Does that make it any better!? That's still comparable to a small town or a large arena completely wiped away from the face of the earth. Not because they were Hamas, but because they were near Hamas.

Perhaps reduce the number of acceptable civilian casualties per target? It is public info that Israel is fine with killing up to 15-20 civilians for every lowest-ranked Hamas member. That is a ridiculously high figure in my opinion. I'

To reach Yemen figures Israel would have to kill >20% of everyone in Gaza. Bosnia's pre-war population (4.2 million) is far more comparable to Gaza's (2.4 million), that's why I picked it.

All completely valid counter-arguments. In my defence my perspective is very narrow towards only self-hostable open source tools. Like the types you might wanna self-host in a company anywhere between 10 and 200 employees. I don't ha

In layman-friendly terms, the scale goes from G1 to G5. The one in 1859 was classified as G5 (extreme), and the one the other day was the very first time G4 warning has been issued. Not as in "it'll definitely be G4", but mor
