Fun (/s) fact! Israel has killed a higher percentage of Gaza’s civilian population after some four months than the percentage of the Japanese civilian population killed by the US in all of WW fucking 2, including the mass terror bombing campaigns and the atomic bombings (1.2% of the civilian population vs. .9% of the civilian population)
Israel has killed a higher percentage of Gaza’s civilian population after some four months than the percentage of the Japanese civilian population killed by the US in all of WW fucking 2, including the mass terror bombing campaigns and the atomic bombings (1.2% of the civilian population vs. .9% of the civilian population)
Where is the 1.2% figure from? This article says 1% of Gazans, (as reported by Hamas,) which includes both civilians and Hamas, (who are not civilians.)
Sources from the article also say that ~2/3 of those casualties are civilians, (which is incredible given that the average for urban combat with explosives is 90% civilian deaths.) That would put Gazan civilian deaths per capita at ~1/3 less than that of WWII Japan, assuming your figure of 0.9% is correct.
