wow did you know that ~50% of people are female and ~50% of people in Gaza are children? what a shocking statistic that ~70% of people killed are women or children!
im just mocking the stats in the title because it implies that women and children are targeted but it’s not like prioritising men or adults makes it any better
it’s not like you can ethically decide whether any one of these age groups/genders are more guilty/innocent/valuable/important
killing through genocide is similarly unjust however you do it, it’s just that sometimes discriminating some groups makes it more beneficial for the genociding party (e.g. deaths of children are more emotionally powerful when used in media)
the stats don’t say that they don’t discriminate though, it’s just saying they don’t discriminate based on their status as a child or an adult, or gender
That just reinforces the fact that it’s an actual genocide. If the general population wasn’t just being murdered en masse, the statistics would skew towards military targets.

hey fucking idiot: in war you usually don’t kill people statistically randomly.
