Geneva - The Israeli army has killed 94 university professors, along with hundreds of teachers and thousands of students, as part of its genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, ongoing since 7 October 2023, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said in a statement issued on Saturday
According to Euro-Med Monitor, the Israeli army has targeted academic, scientific, and intellectual figures in the Strip in deliberate and specific air raids on their homes without prior notice. Those targeted have been crushed to death beneath the rubble, along with members of their families and other displaced families.
If from 25k dead only 17 of those are professors, it seems like a really weird claim that Israel would be deliberately targeting them…
Ahhh yes, they must have accidentally destroyed every university. Oopsies, right?
/s
But the tunnels!! /s
I think they’re busy destroying every large building in Gaza tbh
But there’s like 30% of all buildings destroyed according to some sources, and Al Jazeera is adding the nuance that all the universities are either ‘damaged or destroyed’. Which would certainly suggest that the statement that they are all destroyed is at least somewhat exagerrated.

94
University professor can be used for any university teacher, while a professor degree is a specific title. I’ve been taught by teachers with professor titles, doctorates, and masters. They are all teachers.
See my reply above with a napkin calculation - without knowing how many there are, how does one conclude they’re being targeted? The numbers are so low (sorry for the cynicism) one could argue Bibi is trying to wipe out all the window washers or something.

Imagine you’re an IDF planner and Bibi personally tasks you to use the cover of the coming campaign to take out the Palestinian academia. Three months in, you’re called in to report on your progress. Do you think he’s going to be impressed that, on top of the statistical average, you’ve managed to kill 0,34% of them?

Awareness of what? He’s clearly right while you keep relying on your feelings.
“targeted”
Your own source uses the very terminology you’re refuting.
My own source?
Yes dear, the one you quoted.
Well dear (how old are you?), it’s from the article in the OP we’re all discussing
You claimed it was incorrect to use the term targeted. You then used the term in your proof of why it wasn’t targeted.
I’m 30, whats your mother’s maiden name?
Am I prohibited from quoting from the article when I want to point out inconsistencies?
