    Not most, technically - wiki says 0-14 make 44% of population. But this article breaks down the 70% further by saying 44% killed were 14 or under, so it’s pretty much bang on for indicating that they’re killing Palestinians at random.

      And if 44% are children, that leaves 56% as adults. Cut that roughly in half to 28% for a 50/50 male/female split you get 72% (28 and 44) of the population is “women and children”. If that’s accurate, the title would be better stated as “Isreal kills indiscriminately”.

          Its not random when you tell a population to go to a place for safety and then you bomb them when they are concentrated in that place.

        Yah sure. I’m sure when they shoot a civilian it’s because hamas hiding under their dress. People need to stop believing in movies just because hamas is bad doesn’t make Israel the good guy. There doesn’t seem to be a good guy in this fight. Also look at how Israel has treated them over the years is it really hard to see why organizations like hamas have sprung up?

          I agree that both sides in this are shitbags. But don’t excuse Hamas’s war crimes.
