The unrelenting anti-Israel screeds - omitting Hamas rejection of a ceasefire, ceaselessly blaming Israel - (in one day, the NYT had seven articles and one letter in on this one subject; a sample of news coverage), the constant repeating “60,000 Palestinians killed” during the conflict and calling it ‘genocide’ without noting that over half that number were terrorists, fighters, Hamas or PIJ; without noting how many Hamas is responsible for killing; without noting natural deaths is inflaming the public and the result is attacks upon Jews worldwide. The avalanche of anti-Israel propaganda is starting to overwhelm even the most committed of Israel's supporters.

In Yemen, at least 150,00 have been killed in conflict and over 227,000 have died due to famine and lack of healthcare. Close to 20,000 civilians, including 2300 children, have been killed by coalition airstrikes. https://www.globalr2p.org/countries/yemen/

In the US war in Afghanistan there were over 100,000 casualties.

In the US war in Iraq the Iraq Body Count (IBC) project has documented about 200,000 violent civilian deaths. 

I’m not even sure why we were in either of these wars, but I know Israel is at war because of the unprovoked invasion by Palestinian terrorists on 10/7/23 who are still holding, starving, and torturing hostages captured at a music festival.

The IDF has achieved the lowest ratio of civilian deaths to combatant deaths (1:5:1) ever seen for fighting in a densely populated area like Gaza, a feat that is most remarkable because Hamas deliberately embedded its extensive network of terror tunnels amid the Gaza populace to essentially guarantee that any Israeli response to Hamas attacks on Israelis would result in Gazan deaths despite the IDF's many efforts to avoid harming civilians. (John Spencer, Urban War Institute) Further, John Spencer reminds us that Israel’s supply of humanitarian aid to an enemy population has no precedent in the history of warfare.
