Maybe you think Save the Children is Hamas? https://www.savethechildren.net/news/gaza-3195-children-killed-three-weeks-surpasses-annual-number-children-killed-conflict-zones I note that the article goes to some effort to say that its recent figures are from the Gazan health authority, which hamas administrators control. They are careful to say this in light of questioning of those figures. Other organisations have said they've checked hamas figures in the past and seen few errors. But, you can see the issues with getting figures accurately at this point. Mr Biden drew attention to this issue a week or more ago. Presumably he then asked his intelligence staff to make their own estimates. Has anyone seen the US's figures for casualties of gazan population ? Seems like the US has had time to research it. I see photos of flattened buidlings in gaza, whole zones flattened. Maybe no one died. But seems likely a lot did die. But OK, let get reliable figures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop trying to re write history Though it matters little to this debate, and I write it more for pedantic purposes, Jews had been a minority in what was greater Palestine since around the 4th Century. For the next 1500 years or so, Jews were between 1% and 4% of the population. As the Zionist Movement grew from around the 1920s, Jewish representation grew into double digit percent. By the end of 1945, Jews were still only half as large as the Moslem population, and a third of the overall population, the rest made up of Christians. The Mandate granted the land to an ethnic group who were still a minority, though the impetus behind that decision is understandable (the Holocaust being the last straw in discrimination/pogroms/genocide going back to at least Roman times). That never sat well with the previous Moslem majority, and the past 75 years have yet to quell the tensions. I doubt the next 75 will be any better, especially if current events and this thread are any indication.

MrMojoRisin Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 1 hour ago, Lemsta69 said: JDAM ordnance costs a heap of money and Israel doesn't have an unlimited supply. So I'll hazard a guess and say that most or all of the bombs hit their intended targets, as opposed to the IAF just flying around looking for targets of opportunity. Your guesses are worth zero. I'll hazard a guess and say due to the lack of legitimate military targets, the IAF literally just flew around and drop bombs anywhere they could get a kill to sate their desire for vengeance. 1 hour ago, Lemsta69 said: Why there were civilians in the area when the bombs hit? Best ask the leader of Hamas who uses his supposed brothers and sisters as human shields and blows them up when they try to leave. Because the bombs hit residential areas. 1 hour ago, Lemsta69 said: At any rate, your description of the Israeli bombardment as "carpet bombing" is just plain wrong therefore hard to take anything you say seriously. I was very clear that I was using the term carpet bombing based upon my own subjective view on the matter. It maybe hyperbolic, but the situation demands such language. If the roles were reversed and it was the Palestinians with US supplied state of the art weaponry levelling Israeli residential areas I would be saying the exact same thing about them.

BarraMarra Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Let's all get back on the Original Thread " Israel at War ". Bullet Points - Was this started on 7th October Yes. Reason for the War - A Terrorist Organisation crossed the border from Gaza into Israel and Slaughtered men Woman and Children. They then kidnapped men, women, and Children and forced them to be held as Hostages within Gaza. Israel has begun a campaign to destroy Hamas and Return Israeli and many other Nationaliy's kidnapped by Hamas. Hamas is Stockpiling Ammunition and firing Rockets within built-up Areas in Gaza. Sadly due to this Civilians will be killed however if Hamas had not fired Rockets into Israel this would not be happening now. Was Israel Targeting Gaza Daily Prior to 7th Oct NO. This is the main reason for this thread anything moving away takes the thread nowhere. In my opinion any members not wishing to debate this thread should refrain from posting on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you say "carpet bombing" , you don't actually mean it in the sense of how the rest of the World perceives that word , its just a good powerful word to say that gets peoples attention , rather like "Genocide" "Apartheid" "War crimes" and its a way to get a response 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wikipedia backs up your figures: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Palestine_(region) In 1800 it says there were 7,000 jews in Palestine. 22,000 christians and 246,000 muslims. Tiny percentage of jews. The Zionist movement changed that from 1890 onwards. You say its pedantic, not relevant to this era. But I think a case canbe made that the Zionist movement is the main root cause of todays issues. A powerful, well resourced group of european and US jews chose to come to Palestine in very large numbers. The native, indigenous population started to resist. And it continues today. Its colonialism, and the natives are resisting ofcourse. Has quite a lot of appeal as an explanation ? Yes/no ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting a war unfortunately has consequences, these animals must never be in a position to repeat their vile acts ever again. The war had started much earlier than 7 October 2023, it began when Israel illegally occupied the West bank and Gaza and kept building -ever since- illegal settlements on occupied land. Real animals and war criminals are Netanyahu and his army who have killed so far close to 4,000 children alone in just over 3 weeks in their pursuit of revenge for perceived humiliations inflicted by a few hundred lightly armed fighters. Targeting women, children, press, hospitals, schools, places of worship, houses etc. is nothing but State Terrorism at its worst.
