Israel Palestine
As far as I can tell those death figures are pretty much accepted by both sides. It’s something like 0.65% of the entire population, which is obviously horrifying.
The key thing to remember though is that Hamas inflicted this on the Palestinian people when they deliberately targeted and massacred women and children. Normal Palestinians never wanted this and they need to be liberated from Hamas, which sadly means violence since you famously can’t negotiate with these people.
Getting as bad as China, I’m sure Elon will have something to say.

By Israel’s own estimates, 94% of the deaths have been civilian casualties.
Worth it!
Seriously long thread worth reading.
Pro Zionist march in London getting good coverage from the Beeb I see.
Are there any stories about truly heinous Hamas Palestinians that have been freed during this hostage swap? Because right now I’m only seeing stories of Palestinians who were imprisoned as children and teens for years because they threw rocks at tanks.

Taking the time to bomb the Damascus airpot during the cease fire is really on point.
Are you being Syria’s?

Lol, you can’t have been looking very hard.
For instance, the exemplary individual who Gigi Hadid chose to post her happiness on Instagram at their release was Ahmed Mansara:
"In the since-removed post, Hadid shared a photo of Ahmed, who was imprisoned for going on a stabbing rampage in Jerusalem in 2015, where he proudly claimed, ‘I came here with my cousin to stab Jews.’
Disturbing footage released by police at the time, shows the then-13-year-old knife-wielding Ahmed and his cousin, Hassan Manasra, 15, chasing after Israelis on the street as the innocent civilians run away.
They critically stabbed a 13-year-old boy on a bicycle, who was leaving a candy shop"
“Ahmad was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to nine and a half years in prison. While in prison, he attempted to harm himself and others multiple times”.

Of others who were arrested as teenagers, lots of them were c. 17 year-olds who amongst other things committed arson and/or were throwing molotov cocktails, and were serving sentences of typically about 2 years:
