The jovial term that is used in the english lingo is 'friendly fire'
Kind of like describing a young car thief as a 'joy rider'

Yes. Unfortunately not uncommon.
In terms of percentage of population lost Gaza has had three times as many casualties as the UK did in WW2. Around the same as China, approaching Japan but but nowhere near Poland. But it has only been 2 months far and disease and starvation are only just kicking in.
And roughly twice as many dead as the Dresden firebombing raid proportionately.
Edit: I slipped a digit somewhere. Equal to the UK and half that of Dresden so far.

A quick google tells me half a million British died during WW2 and 25000 were killed in the fire bombing of Dresden, respective populations were 47 million and 600,000
Population of Gaza 2.2 million.
You might want to revisit some of your calculations. An update on how many Gazans have starved to death would also be useful.

You're right, I have made some maths errors. Equal to the UKs losses.
It takes around 3 weeks to starve to death. People will have had some supplies so the clock didn't start on Oct 8th. At least one aid program only ran out on December 5th.
It takes far less time to die from disease and bad water and that's what will really kill people in Gaza.

That entirely depends how fat you are.
It makes no difference on your body mass index when you're drinking stagnant polluted water, or no water at all.
And starvation as a method of warfare is prohibited. it makes no difference whether your captives die or not. It's a crime.
Your argument is like saying speeding is only a crime if you kill someone who is overweight.
It's a bonkers argument.
Before the war Gazans weren't exactly fat.
Fact Sheet on Food and Nutrition in Palestine
The number of Palestinians suffering from food insecurity is divided between the refugee (70%) and non-refugee (30%) communities. The situation is of particular concern in the Gaza Strip, with 64.3% of the population classified as moderately or severely food insecure.
You said violence can never be justified.If you ask the same question time and time again, you might get lucky one day, and get the answer you so desperatel;y want.
I don't condone idiots making fools of themselves, but I understand why they feel the need to do it.
Was that making a fool of yourself if you think it can if your pushed, or it can never be justified?
Sorry, I don't understand gantish.
I can see why you said that, I think I have my answer, no need to go any further.Sorry, I don't understand gantish.
If you see why I said that, perhaps you could avoid using gantish in future.
And as you understand why, do you condone it?
Do carry on down your rabbit hole. it's amusing to see you trying to stop digging.
If you keep avoiding the question then you leave me no other option than to draw my own conclusions.
I read 65% of people in Gaza had no access to clean drinking water before the IDF invasion. I don't suppose that situation has improved.Before the war Gazans weren't exactly fat.
