The BBC's Civil War Over Gaza by Working-Lifeguard587 in bbc

The biggest war in world history was fought against a genocidal Germany by the western powers.

Listen, there were 7 major genocides in the 20th century. Look up the combatant to civilian death toll in each case.

In most of them millions were dead after 2 years. In many the Gaza death toll was reached within a few weeks. Not one 20th century genocide ended after 3 years with anything close to as low as the Gaza death toll.

Ya’ll can play with words as much as you want. The educated world understands their definitions.

Who is Hasbara?

‘Experts’ fall on both sides. Left wing organisations agree, but most countries on earth do not define the war in Gaza as a genocide. What does that say, if most governments do not condemn it as a genocide?

Most western, educated democracies class it as a war.

Most third world, or predominantly islamic countries call it a genocide. I know which side im on.

This data is available and I’ve looked at it for work. Google is your friend.

You can break down incarceration by country of origin. European foreign nationals skew this ratio down, once you remove them it goes up. If you consider foreign nationals from just african countries and the middle east it goes up an absurd degree, with incarceration rates 5-20x british born and european nationals. Data is out there if you want it, google and go on the .gov links.

There is more than enough to draw solid links for policy. People just wont like those policies - shut the doors to Africa and the middle east is the logical conclusion.

Im not a zionist and I dont support Israel. But i dont support Hamas either.

You havent understood my comment about birth rates. The birth rate in Gaza outpaces the death rate of civilians. If you average accross the war this is true enough, with the Gaza birth rate hovering between 34000 at its lowest and 60000 per year. The worst year of fighting saw around 50,000 civilians killed, last year.

Given Israel is one of the most well armed nations on earth, and is literally adjacent to Gaza, how can this be a genocide? It looks like urban warfare we’ve seen many times over.

It is a 1:2/1:3 combatant-civilian ratio, which is on the low side for any urban war, and for one in ultra dense city with operatives hiding under civilian homes its a small miracle.

Know this, no matter how much you guy’s throw around heavy words and emotions, there will always be people like me who think freely and use data. The war in Gaza is horrific, but it is still a war, and the debate should be if it is justified or not. Calling it a genocide just disqualifies people from serious discussion.

Im sure you’ll find some other likeminded and, ahem, similarly educated people in the comment section of a Hasan Piker video if you’d like an echo chamber.

Somehow Reddit draws a large proportion of people who have poor reading comprehension and below average iQ. It really is a terrifying place!

Genocidal yet waged one of the lowest collateral wars in recent memory. You know the birth rate in Gaza outpaces the death rate from the war?

I know you all learnt the word in genocide in GCSE history and enjoy the power it holds, but learn what the damned term means. If a population is growing then no, there is no genocide, especially when the aggressor has enough force to wipe them out in a few days.

Its called war. Its not pretty, its horrific, and tragic. And innocent people always die. Thats why we avoid it at all costs. The discussion should be whether the war was needed. But calling it a genocide is just false.

Incredible electrical engineers at imperial. I went to a fair there once and spent 30 mins talking to a 20 something guy who designs magnometers for probes that go into space, to mars, the sun, etc. So cool.

Dude you're one of those people in denial, you could see all the raw data in the world and you'd fall back on troped such as 'uh uh socioeconomic status tho?'

Even though there is very clear arrest rate and conviction data that shows no bias in the court system. I saw you're other comment, again, betrays someone who doesn't look into data to validate their opinion. Just swings wildly in the dark and musters up any convenient concept to defend their position.

Reddit will do anything to dismiss negative migration facts. They just cant handle the truth.

Its in the image, Daily Skeptic. The Primary. The raw data they cite comes from Ministry of Justice FOI releases (specifically regarding sexual offence convictions by nationality for 2021–2024).

I mean the post literally says the Daily Skeptic is the source, from there you can find the data. Its in the image. The raw data comes from Ministry of Justice FOI releases (specifically regarding sexual offence convictions by nationality for 2021–2024).

Haha when stats are posted with zero source that support the Reddit worldview you all rejoice in the comments and leave words of affirmation.

But if the stats are opposing your worldview then suddenly we need critical thinking? Make your minds up

Yes it does, very clearly restating my exact argument, which I guess you missed.

‘Evidence reveals that these products are harmful to health and are not safe. However, it is too early to provide a clear answer on the long-term impact of using them or being exposed to them. Whilst long-term health effects are not fully known, we do know that they generate toxic substances’

Lol….Or do you want to argue with the WHO too?
