    What does the ratio of civilians killed have to do with it when Israel has killed over ten to twenty thousand more since that day? It’s like saying it would be okay to carpet bomb Afghanistan immediately after 9/11 so long as you hit a couple militants while massacring thousands. Whatever point you’re making, Israel is an illegitimate terrorist state so it really is irrelevant, they must be stopped and the state dismantled.

      Again, read the thread. The other commenter pointed out that the ratio of civilian casualties proves that the Israelis are trying to genocide the Gazans. I pointed out that the ratio is about the same on both sides, thereby refuting the commenter’s assertion.

        Fair enough, my apologies, that in itself does not prove a genocidal intent. This whole semantic discussion does seem a little useless to me though when there are thousands of people being massacred currently. It only serves to legitimize the actions of Israel.
