We killed over 100,000 people in Tokyo fire bombings in a couple of days during WWII… These people are all idiots and liars. Gaza is tiny, about 139 square miles, and has over 2 million people packed into that space, meaning there are roughly 14,000 to 15,000 people per square mile (yes, this is among the highest densities in the world). Let’s compare that to some historical battles for scale: The Battle of Stalingrad caused around 2 million casualties in about six months, and the Battle of Berlin killed roughly 125,000 civilians in only a few weeks. Similarly, the US campaign to retake Mosul from ISIS resulted in tens of thousands of civilian deaths in a city of about 1.5 to 2 million people over nine months. Against that historical backdrop, a figure around 75,000 casualties over more than two years of intense urban warfare in one of the world’s most densely populated territories would be historically low relative to many comparable battles fought in dense cities. Do you understand how stupid claiming this was some genocide is? Do you understand that had Israel wanted to, they could have killed every person in Gaza indiscriminately? They didn’t because they aren’t what all of the propagandists are saying they are. Don’t fall for their idiotic lies.
