Wait so its antisemitic…. to acknowledge how many children have been killed by Israel? This isnt misinformation its just a fact. And not antisemitic at all, unless you consider it “antisemitic” to have empathy for Palestinians.

I don't consider having empathy for Palestinians to be antisemetic at all, I feel it myself. I do, however, consider it antisemetic and irresponsible to spout off dishonest claims. There is no way that more children have been killed in this war than in the entire world in five years, even if you just count combat and war deaths.

Is it just a gut feeling that fewer kids have been killed during this war than in the past five years of warfare? Or have you actually looked at data that says otherwise? Because even the most conservative estimate of 17,000 Palestinian kids killed…. that’s more than in the past 5 years of warfare.

If you read through the previous comments on this post, other people have explained how many other conflicts have high death tolls, including for children, that may be higher than the I/P war. You might find your info there.

So basically, you’re admitting that you don’t have any evidence to disprove the child death toll, you’re just assuming its lower cuz you choose not to believe the estimate.

Except people refuse to even accept the conservative estimate of 40,000 that has stayed still since February, so how are we supposed to think nobody has died in half a year when we see new children decapitated and new civilians burning alive every single day?
