My man you better not start reading about American civilian casualty figures. And ESPECIALLY not about israel ones.
Also most israeli civilians are IDF reservists so they are in fact uncounted soldiers. The IDF just called up 300.000 "innocent civilians" to commit genocide in Gaza? lmao.
The best number is how little children were killed in compared to the total amount of people.
Let me guess, I would find more universally abhorrent figures? What exactly do you think “universally” means?
Where the fuck did you get that from?
Do you think Netanyahu just summoned 300.000 reservists out of thin air to commit genocide in Gaza with?
Those "innocent israeli civilians" are now magically members of the IDF.

In contrary, only a small percentage of Palestinians are part of Hamas and they have no conscription in Gaza.
I don’t follow your argument. So civilians that go through compulsory military service are not civilians? Korea, Vietnam, and Denmark have basically no civilian population? Or is it wartime conscription that you have a problem with? Is every American citizen an attack target because they theoretically could be conscripted as a response to the attack?
If they are IDF conscripts they're not civilians. Don't even dare to compare israeli colonists to Koreans.
If people went into Hamas military service and become a "Hamas reservist" then you wouldn't even doubt to call those people terrorists.
There are actual israelis that rejected IDF service and even people that advocates for peace that were killed which is very sad. But the majority are military.
Hah, why not? Their conscription system works the same way, if you haven’t noticed.
