    World War 2 was the modern era lol. I think you meant “pre-information age”?

    And Vietnam had widespread and extensive news coverage throughout the conflict from multiple sides.

      Not sure why this is so hard. Call the war of WWII part of the modern era of warfare if you’d like. I’m not defending Israel here to be clear, I just think this stat is not useful.

      Vietnam had plenty of coverage, but I listed all the other conflicting points that harm the data comparison. That specific war has always had problems being compared to other wars, let alone a one sided genocide.

      If people can’t see the difference in these data sets and why they aren’t easily comparable, that’s fine.

        No I do see what you meant. There’s no easy comparison for what they’re doing here.
