Israeli forces have shot and killed 115 children in the West Bank in the past 10 months.
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.
Not the person you replied to but for interest, It was 25 hard capped in grade school only because of the program I went through back years ago, though looking now 25-30 is petty consistent in that region as of last year. Highschool was larger, maybe 30, less once going into upper year courses, literally 8 of us took comp sci and that was combined gr11 and 12
Ontario, Canada for reference. 20 seemed low to me too tbh, but not out of the realm of possibility.
Using average class size of 20, classrooms no. 7 through no. 50,000, in which all 20 kids are alive and well.
It's intentionally misleading to only talk about the first six when there are forty-nine thousand, nine-hundred and ninty four more rooms each with twenty alive kids, when you're making allegations of genocidal and tent and war crimes.
You really don't see that?
No I don't see it. I didn't realise there was an acceptable number of children per capita to shoot and kill.
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.

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.
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.
You mean the Al Ahli Hospital? The one instance where it is still inconclusive? Yet you are convinced it's Hamas, I wonder why. The hospital where we know for a fact was hit by Israeli rocket fire days prior. All the while, Israel has never stopped bombing hospitals, schools, mosques, historical sites, Refugee camps, tens of thousands of children, hundreds of journalists, and international aid workers
The IDF lies routinely, yet your so caught up in Israeli propaganda you still justify all that with the 'human shields' bullshit. Yet the only side that has extensive evidence of using actual human shields, is the IDF using Palestinian civilians.
This was not the first airstrike on the hospital in question. The New York Times confirmed that the same hospital had been hit by rocket fire on Oct. 14, 2023, before the more recent attack, in which four people had been injured.
More than half of Gaza’s homes destroyed or damaged, 80 percent of commercial facilities, 85 percent of school building, 16 out of 36 hospitals are partially functioning, 65 percent of road networks, 65 percent of cropland damaged
Following past Israeli military operations in Gaza in 2009 and 2014, Amnesty International repeatedly investigated “human shields” accusations and, while it did accuse Hamas of other violations of international humanitarian law, it found no evidence to back up the specific accusation of “direct[ing] the movements of civilians to shield military objectives from attacks.”
there is extensive evidence of the IDF quite literally engaging in human shielding — forcing Palestinian civilians to approach houses for them because they’ll be less likely to be shot at than Israeli soldiers, for example. Israel’s High Court banned the practice in 2005, but Israeli human rights group B’Tselem reports that “soldiers continue to occasionally use Palestinians as human shields even after the court ruling, especially during military operations.”
Still living in denial that your friends in Hamas are always using entire cities as human shields, and (along with your friends in UNRWA) encouraging a disgusting culture of "martyrdom" in which the only thing better than everything else is dying to Israeli munitions so the terrorists they elected can score sympathy points.
And still spamming links to Qatari state media and fundraising solicitation ads.
How original.
Dude, not only is that times of Israel article propping up the conspiracy theory that UNRWA employees worked with Hamas to do Oct 7th, which is still completely unsubstantiated, IMPACT-se uses straight up IDF propaganda. That's such a gross article, trying to justify this genocide where over 15 thousand children and nearly every school has been eradicated with bombs. GEI is credible when it comes to textbook analysis and it's findings are much different. Palestinian children are radicalized when they experience the violence of IDF forces on a daily basis, no textbook needed.
You're so gullible you won't even read reports by Human Rights Organizations, you don't have any credibility
