World war 2 is a bad comparison, for multiple reasons. One example- Germany invades Poland then USSR, civilians in those places die. USSR drives them back, but still most of the war in this effort is in USSR and Poland, more of their civilians die. Since most of the war took place outside of Germany, relatively few of their civilians died.
Guess they don't teach self-awareness and irony in Never Neverland either. I'm starting to be concerned about their education system.
You mean the Iraq war with a civilian casualty rate of 77%? While fighting in simpler conditions e.g. less densely populated areas?
Not whataboutism, as I am not mentioning this to take away from anything else. It is to point out the hypocrisy of the pro-Palestine posters who claim to care for civilians on both sides but ignore Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity. Also hostages being kept in UNRWA employees' houses is a particularly interesting bit of information but no one seems to want to talk about it... oh well.
This argument was used multiple times throughout the thread, no one seems to care how suicide bombers, indiscriminate rocket fire, and the Oct 7 massacre affect the Israeli population.
-IDF is on the ground only thanks to the air strikes and artillery.
More than double of the IDF is reservists. Two months ago they were civilians, and are there because they have to be, not because they want to. The rest are drafted due to law. Not the same as e.g. U.S military where people are by choice. Can't say "comes with the job" if it's literally not their job.
There are Arab and Palestinian citizens of Israel. Gaza is not where they live. Their government is Hamas, who don't seem too concerned with their well-being.
Because it is factually incorrect?
Please point to any place where I make any of these claims. Of course you'd be wasting your time trying since I don't agree with any of them, unless point 4 refers to extermination of Hamas rather than Palestinians, in which case I agree. You should know that since not too long ago I was discussing peace plans and two state solutions here, suggesting the Palestinians should have agreed to them. You should also know that since you liked this post by me way back on page 4.
Maybe you keep imagining the subtext you mentioned to accuse me of being genocidal and racist so you can dismiss what I say without addressing it? Or could be other reasons that aren't obvious to me. SSOers do work in mysterious ways.
Because I agree with the contents of that post and was hoping it was indicative of where you were going with things, but clearly not. You, much like others in this thread, don't like the disgusting arguments you're making when they're distilled down to their obvious conclusions.
I don't think $3000/yr is enough to load your entire family on a plane and start a new life somewhere no.
Selectively glossed over the 1:2 civilian to combatant number in the sentence right before that? Also the fact that the war in Iraq is near universally condemned as a boondoggle and a black mark on the reputation of the US (which includes other atrocities as well)?
Like Hamas did, exactly. Glad you're catching up.
You making illogical leaps and conclusions is not on me.
Yes, since he claimed I can't compare it to the Iraq war, so I did. The Afghanistan war is significantly "better". Summed together, still more civilians than combatants. Still as I mentioned neither of these (and definitely the world wars) is directly comparable to this (Israel-Hamas) war. I linked that wiki page to demonstrate that civilian casualties usually outnumber soldier casualties, often significantly, not to compare any two different wars 1:1. But again SSOers try to map this conflict to a conflict of their choosing in order to support their argument, rather than learn and generalize from previous conflicts to the new one.
Mm, selective reading again. Afghanistan was almost 1:3 civilian to combatant.
Yes, I did bring it up to demonstrate that civilians casualties are high in war, and are unavoidable even in the most favorable circumstances. I did not compare a single conflict to the current war, since they are different, a concept you and others have a difficulty grasping.
The attached number was GDP divided by population. Per capita income numbers are hard to come by but every one I read was somewhere between $2700 and $3700.

Go back and read the edit. The point is that economic activity and income in Gaza are both very low.

That was my bad because I kept typing in income and Google kept giving me articles about GDP. Type in per capita income gaza or Palestine and see what articles you get.
