You know, sometimes we tend to blow a 1% change in civilian matters or large populations out of proportion. But let’s be real, that kind of small shift is like a tiny drop in a huge ocean. It doesn’t really shake things up much because there are usually more important factors or trends in the situation that make a way bigger impact.
We might make a big deal out of it, but honestly, it rarely has a significant influence on this war.
Not worth using your keyboard to explain this to people like them. They aren’t here to understand or empathize, they’re here to troll, minimize and make jokes.

I’m here to respectfully discuss my point of view. It’s not my fault if you don’t like it, you don’t have to
I’ll bite, just in case you’re not a troll here to poison discourse.
Flipping the script, Israel has a population of a little over 7.1 million Jewish people, per Israeli census data.
Taking the semi-firm death tally from Oct7, at under 1,200, statistically speaking, those 1,139 deaths are a ‘rounding error’ (0.00016028708134%) of the Jewish population in Israel, let alone Jews all over the world.
But here’s the important part that you missed/willingly ignored - each one of those killed on Oct7 are individual tragedies, just as each of the tens of thousands of civilians deaths afterwards in Gaza are. And nearly all of this death and misery is preventable.
Words have trouble expressing how incorrect this is. An excess death rate of 1% of the total population is fucking massive and incredibly disruptive, even if it was just “1% of the population chose to voluntarily go to the local suicide booth after extensive therapy and saying goodbye to their families” rather than “1% of the population has been murdered under the rubble of their own homes by an occupying power”

It shocks me how little empathy you have.
No its like a drop in a container that can hold a hundred drops.
But instead of drops its friends and families slaughtered
That is NOT a small shift. Let’s do some basic math.
In a population of 1 million, 1% is 10,000.
The 2022 population estimate by the US gov is 3 million on the west bank and 2 million on Gaza strip.
So even if we only talk about the Gaza strip, that’s 20,000 Gazans dead.
That’s equivalent to 6.6 9/11 tragedies in the space of 4 months. 9/11 had a fatality rate of 3000-odd.
Add in the west bank and that’s 50,000 dead. In four. Fucking. Months. That is the population of a decent sized city, just gone.

You’re not respectful and are “discussing” in bad faith. I won’t be debating with you further, there is a minimum of decorum required.

Using the Imperial system is like trying to solve a riddle wrapped in a mystery surrounded by inches and gallons but this is just gold
