      Well more than 1… but also form and motive are important here.

      The “1” was an innocent woman who was raped, tortured, and murdered slowly and publicly to spread terror because she was at a music festival.

      The “3000” are civilian casualties of war because said terrorists are hiding behind them as a combat strategy.

      Both are horrible, but you are making a false equivalency.

    We have all seen the video of her broken body being paraded through Gaza and the people spitting on her. Hamas did that and they brought death and destruction to Gaza.

      Same children whose shoulders Hamas used to prop up their guns while firing as Israeli soldiers?

          Has anyone on Lemmy ever read about Hamas before a month ago? Hiding bombs and murderers behind children is what the world knows of them. It’s fact. Cute watching you all catching up on the conflict in 15 minutes.

        True, but the 3000 Palestinian children don’t get a whole series of articles for each individual one. They’re just a number, and apparently a meaningless one, given the ferocity of attacks by the Israeli government that has no limit when it comes to “retaliation”.

          Because the number three thousand is probably made up by Hamas. Hamas also doesn’t have a register of the young people they draw into their cause.

          They also don’t first get the names of all the people living in an apartment complex before they start stockpiling guns there and start shooting rockets from there.

          Because they don’t care for their names. They care for the fact that they can control international support by having a high number of civilian deaths.
