Note that casualty doesn't mean death, it includes injured.

[–] LeoDalPozzo@infosec.pub 23 points 5 days ago

Technically a "casualty" should be a soldier that is not able to go back to combat, so shouldn't include light injures. It's still an impressive number if we consider there are no boots on the ground.

It's definitely a thing in the Palestine conflict, as well as Ukraine-Russia, no doubt others. But Iran? Do you have a source?

i don’t understand. the first bombs america lobbed ended up in a children’s hospital.

Tagging you as MAGA, laughing at your inability to read death counts.

I'm reading

Civilian casualties numbered 1,701 (including at least 254 children), while 714 were unclassified as of 7 April.[5][84][4][10]

From Wikipedia, that's not the sort of Israeli military ratio that would warrant a callout like this. Let's not discredit ourselves by calling the US out for things they didn't do when valid criticism abound...

Saying this from an anarchist perspective (the communist kind)

EDIT : I've checked the Gaza article and children deaths are 20-30% of the deaths from Israeli hands

You’re defending the US killing. Yes, yes you are. Shame on you. Go away.

[–] FurryMemesAccount@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No, I just want to be credible when I criticize the US for having concentration camps, state-influenced media, lgbt-phobic policies, general surveillance, election tampering, capitalism, commodified healthcare, housing, water and food, warmongering, imperialism, colonialism and probably a fuckton more things I can't be bothered to list.

But I'm a US sbire, sure.

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 2 points 5 days ago

Yup you love all of that. Not for you, maybe, but for them.

imperialists can kill a couple kids, as a treat.
