Among the hardest hit are the Mughrabi family: more than 70 were killed in a single Israeli airstrike in December. The Abu Najas: over 50 were killed in October strikes, including at least two pregnant women. The large Doghmush clan lost at least 44 members in a strike on a mosque and the total soared over 100 weeks later; by spring, over 80 members of the Abu al-Qumssan family had been killed.
All it took to radicalize Luke Skywalker into blowing up a military installation with millions of people living in it was a dead Aunt and Uncle…
And people act like they don’t understand why Hamas keeps getting recruits.
Imagine you were hanging out at a neighbors place and came home to see 70 members of your family dead and your whole neighborhood leveled.
Ironically doesn’t this star wars analogy work the other way. Israel citizens are attacked. A small relatively small amount of civilians die. Then Israel goes commits genocide.
Only if you start the series in the middle of the timeline like George Lucas…
Both sides think they’re the good guys with something to avenge. And both sides probably do have that.
We should probably stop supporting Israel. That country became shitty right after their first response. I think that first response was sort of expected but then they just went too far. I wouldn’t want to be associated with all this they are doing. Murdering entire families. That’s nazi.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The AP review encompassed casualty records released by Gaza’s health ministry until March, online death notices, family and neighborhood social media pages and spreadsheets, witness and survivor accounts, as well as a data from Airwars, a London-based conflict monitor.
Hundreds of local reporters juggled covering the relentless Israeli bombings – 6,000 in the first five days of the war – while running for their own lives and seeking shelter for themselves and their families.
In the first month after Hamas deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel, which killed about 1,200 people, Gaza’s health ministry said 300 Palestinian families lost over 10 members.
The 10 strikes analyzed by AP mainly hit residential buildings, homes and shelters where parents, children, grandparents were huddled together for safety.
In one attack in the crowded Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, Israeli bombs erased an entire block of buildings.
The law of war allows for a “sort of rushed form of warfare” with higher civilian casualties where a military needs to respond quickly and in changing circumstances.
