      October 7th inventists obsess over the senseless violence directed at women and children on that day. The fact is that fewer than 30% of those killed on October 7th were women or children.

      In Gaza, 70% of the >40k (gross underestimate) are women and children.

      Death to israel and every genocide denier, justifier, and normalizer. This century’s nazis deserve an even more crushing defeat

        About 600-700 were civilians, of whom we know some were killed by IOF forces. Split it down the middle and maybe resistance forces killed 350 on the high end, in a crossfire

        30% seems like a very high estimate of civilians honestly, since less than 30% of Israel’s population are civilians.

        Over 90% of Israeli adults are current or former IDF. Finding a place where 30% of people are civilians would honestly be impressive.

        Although following the news you’d think the IDF is somehow the world’s only all-civilian military. Like that Israeli-American “hostage” whose family the Democrats kept trotting out, who finished active duty in Gaza ~6 months before October 7th. Thats not a hostage, that’s a prisoner of war.

    • That is a rounding error. Gaza has lost 10% of it’s population (using Lancet numbers) to 15% (University of Edinburgh’s numbers). I do not care about those 1,200 people (large amounts of whom were killed by Israel) when Palestinians are incapable of counting their Martyrs fast enough. Al-asqa flood was a success and wholly justified.
