Hey folks, I'm just logging on to try and find out why people are supporting what seems to be terrorists. It's important to understand sources, as I've never heard of this particular news outlet. No need for the vitriol.

Just a note that this 30k includes militants, and that the total civilian value was revised downwards yesterday, to a ratio of civilians:combatants that is actually pretty darn low

I read this and was bewildered and amazed and decided to check out the source, Quds News. Apparently they are affiliated with Hamas and have been banned from TikTok, Twitter, and Meta. I'm not sure I trust it...

If you're cherry picking quotes (from 75 yrs ago, no less) and using them to generalize current mindstates amongst an entire country, I have bad news for you on the "Palestinians"...

Not cool that these things were said to you, it sounds to me like they were frustrated that their side has been raped and murdered and tortured on and since October 7th

Democracy has already been attempted in Gaza... It resulted in Hamas throwing members of the minority party off rooftops directly following the election.

I'm also interested in knowing when Hamas offered to surrender. My understanding is that they prefer to remain in absolute power, as they have for some time now.

If they wanted to commit genocide, they could do so tomorrow, with the arms that they currently have at their disposal. The ratio of combatants killed to civilians killed is on par with typical urban warfare numbers. The use of the word genocide in this context waters down its meaning.

Not true. Only the armed conflicts in which one side's goal is to wipe another country and people off the map. This is actually relatively rare. And in this case it would not lead to genocide, since not all Palestinians are Hamas.

You would have to be heartless to not be in solidarity with the Palestinians, but you would have to be in mental shambles to express solidarity with Hamas

Are the illustrative bars on this graph way out of wack or is it just me?
