      Don’t forget the public admission from Israel that they want to kill everyone in Gaza that doesn’t leave.

      Yes, Hamas is evil and did heinous things to the Israeli people, but the response was disproportionate and targeted civilians. Even the lowest estimates show that one in every fifty people in Gaza have been killed, and that number includes mostly women and children, not combatants. Heck, other estimates show nearly double that death toll.

      This. It goes far beyond reckless, far beyond callous; it’s literal genocide.

        The UN has published the estimated deaths to be at least 200k+ because of famine and the lack of medical care.

        • Humanitarian aid was blocked
        • Food trucks were stopped
        • Hospitals are bombed

        That’s a Genocide.

        • Oh yeah, no doubt about it. I just can’t ever know how many bodies are under the remains of their buildings. I imagine that could even be a conservative number. I doubt they were doing a census.

          It’s making me sick thinking about it every day and I’m so privileged to even have the luxury of giving a shit.
