> I would leave aside all proportions and corrections for population: because otherwise you need to multiply by a factor between 2 and 4 the deaths and injuries in Gaza to compare them with those of Israel. You'd probably not want to.
Why wouldn't I want to ? I'm not gonna deny for a moment what Gaza is going through isn't traumatic, of course it is. That's reality. And saying what Israel is going through is nothing is delusional as well.
- throw310822 2y agoI think comparing what Israel is going through with the destruction of Gaza- which is comparable to that of Dresden or Warsaw, a wasteland of ruins, starving people, corpses and amputated civilians- is, well, obscene.
- weatherlite 2y agoGaza is suffering much more - I never tried to say otherwise. I'm not sure what the point of this argument is anymore to be honest. It seems you can't or won't admit that Israelis are suffering quite a bit for some reason even if it pales in comparison to Gaza.
- throw310822 2y agoThe point is that this is not a war. It's a massacre in which an army is killing tens of thousands of civilians and razing an entire region to the ground, while itself is suffering minimal casualties.
- weatherlite 2y agoAs I said , they're not minimal. What are you comparing it to exactly.
