It's a small fraction of the death tolls in Syria and Yemen, and, of course, in Afghanistan.


To reach Yemen figures Israel would have to kill >20% of everyone in Gaza.

Bosnia's pre-war population (4.2 million) is far more comparable to Gaza's (2.4 million), that's why I picked it.


The other two were not close to as urban conflicts, calling this apples to apples is not rooted in intellectual honesty.


Of course it's not apples to apples, no two conflicts are ever gonna be exactly the same.

Can you find me a better comparison?


It is the deadliest ongoing conflict in 2024 and 2nd deadliest in 2023.


Those aren't comparable in the slightest.

They involved large numbers of deaths on both sides of the equation which isn't the case here.


That's not what proportionality means.
