Not all civilians are equal: 3,803 Palestinians, 177 Israelis since 2008
Clever Rebel via msn ^ | Oct 8, 2023 | Matt De Vlieger

In the ongoing brutality of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the Israeli Occupation of Palestine, the loss of civilian lives is an undeniable tragedy. Yet, when we dissect the numbers and delve into the narratives surrounding these casualties, a troubling pattern emerges. The concern for civilian lives appears to waver, leaning disproportionately towards one side. It's a disconcerting revelation that prompts us to question the consistency of our empathy when it comes to human suffering.

According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), from 2008 to September 19, 2023, the conflict has claimed the lives of 3,803 Palestinian civilians and 177 Israeli civilians. However, it should be noted that 2014 had been the most deadly year in that period. The year 2014 marked a grim milestone in the conflict, with a significant loss of civilian lives.

The OCHA site allows users to observe data in an interactive map and graph format.

Before the recent outbreak of hostilities in Gaza, the world's outcry seemed far less audible when Palestinian civilians were the victims. This asymmetry casts doubts on whether our concerns are genuinely centered on safeguarding civilian lives universally or if our compassion is selectively allocated.

As usual blatant propaganda without the proper perspective. For example if rockets are fired from a top of a hospital into Israel and they retaliate, there will be lots of civilian casualties (which is expected by the terrorists), which the rocket hit a low population area.

Here are some rocket launch sites which by the rules of war Israel could have legally attacked:

“Equity” is evidently a suicide pact.

It’s easy to spin when you ignore causality. Hamas is responsible for the casualties on both sides because they are the aggressors.
It’s about to get much more one sided because Hamas has to be destroyed root & branch.

I believe the UN’s largest block voters are the Muslims under the OIC banner.

Muslims would rather coordinate with the UN for launching sites and have Israel retaliate:

You fight a war until everyone of the enemy begs for it to end.
This 'limited war' horsechit the world has been playing at since WWII has done nothing except cost millions of lives and made the scum that calls themselves “elites” rich.
Endless war is no way to live.

Civilian deaths in Arab-controlled police states are overwhelmingly due to internal violence conducted by those police states, or due to terrorist acts carried out by one of them against another.

“As usual blatant propaganda without the proper perspective.”

perfect title-

muslims can’t co-exist with other muslims.

They’ve killed more of themselves than everyone else on earth added together have killed.

I can top that, just in the last year about 100,000 Americans have been poisoned by China and Mexico, while millions of illegals pour across the border and commit thousands of other murders every year. Yet, of all those publicly bemoaning the deaths in Israel, few if any of them have bothered to even mention that ongoing anti-American campaign being openly waged here in our own country.

Let’s start being more concerned about our own country, including our own borders and to hell with the borders of other countries on the other side of the world.
