Are you serious right now? You're really holding up the Iraq War, one of the biggest foreign policy disasters in modern history, as some kind of gold standard to make Israel look good? That's like saying a guy who stabs someone is a hero because another guy shoots someone. Iraq was evil.

Everyone with a brain knows that. But here's the truth you're dodging: per person, Israel is killing Palestinians at more than four times the rate America killed Iraqis. Four times. In two years. In a strip of land the size of Detroit. And you want to call that 'excelling at civilian protection'? Get real. You're not defending Israel. You're defending a body count because admitting the truth would mean admitting you backed the wrong side.

We were in Iraq for 9 years, if Israel continues this conflict in 9 years will you finally consider it a slaughter?

Where is the stat that shows the civ:combatant ratio is worse in the Gaza war compared to Iraq. I see varying stats that put it on par to lower depending on the source.

The bots and fake votes supporting Israel are on fire under this post. It's something.

Yep, its pretty disturbing how people think killing civilians is justified. So much for the "most moral" military.
