pfft, remember all those countries telling Israel they better not bomb Rafah?

So anyway they started blastin'

"Whats everyone so upset about? We've only killed 1% of the Palestine population. We're minimizing civilian deaths. Ignore the fact it's overwhelmingly women and children though."

30,000 of 2 million is 1.5%.

That's halfway to the Bosnian genocide levels in less than a year.

I don’t know what makes my head spin more, the rate at which Israel is slaughtering Palestinians not just with the absolutely mental amount of bombs they are dropping on a tiny area but also with the cutting off of basic necessities and the associated starvation and deaths of despair….. or the fact that US media, Joe Biden and US centrists just don’t seem to have a “too far” for Israel slaughtering Palestinians.

According to the UN it may be as much as 6 percent. Nobody has looked under the rubble yet.
