Here's the thing - Hamas isn't actively killing Israeli civilians anymore. You can argue that if we don't fully wipe Hamas they will in the future, but right now, almost exclusively Gaza civilians are being killed. That ratio isn't 45:1 today, it's closer to 4500:1.
- I imagine most are dead or hiding, so yeah. I'm not really sure who they think they're killing if not civilians.
I mean, technically correct. Just one side has SIGNIFICANTLY MORE casualties
The civilian:soldier death ratio is unacceptable for both sides.
But Biden is giving weapons to one side.
"Very good people on both sides."
What an asshole
Even fucking now. Jfc, thank goodness his age caught up to him. And i hope Harris has some sense
- Shes gonna be more hawkish than Biden has been
Stop aiding Israel
Media Bias Fact Check | bot support
How does Bernie, a Jewish man, see what Israel is doing but our dumbass president can't? Oh yeah, money.
- $11m in AIPAC money buys a lot of blinders.
- Israel puts ~~their~~ US money into protecting their citizens ~~instead of~~ and martyring them.
  ftfy.
- Holy shit it's almost like Israel could've just:
  Listened to intelligence reports of an impending attack.
  Actually fucking manned their border with the troops they committed to an offensive so terrorists couldn't just waltz in on motorcycles and paragliders lmao.
  And avoided committing the equivalent of around 40 x October 7ths against innocent civilians!
  Thanks for proving the point that this offensive was unnecessary.
  
  You’re such a hypocrite! You really do speak out of both sides of your mouth. Here’s Kamala (the candidate that you are rabidly willing to give up your integrity and fight fellow leftists to help install) giving a speech to her true constituents: Vote for Kamala! The harm REDUCTION candidate!
- THEIR money? Are you serious???
Technically both: gottem
Actually if it indeed is 45:1 i must admit that i did not know that so many israeli civilians had been killed!
Edit: I legit thought that the only Israeli civilians killed in this conflict were the hostages. Is this still the case?
- Presumably that includes Israeli hostages being bombed by IDF and malfunctions. Who killed them wasn't made clear.
Is it really surprising that a government that started a war while spending zero dollars on air superiority, zero dollars on artillery, zero dollars on defensive fortifications, zero dollars on civilian bomb shelters, zero dollars on radar and enemy detection and zero dollars on a military college for its officers is losing the war it started with a 45:1 casualty ratio?
If Israel were truly trying to maximize harm in Gaza it could easily be 4500:1.
This is special Olympics vs. Olympics here.
