It is a month since Hamas launched its unexpected and brutal attack on Israel. More than 1,400 Israelis were killed in the assault, and more than 240 were taken hostage, according to a count by Israeli officials. The Hamas-run Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip says more than 10,000 Palestinians have died in the military campaign launched in response by Israel.
Yes, that’s very easy to explain. One side has a focus on protecting its citizens, designing systems to help keep their casualties down despite tens of thousands of rockets fired at their cities. The other side doesn’t give a shit about their civilians, instead using them as human shields to conduct their operations under.
That’s how you end up with that discrepancy.
You realise those 165K are injured by the IDF, and don’t you find it a bit disproportionate? Like 27 times more injured. And please do not tell me that you consider all those 165K Palestinians to be all terrorists, as I said before only 30K are supposed to be associated with Hamas’ military wing.
And what about the human violations topic, the illegal settlements, the impunity of IDF soldiers and settlers. How many of those had been given effective sentences for killing or injuring unprovoked Palestinians?
Or actively targeting journalists, expelling human rights activists, trying to discredit the UN, etc. Does this sound to you very democratic? Because in my eyes it is quite the opposite. You know there was a member of your parliament who was calling for dropping a nuclear bomb over Gaza, so he got removed from the government but he wasn’t brought to court or actively investigated. And guess what will happen if someone from Palestine suggests the same. This guy will be killed, his home bulldozed and it would be widespread condemnation, etc.
This I call double standards!
