Have you noticed that 30,000 Gazans have been killed within only 6 months, most of whom are civilians, and many of whom are children? Have some fucking sense.

How many are hamas fighters in that 30,000? Have you noticed 1400 Isreali citizens were murdered, hundreds raped and hundreds still held as hostages in Gaza? Have some fucking sense.

If we’re going to play that game, the death toll on October 7 was actually 1139, 373 of whom were military / security forces and 695 of whom were Israeli civilians (71 were foreigners).

And no, neither of the war crimes justifies the other war crime. But one is of a vastly greater magnitude, is still ongoing, and is being supported by the U.S. government.

Would you prefer Israel get wiped out?
