@IrelandTorin One difference is that your Gaza chart stops at 2020. An oversight, I'm sure.
If you want to show that the IDF hasn't killed all that many Gazans, really, update your graph to show a <2% drop over 12 months: 42,000 people, 60% of them women, children, and elderly.
If you want to argue that <2% isn't much, as genocides go, spare me. Some comparisons are not just odious but obscene.
You might instead show how careful the IDF is to avoid civilian casualties. That'll take more work.
@ImagineThat An oft-repeated claim is that "there's been an ongoing genocide in Gaza for decades / since the formation of Israel". The graphic addresses that claim.
I'll point this out:
In response to 9/11, the US invaded Iraq & started the War in Afghanistan - far more civ casualties. Yet nobody called that genocide, because it wasn't: it was simply war, just like this is.
Oct. 7 killed, percentage-wise, more of the Israeli population than 9/11 did Americans.
They're responding accordingly.
