Not surprising, Egypt cannot handle 2 million refugees and once the Palestinians leave, there’s no way Israel is letting them back.

Have you ever looked at the tool you sent?
Please, do put in Niger and find out (FWIW, your tool is very low granularity and I know there are visualizers that show it at a more fine scale).
I’d recommend you take a look at the demographic pyramids of countries in Africa. Mortality is steepest in the 14-34 range because that’s when most people die.
You do realize that poorer regions have much higher fertility because of much higher child mortality rates and much lower average lifespans, right? Fertility is inversely proportional with wealth and access to healthcare.
This isn’t unique to Gaza. It’s true in Africa, India, and pre-communist China.
Considering a good chunk of US media is just ingesting Reuters and adding a spin to it, I’m not surprised.
Except the EU backtracked. It’s like everyone on here is salivating at the thought of more dead Palestinians, as if they haven’t suffered enough under apartheid.
It’s clearly working out for the IOF: No Justification for Israel to Shoot Protesters with Live Ammunition
Do people not know how to use the API? $20/month is obscene.
I can’t think of a single successful revolution that didn’t end up with significant civilian casualties. Revolutions only arise because of extreme discontent among a population about their socioeconomic position.
Remember the Reign of Terror in France? Washington’s campaign against the Iroquois in America? Revolution is bloody and revolution leads to civilian casualties, but at its core it’s caused by systematic oppression by the government and inaction on behalf of the population.
By the way, Gazans have tried peaceful protest. It got thousands of people shot.
Netanyahu is entering the “find out” part of his plan of “fuck around and find out.” Maybe having a music festival minutes away from a genocide wasn’t the best idea?
Recent reporting from AP indicates that the Israeli blockade has meant that the primary source of explosives used in Hamas missiles are those extracted from unexploded Israeli munitions fired on Gaza.
Iran is mostly only capable of supporting Hamas through intelligence and through designs/blueprints (things that don’t really require transport).
China hasn’t even supported Russia with weapon supplies. This is fear mongering a what-if that contradicts Chinese foreign policy in the first place. China’s foreign policy is one of fierce neutrality for anyone not encroaching on their own sovereignty, often to a fault.
China considers both Israel and Palestine to be strategically important allies in the region, so there’s no way they’re going to pick a side in this conflict unless that side is in support of one of China’s more significant allies (Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc.)
You’re downplaying Israel’s resources lol
Israel’s occupation of Palestine makes the Xinjiang situation look downright utopian. Education? Jobs? Infrastructure?
Hamas doesn’t get it’s support because people woke up and decided to be radical Islamists lol
It takes years of oppression, inequality, and discrimination to radicalize most people.
An eye for an eye is a commandment in the Book of Exodus. What do you propose Gazans should do instead?
This is the Hannibal Directive in action. The Zionist regime does not and has not ever cared about civilian casualties.
Calling this a religious war completely misses the socioeconomic context. Palestine is extremely poor, but they’ve also been systematically oppressed, had their homes stolen from them, had their rights ripped away, and are treated as basically subhuman.
Religion is the power that’s organizing revolutionaries, but it’s not the power that’s creating revolutionaries.
Revolutionary groups are almost always operating from a severe disadvantage. They lack the resources of the regime that oppresses them.
You should ask yourself why revolutionaries feel that extremism is the solution. Is it maybe because peaceful protest leads to Zionist forces opening fire on unarmed civilians? Maybe it’s because losses in this drawn out conflict have disproportionately affected Palestinians?
Ah yes, because peaceful protest worked so well: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2019/02/no-justification-israel-shoot-protesters-live-ammunition
IDF reliability in reporting is at an all-time low.
