In Gaza, Israel Is Doing What Any Country Would Do
(Israel Hayom) Matthew Schultz - An August 14 report in Ha'aretz is titled: "Gaza War Is One of the Bloodiest in the 21st Century." As the death toll in Gaza reached 40,000, the author himself provides numbers that disprove his own claim. In Syria, 405,000 dead. In Iraq, 210,000 dead. In Yugoslavia, 100,000 dead. In Ukraine, 172,000 dead. And Israel is already winding down its operations in Gaza. In January, the Washington Post called the displacement of Gazans "the largest displacement in the region since 1948." But it's not. Not even close. 1.9 million people live in Gaza. 13 million were displaced by the Syrian civil war. 4 million in Yemen. 9 million in Iraq. And why say "since 1948"? To make it seem like the existence of Israel is the problem. The world is insisting that Israel is bloodthirsty - that it is doing something other than what any country would do after suffering the kind of invasion that Israel suffered on Oct. 7. This isn't true and it's not "what the numbers show."
