    That’s 70% of confirmed deaths. So essentially this number is meaningless, as we don’t know the whole picture.

      Fuck man, they went a little overboard with the propaganda at your school and left out all the maths?

          “This number is meaningless”

          That’s what you said.

          Even if it’s just of verified deaths, then you can still double the victim number, and still have 35% of the victims be women and children.

          So is the number truly meaningless, or are you saying “it’s meaningless” just as an attempt to downplay the genocide Israel is committing?

              If it were the same ratio it would be 70%. 35% is if the death count doubled with zero additional women or children killed.

                The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) published the report on Friday, having verified 8,119 of the more than 34,500 people reportedly killed during the first six months of Israel’s war in Gaza…

                That’s less than 25% of all reported deaths. The numbers can fluctuate dramatically, depending on if they didn’t verify dead terrorists for one reason or another.

      Yes so there’s probably thousands more buried under robble or incinerated because of 2000 lb bottle was dropped on their house.
