    I mean, you’re right. In terms of proportionality, are the terms fair? No, they aren’t, for the reason you point out. They aren’t proportionately more brutal than other responses to terrorism. 22,500 is 0.004% of the population of Palestine. There’s Colonialists that have wiped out entire populations, but like the war in Iraq killed 0.6% of the population. Proportionately, Iraq killed 150 times more civilians, if I’m doing this math correctly. Not my strongest skill.

        5.4m people in all Palestine. Downvoted okay for what? The claim is that Israel is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

        0.004% of all Palestinians have been killed. It’s sad. It’s a war, though, war is sad. Is it a brutal war, or a murderous war? Have to compare it to other wars.

        Where am I wrong here?
