Where are all those people wailing about Hamas being monsters for killing babies? This should make them even angrier and louder.

Now don't be silly, you're implying there is logic and reason to their arguments instead of just emotion.

Yeah killing innocent children isn't the solution to anything. Shameful shit that the Whitehouse supports this horror
The EU just confirmed that they are fine with this as well. Apparently they see no problem as long as Israel says they are trying to hit terrorists. Un-f*cking-believable!

1.67 "9/11"s worth of death, in retaliation for 0.47 "9/11"s worth of dead on Oct 7th.
Or, with 9/11= 2977 and the Iraq war killing 187,000 civilians, we get a ~63:1 misplaced retaliation vs. initial attack ratio. So the one could extrapolate from the 1400 dead on Oct 7th that 88,200 innocent people in Gaza will need to be killed to quench the IDF's rage.
You missed something in your math there. IDF is considering the October 7th attack as "10 time worse than 9/11" so up those numbers close to 900,000. Maybe make it 911,911 for the fun propaganda value. With more than half of the 2.2 million Gaza population (although maybe we should start counting the West Bank killings as it is ramping up, too) being children and seeing how Israeli government doesn't discriminate , maybe they can quench their bloodthrist with young blood alone, even.
America has a population that is 35 larger than Israel. If America had lost the same percentage of their population as Israel did on Oct 7th, it would be ~49,420 dead, or the equivalence of 16 "9/11"s. That is why Biden said 10 times worse than 9/11.
Iraq currently has a population of 43.5 million. 187k is 0.42% of it's population. If we do it by percent of population, Gaza has 2 million people, so the retaliation would kill "only" 8,600.
Oh, so good news, the blood fugue is close to an end. I was worried this would get worse. /s
Why would you calculate this as a percentage of population? Do you really think the population numbers of a nation have any relevance to the value of a human life?
A certain side thinks "they have no value if their skin is a brown hue"

If you live in USA or EU your government is ok with this
Since I live in the USA, actually we fund it to the tune of several billion a year and then some.
Cryptofascists will cite dead children to justify slaughtering many times more children in retaliation, each and every time, because they see those that are killed in that retaliation as less than human.

That’s antisemitism /s
bEiNg PrO-pAlEsTiNe Is MeAn To JeWiSh PeOpLe
oh my fucking god
Does the UN or some other more neutral org have numbers? I mean, the Gaza Ministry of Health kinda has incentive to exaggerate civilian casualties, just like the IDF has incentive to say "everyone in that playground we hit with that airstrike was an Islamic Jihad Terrorist".

This gut wrenching. Fuck those in power responsible for this.
Humans once again going batshit crazy with mass murder riding on a wave of vengeance. It's a disease with no cure.
It is all and well within the limit of a "proportionate" response exercising the "right of selfdefence"! Wondering who decides where the limit goes.
