When I said far worse, I mean far worse. Even if you accept the Hamas numbers, we are looking at 22,000 dead in 88 days. That’s 250 a day. Israel claims 8000 Hamas members killed. We don’t know how man of the 14000 remainder were members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Fatah, and civilian participants in October 7th holding hostages. We could be in a sitiation where 10,000 Palestinian combattants or members of terrorist groups have died and 12,000 civilians have died. That’s not genocide. It is terrible. On October 7th, I mourned the Israeli dead and wept for the innocent Palestinians civilians, who would die in the response, due to Hamas using them as human shields. Sadly I failed to account for the role that Egypt and the UN would take in maximizing the number of dead Arabs and blaming Israel.
“When I said far worse, I mean far worse.”
I wasn’t disagreeing with you. I posted the huge number of civilian casualties that we knowingly inflicted in four bombing campaigns that targeted cities during WWII.
