Morally, it is difficult to disagree with you. Obviously, every single life lost is a tragedy. But, at least in my view, any accusation of genocide should be supported by evidence, which is why it is such a difficult thing to prove. Genocide is not simply about killing lots of people. It's killing lots of people with the goal of wiping out a "genus" i.e. a group of people. How do you prove that? It's very difficult, unless you have some documentation, which was for example key evidence after WWII. Nazi Germany had kept thousands of pages of official records about the "Judenfrage" and the "Endlösung" and what happened in the concentration camps
So this ratio (even if I'd agree that it's very morbid) can be very important as a higher ratio would imply a recklessness on behalf of the IDF and could be used as evidence for genocidal intent.
SO if the ratio is so important and it claims to be 1:1 that according to you, is acceptable, Why Israel doesn't allow reporters and independent experts to be on the field and prove it? wouldn't be that precisely they don't want that?
The thing is over and over the numbers that ministery of health in palestine has been given had been always verifies and trust worthy. In the other hand, the numbers from Israel has not.
At the same time, they have the Schrodinger syndrome. Believing Hamas on the 6000 combatants but not believing the ministry of health of the total deaths
Also I believe a lot about partisan sources not being trustworthy, specially in war times and specially in the war of manipulation that israel has engaged. They had been lying or straightforward manipulated any minor thing like the UNRWA for the sake of mudding a completely 1 sided massacre and trying to legitimize it as self defense and as a regular war instead of a genocide
a side that tiktok army making a heart with their fingers while blowing up Universities and hospitals, not bombing but demolishing tells me everything I need to know what is its intent and numbers are just that, numbers. If they would be 10k children or woman it would be a tragedy and a genocide if made as intent and Israel will be disputing the numbers in a partidist article like that and will say is more like 5k. If it would be 30k, they would do the same and they would say is 15k and if it would be 100k, they would say the same and they would say 50k. And downplaying the numbers at any stage it causes the same effect of "is not that bad" when if you go from now at 15K (Israel sources) vs 30k (palestinian sources) to 50k vs 100k in november, it would have the downplaying effect missing the point that the 50k (from Israel ) in november is higher than the 30K (palesinian) now.
We can hide in articles as much as you want. We have thousands of pictures and videos of:
- IDF lauging at the destruction of universities and hospitals
-IDF laughing putting underwear
- Kids litteraly dying of starvation or prostrated in beds with clear symptoms of malnutrition while israel civilians supported by the IDF doesn't allow to enter aid
- kids being snipped in gaza and west bank while playing
- people being sniped to try to get water
- massacres of people being killed to try to get food
- Israelis celebrating rockets destrying everything
- Israeli celebrity singing that they will destroy and conquer gaza and everybody cheering
- kids maimed
- People in the west bank are getting killed the fastest rate ever, stealing the vegetables and fruits of their fields, cutting trees and burning them. Then stealing their houses
- Kidnapping in the west bank
- old women being sniped crossing the streets with kids
- high officials from the Israel government saying that all palestinians even the kids (that they are vermin) are guilty and deserve to day
- high officials that say that palestinians are subhuman animals
And much more. Numbers? a few thousands more or less matters little. There are literally tens of thousands under the premises of the proven pictures and videos stated above. This is genocide and we never had so much proof than now
