Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza for nearly three months has destroyed 70 percent of the homes in the besieged Palestinian enclave, according to the Government Media Office.
No further details were provided but an earlier report said more than 200 heritage and archaeological sites were destroyed in the Israeli bombardment considered the most destructive in modern history.
About 300,000 out of 439,000 homes have been destroyed in Israeli attacks, a Wall Street Journal report said. Analysing satellite imagery, the report added that the 29,000 bombs dropped on the strip have targeted residential areas, Byzantine churches, hospitals and shopping malls and all civilian infrastructure has been damaged to an extent that they cannot be repaired.
“The word ‘Gaza’ is going to go down in history along with Dresden [Germany] and other famous cities that have been bombed,” Robert Pape, a political scientist at the University of Chicago who has written about the history of aerial bombing, told WSJ.
Perhaps it’s not quite as many as western media claims, but it’s definitely more than 0. I mean, governments kill more than 0 people even if they actively try not to.
Even the western media doesn’t claim more than 0.
Great standard of evidence there.
Where’s your evidence?
My evidence? I’m not the one claiming a massive, secret genocide is happening.
Then why condemn someone else’s without supplying your own? A downvote should do instead.
Do you understand how burden of proof works? If I say you’re murdering women and burying the bodies, it’s not up to you to prove you aren’t.
Well ok. If we’ll look instead of an example where the government is actively trying to kill people, https://www.shahit.biz/eng/ lists about 77k victims in the Uyghur Genocide.
Way to not even read your own sources. None of those people are being killed.
Yeah, fair enough. I’ll keep my comment up as a permanent record of my stupidity.
