blake shaw 🇵🇸"You look at the #polls, and 60% of Israelis say Israel is not deploying enough force. They think they're not using enough force against Gaza.
If you look at every metric out there, every study, the intensity of bombing, payloads of bombs, imprecision of bombs, destruction of civilian infrastructure, ratio of civilian to combatants killed, ratio of children to total population killed, the ratio of #children to total number of bombs used, the ratio of bombs used to total number of #children killed, ratio of #women to children to total population killed...
If you look at every metric — there have been so many studies done — if you look at every metric, Israel is in a class completely of its own.
You know, it doesn't even compare — it doesn't compare... *it doesn't even compare remotely* to the allied carpet bombing of #German cities during #WWII, to the allied bombing of #Dresden — it doesn't even compare to the bombing of Dresden!
And with all that, for 60% of the population to say... you haven't killed enough? To say you haven't destroyed enough??? You lose me, my moral imagination stops there. I'm wont go any further.
I cant see things from the concentration camp's side. I told Dr. #CornelWest, you're not gonna get me to call them brother and sister. Its not gonna happen. I have limits to my moral imagination, and just as calling a concentration camp guard brother or sister is a sacrilege on the dead, I am not going to say I can understand where the #Israelis are coming from. I won't go there. No.
Killing 8000 children in two months? That is more children killed in two months than every single combat zone between 2020, 2021, and 2022 combined. Combined. More children killed.
Who are they killing? They're killing people in a concentration camp. They're killing people in a concentration camp. They can't go anywhere. They can't flee. They're killing people in a concentration camp."
