3% of Gaza’s were killed in a war fought in dense urban areas against Hamas, which embeds itself amongst the civilians on purpose
Gaza Health Ministry figures do not separate Hamas fighters from civilians, so combatants are included in the “civilian” totals.
Hamas still kills Palestinians inside Gaza ; public executions, maiming, and punishment of alleged collaborators, looters and rivals. That is documented by the UN and rights groups.
On 7 October 2023 Hamas led a massacre, killed about 1,200 people and took hostages. Israel’s core demand was the return the hostages and , an end to Hamas’s ability to repeat attacks
All living hostages were eventually released; the last remains were recovered in 2026.
High civilian death in urban war is not the same as Genocide.
The Nazis murdered two-thirds of Europe’s Jews in a planned attempt to wipe out a people. That is Genocide.
Gaza was a brutal war against an armed terrorist group that uses the civilian population as cover.
Those are 2 different things.
If the standard is “mass killing of a religious group,” look at Nigeria: tens of thousands of civilians, including a disproportionate number of Christians, have been killed by Fulani militias, Boko Haram and others.
This gets Fuck all attention.
Dozens of countries walked out of Netanyahu’s UN speech - 77 empty or vacated seats.
Walk out , keep walkin ; Leave your NGO money at the door
Egypt did not even open it borders to Gaza ? until well after the fact .
Apply the same standard to Hamas, to Nigeria, and to every other war. Hold Hamas accountable for starting this and what it continues to do to its own people !
Want peace?
Stop attacking Israel !
