    Note that this means “83% of people killed were civilians”, not that 83% of civilians were killed. As the graph in the article illustrates, that puts this neck and neck with other recent genocides:

      Notably, Hamas on Oct 7 killed two civilians for every military casualty. By the IDF’s own numbers, the IDF are literally greater terrorists than Hamas. Hamas literally does a better job at avoiding civilian casualties than the IDF does.

      The fact that this sentence can be said, unironically, and backed with data, is kinda depressing.

    isreal wants the palestinian civillians to leave the area.

    does that happen if isreal is very careful and avoids harming civillians and its pretty safe for civillians even if they stay?

    or if the civillians know they risk being horrifically and indiscriminately massacred if they stay?

    they get international hate for their actions; they also get what they want.

      We’re actually doing OK. Fortunately the tools to ban users and remove their bullshit is like, 2 clicks, total.

      That being said, they’ve created a bunch of accounts with 8,000+ posts soooo… like 12 clicks? LOL.
