The civilian death ratio of Palestinians to Israelis is, conservatively, 45 to 1 — and this gulf grows larger each day.

      Holy shit it’s almost like Israel could’ve just:

      • Listened to intelligence reports of an impending attack.

      • Actually fucking manned their border with the troops they committed to an offensive so terrorists couldn’t just waltz in on motorcycles and paragliders lmao.

      • And avoided committing the equivalent of around 40 x October 7ths against innocent civilians!

      Thanks for proving the point that this offensive was unnecessary.

          Nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than a spammer spewing lies and contextual half-truths following me around to other threads after I whooped their ass in in another thread.

            In that case, I’ll keep following you around and posting this since it makes you smile so much.

            It’s pretty hard to sell that “half truths” thing when all I did was share an uncut video of Kamala saying and cheering for the very things you’re pretending to be against while rabidly defending her to people that you accuse of being trolls.

              Boy, you’re really running the gamut on fallacies — now committing a straw-man fallacy of my own position! How desperate :(

              I’ll remind you of what I wrote since you keep deflecting:

              And when you muster up the courage, do let me know the utopian nation from where you reside.

              I’m betting money it’s China. Are you even allowed to say Tiananmen Square Protest and Massacre? Are you even allowed to visit this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre — copy and paste the 4th paragraph to confirm!

              The amount of deflections is laughable and a concession that I won. Thank you :)

                I agree with what you say in general about Israel but here is a big downvote for being so fucking rude.

                  You’re missing context with this user who was stalking me across several communities. As a result they were banned and countless of their comments removed by mods.

                  So excuse me for dishing back what was originally served.

      To be martyred in Arabic means to bear witness to being killed unlawfully, even people who die by mistake can be thought of as martyrs. To all the parents and children who lost each other, their loved ones being a “martyr” offers condolences in shitty times if war because it means instant entry to heaven in Islam. Culturally the term is applied even to non Muslims, especially when butchered needlessly by Israel. It’s not like a death cult, it just means “killed unjustly” and literally translated to “Witness”. It’s a bit of a mistranslation…
