Here's the thing - Hamas isn't actively killing Israeli civilians anymore. You can argue that if we don't fully wipe Hamas they will in the future, but right now, almost exclusively Gaza civilians are being killed. That ratio isn't 45:1 today, it's closer to 4500:1.

I imagine most are dead or hiding, so yeah. I'm not really sure who they think they're killing if not civilians.
I mean, technically correct. Just one side has SIGNIFICANTLY MORE casualties
The civilian:soldier death ratio is unacceptable for both sides.
But Biden is giving weapons to one side.
"Very good people on both sides."
What an asshole
Even fucking now. Jfc, thank goodness his age caught up to him. And i hope Harris has some sense
Shes gonna be more hawkish than Biden has been
Stop aiding Israel
How does Bernie, a Jewish man, see what Israel is doing but our dumbass president can't? Oh yeah, money.
$11m in AIPAC money buys a lot of blinders.
Technically both: gottem
Is it really surprising that a government that started a war while spending zero dollars on air superiority, zero dollars on artillery, zero dollars on defensive fortifications, zero dollars on civilian bomb shelters, zero dollars on radar and enemy detection and zero dollars on a military college for its officers is losing the war it started with a 45:1 casualty ratio?
If Israel were truly trying to maximize harm in Gaza it could easily be 4500:1.
