesn’t become obsolete or high risk on the very near future.

          Hezbollah and Iran are NOT Hamas.

          And Fate does not protect them.

            Fate doesn’t need to protect them. Multiple US carrier groups are.

      They are mowing them down en masse though. The reason more haven’t been killed is because they have shelters and tunnels to protect from the strikes. They have leveled whole villages, apartment towers holding hundreds of people, and struck routes specifically designated by the IDF as safe avenues for people to escape. The number killed is likely much higher than the reports we have seen, like after an earthquake or other disasters there are hundreds of people labeled ‘missing’ until they are more certain they are deceased.

        Yes the guy explaining history is the one ignorant of it.

        That’s how things work.
