Ah yes genocide, where 14,500 people out of 2.048 Million have been killed in 45 days (0.7% of the population) in the war started by terrorists hiding behind the same civilians, and that number too given by the very same so trustworthy oh so poor terrorists I mean freedom fighters (who also include their own fighters killed in that number, as those poor freedom fighters have filmed themselves fighting in civilian clothes hence they are civilians), who kill their own civilians with their own crappy rockets yet blame it on the other party, and each one of the 14k killed hand counted and verified by the poor honest doctors who have never seen a gun bearing terrorist inside a hospital nor ever seen a tunnel or a hostage, being committed by the strongest military power in the region, which has the capacity to kill all those 2Million people in a single day!
That is a convenient choice of time to label that as the start to this war.
Who crossed the Gaza-Israel border to massacre villages and cities at the beginning of October?
...well, lets assume for once that it started earlier. Like 50 years earlier. And that for some people on both sides this has been on and off since then.That conflict is old, very old. And to say "it started in October" is just so wrong in many aspects.
The current conflict did, and if we go to the past to say "no u started it" we'd go back to the bronze age
is 14500 people not a lot?
Did someone redefine genocide to "killing a number of people that u/Iseif deems 'a lot'"?
well what is it then.?
WWII resulted in 0.265% of the world's total population being killed over the course of 72 months, while Israel murdered 0.7% of a population in only 1.5 months. They also displaced roughly 1.5 Million of those 2 Million people, many of which might not have anything to return to. Their methods were also pretty damnable considering they intentionally closed off 2 of the borders and consistently shelled the only remaining border making it nearly impossible to flee.
There's just... so much to unpack here.
Maybe we just throw the whole damn suitcase away.
