But don't call it genocide. nt TeamProg Dec 2023 #2

I don't. If Israel was really committing genocide, there'd be 10-20x more dead. LymphocyteLover Dec 2023 #5

And if it happens, then call it genocide. Igel Dec 2023 #13

do we really know the number of dead? WhiteTara Dec 2023 #9

We do not unless you trust Hamas EX500rider Dec 2023 #10

Their numbers are usually not that bad in past wars. Igel Dec 2023 #14

I frankly doubt the efficiency to issue daily numbers EX500rider Dec 2023 #17

Yeah sure, but aren't you the slightest bit horrified? TeamProg Dec 2023 #28

Wow. AloeVera Dec 2023 #34

Ok but let's keep it in perspective. AloeVera Dec 2023 #38

As you know, no one has those numbers. AloeVera Dec 2023 #42

Less than 100,000 so we don't need to worry our f'ing pretty little heads about it. lostnfound Dec 2023 #25

Well self-bombing is not an option. AloeVera Dec 2023 #35

Very sad, indeed. Hamas could end the war today by surrendering - arms and hostages elias7 Dec 2023 #3

Yes. Still, it's hard to figure what the benefit of this strike was LymphocyteLover Dec 2023 #4

Yes, I agree, it does seem indiscriminate elias7 Dec 2023 #6

I'm sorry but it's 12 weeks too late for that. AloeVera Dec 2023 #36

Could have been a member of the family was targeted, or something was stored in the basement or on the roof. Igel Dec 2023 #16

Or, indiscriminate bombing could stop.... onecaliberal Dec 2023 #18

Like Hamas rocket attacks? NickB79 Dec 2023 #23

There are vast differences. AloeVera Dec 2023 #32
