Numbers: 23.000 killed according to Hamas / 2,100,000 population = 0.01095 x 100 to convert to a percentage. 1.095 percent of the population since October 7, 2023.
1.095 % of the population over 21 months of warfare.
So it seems the PR from Hamas which has been spun out across the worldwide intifida has been wildly successful in convincing lots of talking heads that there is a "genocide" ongoing, when there is likely a military defeat for Hamas ongoing.
As you say via your moniker, "words matter."
And it is in words -- as one of the many mental domains of thought -- that lies are so easily magnified.
There is NO genocide being committed against Arabs by Israel. But there is a war being lost by Hamas.
12% of Germans died in the war they started.
Do we cal Gernany’s WWII casualties a “Genocide“ by America?
23,000 Palies dead versus 898 Israelis dead. That makes for a 25.6 : 1 kill ratio.
The IDF is tired of playing whack-a-mole and will take over Gaza soon.
It was such a big mistake to forcibly evacuate Jews from Gaza like PM Ariel Sharon and his Likud government did. I find it bizarre that Sharon championed, from the 1970s to the 1990s, the construction of Israeli settlements in the Shomron and Gaza and then turned traitor on them.
The Hamas won the info war with its lies due to MSM culpability.
The first error is to take Hamas numbers (Gaza Health Ministry) as is,
the 2nd is to rely on its mouthpiece Al Jazeera,
the third is to promote infamous fascista Francesca Albanese dubbed Mrs. Goebbles.
