    There are no figures for Gazan civilian casualties.

    People like you are why the world is so shit.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Israel–Hamas_war

    As of 8 September 2024, over 42,000 people (40,972 Palestinian[1] and 1,478 Israeli[13]) have been reported as killed in the Israel–Hamas war, including 116 journalists according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (111 Palestinian, 2 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[14], 134 journalists and media workers according to the International Federation of Journalists (127 Palestinian, 4 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[15] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, including 179 employees of UNRWA.[16]

    Or is this the part where you’re gonna push Zionist propaganda about how there’s no way to know how many of those TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DEAD were “actually civilians”, despite most of them being children?

      But most of them arent children.

      I accept the 42,000 casualty figure, but there’s no source for how many are civilians. Certainly some are! But the mistake you’re making is that you’re reading “42,000 Palestinians” and some brainworm is causing you to interpret that to mean “42,000 civilians.” But that’s not what that means - Hamas fighters and unassociated militants are Palestinians, too.

        and some brainworm is causing you to interpret that to mean “42,000 civilians.”

        I laughed out loud. You’re extremely brainwashed, my man.

        You’re doing what’s known as “guilty-before-proven-innocent”.

        Disgusting.

        https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/8/15/israel-kills-more-than-40000-palestinians-in-gaza-16456-of-them-children

        Israel’s relentless war on Gaza has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, at least 16,456 of them children and over 11,000 women.

        Slaughtering women, children and murdering aid workers, and yet you have the audacity to claim “they were probably all part of the Palestinian armed forces” oh wait such a force doesn’t exist? Hamas, you mean, which isn’t the same as Palestine?

        Doesn’t matter what cognitive highjinks you get up to, you’re defending people slaughtering women and children you disgusting pos.

        Israel bombs schools and hospitals and cries “yeah they were actually hamas”.

        And you don’t see through that? You’re Israeli, aren’t you? Jewish, at least.

          You’re doing what’s known as “guilty-before-proven-innocent”.

          Wars don’t only kill the guilty.

          Again, what’s your source for 52,000 civilian casualties in Gaza?

          Israel’s relentless war on Gaza has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, at least 16,456 of them children

          Is 16,500 “most” of 42,000? Does that math math?

            You’re an illiterate brainwashed nationalist. I never said 52000 civilians.

            Youre defending the slaughter of women and children you disgusting pos.

            The burden of proof is on the entity doing the killing, dipshit.

            I wish people like you had to actually show their face when defending this utter drivel. You wouldn’t have the balls to, and thus would keep your moronic mouth shut.
