| > halflife > 50% of all the Jews worldwide were wiped out by their own countrymen during the holocaust. Less than 5% of Gaza was killed. Russia lost more than 10% of its population in WW2, would that be considered holocaust? If you wanna throw numbers at me you need to first clarify what percentage of innocent killing you find acceptable. |

| ▲ | halflife 5 days ago | parent [-] | | Well, what is your standard for holocaust? | | |
| ▲ | torium 5 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I asked first. You didn't answer so I don't feel the need to answer either. Also, your disingenuity (implying without stating that 5% is small) already convinced me that you're not in good faith, so this wouldn't be productive anyway. | | |
| ▲ | halflife 5 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Well, if we’re being pedantic, you stated that the war is the Palestinian holocaust, I asked if other conflicts with much higher casualty count would be also considered. But if we want to continue this thread it appears that most wars in urban areas have a ratio of 30-90% civilian casualties https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualty_ratio | | |
| ▲ | mrs6969 5 days ago | parent | next [-] | | The problem is that this is not a war. Israel does not fight with a an enemy, it is a slaughter to a group of people where they also control their water, food and electricity. Can you also say jews in germany were at war during WW2? | | |
| ▲ | halflife 5 days ago | parent [-] | | So whose holding the Israeli hostages? | | |
| ▲ | mrs6969 5 days ago | parent [-] | | and who is keeping palestinian hostages? invading lands? killing land/home owners? |

| ▲ | torium 5 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Sounds like you wanted me to say "5% is a big number" and then you would say "it's not compared to these other things". Sorry to burst your talking point. Yeah, it's more complicated than that, I'm glad you agree. |

| ▲ | nahuel0x 5 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | There is no formal definition of "Holocaust". In contrast, the "Genocide" category is an international legal figure and what Israel is doing in Gaza clearly falls under it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_Convention |
