minus-squareHorseRabbit@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up53·edit-24 days agoAccording to the CIA world factbook (the only source I could find) the population spread in gaza is: 0-14 years: 38.8% (male 427,450/female 404,288) 15-64 years: 58.3% (male 627,235/female 620,903) 65 years and over: 2.9% (2024 est.) (male 31,655/female 30,112) https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/gaza-strip/#people-and-society Meaning about 30% of the population are males over 14. So I guess Israel isn’t disproportionately murdering women and children, theyre just killing everyone. So genocide.
