Genocide. Tell me how long would it take the US to kill 30,000 civilians in a country smaller than Winnipeg but with a packed in population larger that Lithuania, if said country attacked them Oct 7th style, killing nearly as many people as died on 9/11. There are 2-3 million people in the Gaza Strip. Tell me again how 30,000 over six months counts as “indiscriminate bombing”

The civilian death toll on 10/7 is substantially lower than that of 9/11, given that at least a third of deaths were IDF. The civilian death toll in Gaza is at least 30,000, which is 10x the amount of 9/11. It doesn't compare.

The fact that you're in outright genocide denial at this stage is honestly quite telling that you're immune to facts and evidence.

I think he meant compared to 9/11 in proportion of people killed to total population, which is actually a much more impactful event since Israel is a smaller country. The civilians death toll in Gaza isn’t 30,000, those are estimates for the total death toll, and also provided by Hamas themselves so pretty iffy. Those deaths were brought forth due to war, not a genocidal attack, at a civilian casualty typical of other conflicts (50-90% usual) especially taking into account urban combat and Hamas violating the rules of war at the expense of the population they govern. Honestly quite dumb to call it genocide, haven’t read further than the headlines about any other war but this one because, you know, jews.
