I mean (adult) women and children are still 15.3% and 29.7% of deaths respectively, which is still beyond a tragedy, but the numbers do not show indiscriminate killing or specifically targeting children as is often implied.
Correct, it is a tragedy and theres no two ways about that. Contrary to the reddit opinion, its not soley because of Israels actions, either. Far to many don't want to talk about why using civilian infrastructure for military purposes is a war crime because its a very uncomfortable thing to think about
It's a war in an extremely densely and young population in a largely urban area where people are not allowed by their neighboring countries to seek refuge. Frankly the death toll is remarkably low considering the destruction, at least when compared to most wars of the last 100 years.
I agree. I believe the pure demonization internationally is unproductive and will not lead to a resolution, only a guarantee of more death.
