Israel Has Tripled The Number of Children It’s Killing Via Gunfire in West Bank

That is a horrifying number.
Imagine going to an average school in the US, looking into the first classroom and every kid in there is dead.
Then you keep walking down the hall, the next 5 classrooms you check are the same, every kid dead except the 6th one has a couple still alive.
That's how you can help contextualise this cold hard number, based on an average class size of around 20.
- based on an average class size of around 20.
  Legitimately surprised that number is accurate...
  But I googled it. And it is the average in America.
  
  And where you live?
- Using average class size of 20, classrooms no. 7 through no. 50,000, in which all 20 kids are alive and well.
  
  Yes, and?
There is some very dark joke about KPI in there, but the simple fact that there is need for this statistic is too horrifying in itself to make it. I bet the IDF that will register it and say only raised by 10 percent. Which even if true mean they still have statistic about killing children's.
Who the fuck goes: hey Bob, we seem to be killing children's. Gotta do something, let'sb keep track of how many.
The most moral army in the world only kills legitimate targets. These children are Hamas.
- The thing with guns is that it is discriminate.
But why would Biden do this?!?!1?

- I don’t think Hamas is counting dead children in the West Bank.
  
  You're right, they're just making up figures.
- Discrediting death tolls is a type of genocide denial, there are certainly much more dead than has not been accounted for yet, due to the ongoing genocide
  By June 19, 2024, 37,396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip since the attack by Hamas and the Israeli invasion in October, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, as reported by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. The Ministry's figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.
  Counting the dead in Gaza: difficult but essential
  
  Sure, I bet the number is accurate. Putting the blame solely on the IDF is straight up propaganda.
  Remember when Hamas shot that hospital with a rocket and blamed the IDF? They've proven themselves willing to lie.
