Biden Says Civilians Being Killed on Both Sides in Gaza. The Ratio Is 45 to 1.
Biden Says Civilians Being Killed on Both Sides in Gaza. The Ratio Is 45 to 1.
Here's the thing - Hamas isn't actively killing Israeli civilians anymore. You can argue that if we don't fully wipe Hamas they will in the future, but right now, almost exclusively Gaza civilians are being killed. That ratio isn't 45:1 today, it's closer to 4500:1.
I imagine most are dead or hiding, so yeah. I'm not really sure who they think they're killing if not civilians.
I mean, technically correct. Just one side has SIGNIFICANTLY MORE casualties
The civilian:soldier death ratio is unacceptable for both sides.
But Biden is giving weapons to one side.
"Very good people on both sides."
What an asshole
Even fucking now. Jfc, thank goodness his age caught up to him. And i hope Harris has some sense
Shes gonna be more hawkish than Biden has been
Stop aiding Israel
How does Bernie, a Jewish man, see what Israel is doing but our dumbass president can't? Oh yeah, money.
$11m in AIPAC money buys a lot of blinders.
Technically both: gottem
Is it really surprising that a government that started a war while spending zero dollars on air superiority, zero dollars on artillery, zero dollars on defensive fortifications, zero dollars on civilian bomb shelters, zero dollars on radar and enemy detection and zero dollars on a military college for its officers is losing the war it started with a 45:1 casualty ratio?
If Israel were truly trying to maximize harm in Gaza it could easily be 4500:1.
This is special Olympics vs. Olympics here.
Actually if it indeed is 45:1 i must admit that i did not know that so many israeli civilians had been killed!
Edit: I legit thought that the only Israeli civilians killed in this conflict were the hostages. Is this still the case?
Presumably that includes Israeli hostages being bombed by IDF and malfunctions. Who killed them wasn't made clear.
That's only if you believe Hamas and not the IDF.
Do you see the bias there?
Tell the IDF to stop lying then?
The Palestinian death toll has been verified by journalists and US intelligence. After US intelligence verified the death tolls, sudden the Israeli government stopped disputing the death toll.
You have a very strong opinion but clearly haven't done your homework.
That's because of the war though. And dual use. Border controls. Like, if Hamas could get whatever it wanted into Gaza, the ratio would be 1 to 45. I agree the ratio is appalling as is, especially all the kids. Hamas should stop hiding under everyone's cities, actual leaders should step forward and reject martyrdom culture. Maybe Gaza would have more of a future.
So, you're saying that the IDF is a terrorist organization similar to Hamas?
actual leaders should step forward and reject martyrdom culture
Well Israel is killing them as well . Israel will not tolerate any leader who advocates for a free Palestine. Look at the West Bank and how far fatah's collaboration has gotten them, slowly being pushed out by terrorist settlers. This is why Palestine has no future, Israel forbids it. If you peacefully protest you get shot in the leg , if you use violence then that violence is brought back on you 50 fold. Anyone who thinks Hamas just needs to play nice doesn't grasp the full historic context.
Gaza has been a shithole long before Hamas existed because Israel is doing the same shit since over half a century. The only future they can look forward to is staying an open-air prison. There will be no two-state solution, Israel does not want that.
I am yet to see any army as immoral and as bloodthirsty as the IDF. Hamss fucking suck but even they wouldn't literally kill this many civilians whether they can or can't. Hezbollah could flip all tables on Israel and yet they don't tend to kill a child every fucking minute. In the meantime Israel claims to have the best war tech but always kills 10 extra people because for them the best way to kill a Hamas fighters is not when he is in a tunnel, instead it's when he is kissing his daughter goodnight. And in most of those cases, no Hamas fighters were killed.
What significant life event other than literally everything happening today would it take you to realize this?
Israel puts
theirUS money into protecting their citizensinstead ofand martyring them.
ftfy.
Holy shit it's almost like Israel could've just:
Thanks for proving the point that this offensive was unnecessary.
You’re such a hypocrite! You really do speak out of both sides of your mouth. Here’s Kamala (the candidate that you are rabidly willing to give up your integrity and fight fellow leftists to help install) giving a speech to her true constituents: Vote for Kamala! The harm REDUCTION candidate!
THEIR money? Are you serious???
To be martyred in Arabic means to bear witness to being killed unlawfully, even people who die by mistake can be thought of as martyrs. To all the parents and children who lost each other, their loved ones being a "martyr" offers condolences in shitty times if war because it means instant entry to heaven in Islam. Culturally the term is applied even to non Muslims, especially when butchered needlessly by Israel. It's not like a death cult, it just means "killed unjustly" and literally translated to "Witness". It's a bit of a mistranslation...
