Genocide.
Genocide is a claim of intent, which is not established via casualties. Israel claims they intend to hit Hamas targets and defend themselves, not destroy Palestinians as a group. If true, this is not genocide.
Israel has killed 1% of their population, thats insane! Anyone who says this isn’t genocide is an idiot or evil.
There’s between 20,000 to 25,000 HAMAS fighters(Not including other Palestinian factions that are fighting along HAMAS like PFLP or Islamic Jihad or DFLP), even if zero innocents would die, and it’s impossible in urban combat by your logic it would still be genocide.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah announced in its daily update on Monday that at least 22,835 people have been killed in the besieged enclave since the beginning of the war.
With the pre-war child population of Gaza at about 1.1 million, according to UNICEF, this means that one out of every approximately 120 children living in the enclave has been killed.
International organizations have been warning that the humanitarian crisis inside Gaza is now so deep that people are at risk of dying of starvation.
UN emergency relief chief Martin Griffiths said last week that famine was “around the corner” as people in Gaza face the “highest levels of food insecurity ever recorded.”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday that he plans to push the Israeli government “on the absolute imperative to do more to protect civilians” in Gaza during meetings Tuesday.
Blinken said he would also push Israeli officials on the need to increase humanitarian aid entering the war-torn strip “and also to talk to them about the future direction of their military campaign in Gaza.”

You know, sometimes we tend to blow a 1% change in civilian matters or large populations out of proportion. But let’s be real, that kind of small shift is like a tiny drop in a huge ocean. It doesn’t really shake things up much because there are usually more important factors or trends in the situation that make a way bigger impact.
We might make a big deal out of it, but honestly, it rarely has a significant influence on this war.
No its like a drop in a container that can hold a hundred drops.
But instead of drops its friends and families slaughtered
That is NOT a small shift. Let’s do some basic math.
In a population of 1 million, 1% is 10,000.
The 2022 population estimate by the US gov is 3 million on the west bank and 2 million on Gaza strip.
So even if we only talk about the Gaza strip, that’s 20,000 Gazans dead.
That’s equivalent to 6.6 9/11 tragedies in the space of 4 months. 9/11 had a fatality rate of 3000-odd.
Add in the west bank and that’s 50,000 dead. In four. Fucking. Months. That is the population of a decent sized city, just gone.
That’s equivalent to 6.6 9/11 tragedies
Using the Imperial system is like trying to solve a riddle wrapped in a mystery surrounded by inches and gallons but this is just gold
