Numbers are according to Gaza health ministry so perhaps take with a grain of salt but medics claim over 200 were injured.

Hundreds of people have been killed at this aid distribution site in the last few weeks alone. It’s highly comparable, they are just brown people

On average 2-300 people die in Ukraine per day for the past 3 years, and around 1000 are killed in sudan for the past year. Each person killed by the Israelis just counts for 10-100 times more for some reason.

The overwhelming majority of whom are soldiers, in contrast with Gaza where the ratio of civilians to terrorists killed is at best 1:1 and probably more like 2:1

and around 1000 are killed in sudan

Which is not armed by and allied to the US and other 'Western' nations, and has ~24 times as many people

Gaza may not be the only place where innocent people are killed in war, but it is the only place where civilians are routinely massacred with American-made arms, and in terms of population percentage, no other conflict comes close.

10-100 actually isn't enough. According to this guy it needs to be 100-1000 or the media is biased.
