“This is not a normal war. The war in Ukraine has killed 500 kids in two years and the war in Gaza has killed over 10,000 in less than five months. We have seen wars before but this is something that is a dark stain on our shared humanity.”

This is simply false, and I wish people would stop this. The ***confirmed*** civilian casualty count in Ukraine (15 Feb) is 10582, of them 587 children. But the vast majority of deaths occurred in places now occupied by Russia, which isn't exactly keen to let people in to do body counts.

What exactly makes a "normal war" then? "It's mostly adult men dying, so we're fine"?

What a crap idea to compare two terrible and destructive situations. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children were kidnapped and taken to Russia in who knows what condition. Gaza is a tragedy. Both are terrible.

It seems clear that the IDF does not in any way consider non-Israelis to be human beings... hell, many in Israel think that diaspora Jews are traitors for just living outside Israel. The US needs to seriously reevaluate its relationship with the country.

I'm disgusted with Tsahal, waiting for them to turn their arms against their commandment & bibi

>The war in Ukraine has killed 500 kids in two years No. Just, no. The war in Ukraine has had very little attempt to count the civilian dead systematically, since they're in Russian-controlled territory. The estimates are that Mariupol alone is even with Gaza.

Worth noting Israeli snipers have been targeting children, doctors, and also random people since long before the genocide began. It’s a game to them. A sport. They like to shoot a doctor and then shoot anyone who comes to help. Inhumanity from the IDF is not new by any means.
