“Game over”?

Can you think of a more disrespectful way to address this situation? Imagine gamifying literal genocide.

It’s just an expression. No need to detract from the topic.

Doesn’t make it not extremely insensitive. Pretty poor choice of saying when referring to the deaths of 6,000 people.

pretty sure you can edit the title very simply to avoid this entirely, try the end, or similar

Israel has literally displaced millions of people, and pretty much anybody living in Gaza has lost some relatives at this point. I can’t imagine that Hamas will have a lack of volunteers going forward. The reality is that Hamas has been preparing for this sort of conflict for many years, and so far there is no indication that Israel managed to make any strategic gains in Gaza. All they’ve accomplished was to massacre tends of thousands of civilians, displace millions of people, and create a massive humanitarian crisis.

So the IDF killed like 20,000+ civilians to kill 6,000 militants. Monstrous.

Even that is likely an undercount

At this point, they’re just assuming every 1/3 of Gaza’s human population (male et 18+) is Hamas

Children younger than 18 years, women aged 18–59 years, and both men and women aged 60 years or older (groups that probably include few combatants) constituted 68·1% of analysable deaths (4594/6745; figure B).

I mean, you could look at the 1982 Hama massacre (in Hafez’s Syria, not to be confused with Palestine) and just realize their civilian casualties might be more than 7/10 of the total ones reported… why can’t ye say the same about Israel’s modern estimations?

Palestine

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose “defence force”'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
