The civilian death ratio of Palestinians to Israelis is, conservatively, 45 to 1 — and this gulf grows larger each day.

    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.

    The civilian:soldier death ratio is unacceptable for both sides.

    But Biden is giving weapons to one side.

    How does Bernie, a Jewish man, see what Israel is doing but our dumbass president can’t? Oh yeah, money.

      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.

          Nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than a spammer spewing lies and contextual half-truths following me around to other threads after I whooped their ass in in another thread.

            In that case, I’ll keep following you around and posting this since it makes you smile so much.

            It’s pretty hard to sell that “half truths” thing when all I did was share an uncut video of Kamala saying and cheering for the very things you’re pretending to be against while rabidly defending her to people that you accuse of being trolls.

              Boy, you’re really running the gamut on fallacies — now committing a straw-man fallacy of my own position! How desperate :(

              I’ll remind you of what I wrote since you keep deflecting:

              And when you muster up the courage, do let me know the utopian nation from where you reside.

              I’m betting money it’s China. Are you even allowed to say Tiananmen Square Protest and Massacre? Are you even allowed to visit this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre — copy and paste the 4th paragraph to confirm!

              The amount of deflections is laughable and a concession that I won. Thank you :)

    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?

    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.
