      Not that I’m for whataboutism

      But https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli–Palestinian_conflict

      More dead Palestinians due to Israel than every Islamist caused death in the past half century is pretty damning

      Remember the majority of the population of Palestine are teenagers or younger too, so it’s mostly kids being killed now.

        What numbers are you referring to? Because I don’t see any numbers higher than the one iceburg just linked to on that Wikipedia page.

          186,000 Palestinians dead due to indirect and direct causes

          It was in the info box

          Not saying you are, but if you’re gonna question that, I’m not interested in continuing the conversation

          I hate to be the reasonable one, especially on Lemmy where anti-Israel propaganda is just so hot right now, but it’s both.

          Israel is committing genocide, its horrible and disgusting. Hamas was/is very intentionally using civilians as shields. Israeli leadership and Hamas are both monsters. Their proxy backers, like Iran and the US, also share blame.
