NATO launched more than 10,000 air raids on Libya in 2011 with over 500,000 Civilian Casualties. When they were questioned about civilian Casualties they insisted that it was collateral damages and that it happens in wars.

Wonder why all those dead and injured from bombing the living s*** out of Libya, and giving Egypt over to the Muslim Brotherhood, didn’t result in a forfeit of Obama’s “Peace” prize? Race Card ... Don’t commit war crimes without one.

Posts inflate Libyan civilian deaths caused by NATO in 2011
https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-617123650281
“Estimates for how many civilians were killed during the NATO campaign range from under 100 to just over 400.

The U.N.-appointed Commission of Inquiry on Libya investigated some of the airstrikes and found that while NATO did not intentionally target civilians, 60 civilians were killed and 55 were wounded, the AP reported in March 2012.

Separately, Human Rights Watch concluded in a May 2012 report that at least 72 civilians were killed by NATO airstrikes. In March 2021, Airwars, a group that tracks civilian harm in conflict zones, estimated that NATO strikes caused 223 to 403 likely civilian deaths.”


The fake claims
“”“The most air strikes ever launched in Africa by NATO was more than 10,000 on Libya in 2011 with over 500,000 Civilian Casualities,” said one tweet published March 14. The tweet has been shared over 26,000 times.

But the claim is false, experts told the AP. No credible estimates support the assertions that tens of thousands of civilians were killed by NATO airstrikes. Some independent organizations have identified at least dozens of civilian casualties.”””
