Conveniently left out the number of rockets Palestinians have launched indiscriminately at Israeli cities, and they're sourcing statistics from the Gaza Health Ministry, which is literally Hamas.

The US and UN have used trusted the GHM numbers for decades. Now that there is a genocide they're being questioned.

It also implies some smaller number is more acceptable. What is it? 6000? 4000? 2000? How many dead civilians would you like there to be?

No, questioning Hamas's bullshit has always been a thing. Btw, call it what you will it's still Hamas.

I was told elsewhere that genocides only count if you mean it.
"Israel, Hamas, and the accidental genocide: Benni made a boo boo"

How many people did those rockets kill? Was it a lot?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

The air defense system mitigates a lot, which does to lead people like you hand-waving tens of thousands of rockets fired indiscriminately.

Even those systems have weakness, as Oct 7th proved, they can simply be overwhelmed.
