      They’re right, the title is misleading. It says “number of bombs” but then there’s the asterisk that says “Estimated tons of explosives dropped”. It’s still a harrowing statistic, but they could’ve worded it better. They could’ve said “Amount of bombs” and they wouldn’t be misleading.

        I mean considering most bombs weight quarter to half of a ton, this stat in tonnes makes it much more ghastly than if that was a number of bombs.

      “Amount of bombs dropped on Gaza surpass ww2” this is just false. And false by a BIG AMOUNT like ten of millions of bombs. A lot of peoples will just see the title and will not dig deeper , they will never see that it was compared to some cities and not the war field. That s horrible tho but the headline is misleading
