30,000 Palestinians killed.

— World leaders: “Israel has a right to defend itself.”

7 international aid workers killed.

— World leaders: “ISRAEL HAS GONE TOO FAR!”

If your moral values change depending on the nationality of the victims, you do not have any moral values.

All you have is racism.

@randahl The situation in #Gaza is tragic, but after #Hamas (who was elected to power) attacked #Israel 🇮🇱 on October 7th, 2023, they committed the whole area to the blowback of war.

Hamas is (to put it bluntly) a genocidal organization that needs to be removed from power.

They are comparable to the #KKK & #IslamicState in brutality.

Until the 200+ hostages are released (including 6 Americans), the war will continue & #BenjaminNetanyahu will disappointedly remain in power.

@darnell @randahl it's not really fair to say Hamas was elected and implying the people there chose this since the last election was in 2006. I agree about Hamas being a terrorist organization, and agree they should release the hostages, but a lot of people getting killed and starved weren't even alive in 2006 and have had no say in what hamas is doing. Israel is out of control and needs to be stopped from committing even more war crimes.

@Jennifer @randahl That is the sad reality of the situation. As far as 30,000 death toll goes, I am skeptical about that stat for two reasons:

👉🏾 It is coming from Hamas’s health ministry who does not distinguish between combatants & non-combatants
👉🏾 We will not know the real death toll due to it being urban warfare, until most of the fighting subsides (the figure could be much higher)

I wish the civilians were temporarily evacuated beforehand, but I digress.

How does Gaza’s Ministry of Health calculate the death toll?

As the Israel-Hamas war rages, international and local monitoring groups in Gaza have been unable to keep up. The only source reporting how many people have been killed in Hamas-ruled Gaza is the Ministry of Health. Over past wars, the ministry has largely maintained a track record of accuracy. Its death toll counts usually stand up to U.N. scrutiny, investigations and Israel's own tallies. But an explosion at al-Ahli Hospital in mid-October has called the health ministry's credibility into question. Confusion over that toll has raised doubts over whether ministry numbers can be trusted.
