Israel is under attack

But this graphic, like a lot of statistical graphics, doesn't tell the whole story. It's easy to look at the numbers and think Israel is clearly the more barbaric entity.

Gaza is incredibly densely populated, densely constructed, and that alone is going to lead to massive collateral injury and death when you bomb such a place. On top of that, when the military targets you're aiming for are deliberately hidden behind the general population that only increases the chances. In reverse, when Israel is targeted it is generally these shitty firework type missiles aiming at largely open areas with pockets of urban development, so the injuries and deaths are far less, and now that they have 'Iron Dome' (and probably soon a laser defence) that figure will continue to decline.

"Ah yes you see the genocide that Israel is committing is only because of the dense construction of Gaza!"

Don't get me wrong btw, I think there's evil on both sides. Condemning the traditional Israeli violence against Palestinians in no way means I'm in favor of the Palestinian violence against Israel. Both sides are guilty of atrocities.

And Gaza is only so dense because it's essentially an open air prison that the Palestinians were forced into when the Zionists kicked them out of Israel. 750,000 Palestinians displaced in 1948.

And now they haven't been able to get concrete into Gaza for who knows how long to build water salination plants, and now people are excusing Israel for cutting off their water. It's entirely unhinged

I'm still amazed at how the US hasn't got over religion yet. I live in the UK - noted for being the least religious nation on earth.

We don't mock or attack people of faith - we consider it more of a mental health issue.

Again, that's your implication, not mine.

I quoted your words.

You said you consider people of faith to have a mental health issue.

I said, so I presume you consider the Palestinians to be mentally ill as well?

Then you said you never implied that.

Make it make sense.

Egypt discusses Gaza aid, rejects corridors for civilians, say sources

Egypt has discussed plans with the United States and others to provide humanitarian aid through its border with Gaza Strip but rejects any move to set up safe corridors for refugees fleeing the enclave, Egyptian security sources said on Wednesday.

I see Egypt is attempting to provide humanitarian supplies for the peoples of Gaza but won't provide a corridor for refugees. Is that purely a practical issue or is it concern that the conflict could spread to their nation?

Another non-answer.

Do you consider religious Muslims from Palestine to be mentally ill in the same way you consider Christians from the US to be mentally ill?

I consider religion to be a delusion regardless of who holds that delusion, as do the majority of British people.

You never asked. You asked about specific nations.

You began by singling out a specific nation.

I'm still amazed at how the US hasn't got over religion yet. I live in the UK - noted for being the least religious nation on earth.

I was attempting to ascertain if you applied the same judgement across all cultures.

The "religion is a mental health issue" part wasn't a joke.
No need to white knight soso.

I read that as a joke. I half agree with it 🤣
The more religious a person the more retarded i assume they are.
Sort of like bl admin that argue over bullshit things to make themselves feel better

Last time I checked, Palestinians are considered an ethnic group, not a religious group. Within Palestine their are people of differing faiths and indeed people who profess no faith whatsoever.

Everyone knows what religion Palestinians mainly are . Some just will bash every religion except the religion of " peace"
