    October 7th inventists obsess over the senseless violence directed at women and children on that day. The fact is that fewer than 30% of those killed on October 7th were women or children.

    In Gaza, 70% of the >40k (gross underestimate) are women and children.

    Death to israel and every genocide denier, justifier, and normalizer. This century’s nazis deserve an even more crushing defeat

      30% seems like a very high estimate of civilians honestly, since less than 30% of Israel’s population are civilians.

      Over 90% of Israeli adults are current or former IDF. Finding a place where 30% of people are civilians would honestly be impressive.

      Although following the news you’d think the IDF is somehow the world’s only all-civilian military. Like that Israeli-American “hostage” whose family the Democrats kept trotting out, who finished active duty in Gaza ~6 months before October 7th. Thats not a hostage, that’s a prisoner of war.

      About 600-700 were civilians, of whom we know some were killed by IOF forces. Split it down the middle and maybe resistance forces killed 350 on the high end, in a crossfire

        Exactly. It’s mind-boggling how the story of October 7th seems so far removed from the truth. And of course, israel will ensure that the world will never know exactly how much blood from October 7th is on their hands. Their regime relies on delusion.

        Even besides israel killing themselves, didn’t military and police make up at least 30% of the israelis who died on Oct. 7th? I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen israel defenders claim that the IOF killing 1 “Hamas” for every 5, 10, or 20 civilians is just how war goes.

        No matter how you slice it, Hamas’ sins on October 7th pale in comparison to israel’s barbarism.
