And if they DON’T stop MURDERING CHILDREN Biden is going to STOP sending them Bombs and start sending them ONLY Fighter Jets and Money!

Dude this is lemmy. Half of us are fucking tankies. Of course I’m being sarcastic
A lot of people came here after the r***** debacle, so Poe’s law applies.
What debacle? Serious question.

It’s autocorrect. I’ll fix it.

I do read. It doesn’t help if there’s a lag or autocorrect doesn’t correct it immediately, or whatever the issue is. something. I never use text to speech, and I’ve complained plenty about it.

I think (hope) they were being sarcastic
I hope so.
Statistically that means more adult were killed compared to the general demographic distribution of Gaza. Around 56% of people in Gaza are younger than 18.
Age structure (2018 estimate) from wiki:
- 0–14 years: 44.1%
- 15–24 years: 21.3%
- 25–54 years: 28.5%
- 55–64 years: 3.5%
- 65 years and over: 2.6%

I would hope that the bar is higher than a statistically representative random sample of the entire population
That’s from 2018, a lot has happened since then. One would expect most families are trying to keep their children and babies safe, so if Israel were making any effort to avoid the children it shouldn’t be hard to do so. Targeting a food distribution center shows they’re not. Also shows cowardice, rather than attack someplace where they shoot back.
What a strange factoid to choose to highlight.
I wonder if this “war” hasn’t proportionately killed more children than any in history.
Modern history, possibly. In terms of casualties it resembles a genocide more than it resembles a war.
Yup, hence the scare quotes.

ok, just as long as it’s demographically proportional there’s no problem here! After all, this means that the “Hamas terrorist” population is also 56% children
Otherwise it would be pretty obvious proof that Isreal doesn’t care about civillian casualties!
(edit: The reason, then, that children only comprise 44% of deaths is because of their higher armor class from their small size. Much harder to hit).
In my dialect, that’s 56% children.
Only 7 of them are children?!
