Gaza kill rate comparable to Bosnia, Syria, and Yemen

mardi 28 novembre 2023 à 04:49

Comparing the rate of killing of civilians in Gaza with the rate in Bosnia, Syria and Yemen shows that the rate of killing in Gaza, when measured as fraction of population killed per unit time, is on the order of 50 times faster in Gaza.

Being opposed to sexism, I see no significance in whether a person killed was male or female. People have the right to life regardless of sex, and regardless of gender.

I suspect that figures about the number of "children" killed really count the number of minors killed -- which would be much larger, since many minors are adolescents, not children. But if these figures really do count only children, that would place tighter limits on what fraction of those killed could be HAMAS fighters. Some minors will be combatants, but hardly ever will a child be a combatant.
