    Lol, “most documented genocide” where the civilian:combatant death ratio is on the low end compared to other wars and the population supposedly being genocided for the last 50-60 years has more than doubled.

      Since the start of the Israeli operation, more than 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed, including over 15,000 children and 10,000 women. Over 10,000 others are missing and presumed trapped under rubble. Nearly all of the strip’s 2.3 million Palestinian population has been forcibly displaced, and a lesser number of Israelis internally displaced. Israel’s tightened blockade cut off basic necessities and its attacks on infrastructure have led to a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, including a collapse of the healthcare system and an impending famine. By early 2024, Israeli forces had damaged or destroyed more than half of Gaza’s houses, at least a third of its tree cover and farmland, most of its schools and universities, hundreds of cultural landmarks, and dozens of cemeteries.

      We don’t know how many of the Palestinians killed were part of Hamas.
