Says who? Of course the number of deaths is relevant.
Doesn’t seem to be relavent to the world, as Israel is still massacring people and the world stands and watches.
The world is not who this propaganda is meant for, though convincing outsiders of their cause is probably a welcome side-effect
Intent is the difference between collateral damage and massacres. Israel is attacking military targets that Hamas hides among Gazan civilians. Hamas attacks civilians for the sake of murdering and kidnapping civilians. It’s wild how many here seem to be keen on supporting the genocidal underdogs simply because they are underdogs.
Israel has been occupying Palestine, killing innocent civilians and stealing their lands decades before Hamas was even a thing.
That’s certainly the Palestinian perspective. Then, as now, there are consequences to declaring war against one’s neighbor and losing, then remaining belligerent for 70 years while refusing to negotiate for a viable peace. Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005, proving in hindsight that unilateral withdrawal is a bad idea for them in this conflict, given recent events.
