civilian death comparison
civilian death comparison
Could not find a chart with the breakdown "of them children" for Palestine on Statista.
Experts believe the real death toll in Gaza is at least ~4.4x what this shows, so IOF is more accurately ~40 times worse.
Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

Using this estimate, the civilian deaths per day average is 497.33 in Gaza.
The UN agency said it verified the details of 8,119 people killed in Gaza from November 2023 to April 2024.
Its analysis found around 44% of verified victims were children and 26% women. The ages most represented among the dead were five to nine-year-olds.
About 80% of victims were killed in residential buildings or similar housing, the agency added.

all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.
All violence against israelis and zionists abroad is also self-defense!
i hated that ukraine and project 2025 was used to counter criticisms for the genocide and mostly because their use as virtual signals during the election were obvious propaganda to me, but few others saw through it somehow.
like the american lgbt, the ukrainians were used as culture war cannon fodder and they're victims just as much as we are in the dnc's failed attempt to use us and them together to help the dnc win the election; rather than risking pissing off their donors by taking the popular actions that had broad support from everyone.
We all are on agreement about what is happening in Gaza and no one here acts like the conflict in Ukraine is equivalent or somehow worse like libs do, so posting this in our echo chamber just kind of seems like downplaying the casualties in Ukraine.
12 thousand killed is still terrible, even if it’s not genocide or as severe as in Palestine.No intent to 'downplay' civilian deaths is contained here. Both conflicts are listed as equally as possible based on the data available. This is only intended to highlight the contradictions of liberal rhetoric with reality regarding these two conflicts.
