Between 1942 and 1945, the allies attacked 51 major German cities and towns, destroying about 40-50% of their urban areas, said Robert Pape, a U.S. military historian. Pape said this amounted to 10% of buildings across Germany, compared to over 33% across Gaza, a densely populated territory of just 140 square miles (360 square kilometers).

By objective measures, Gaza - in relative terms - is three times worse than the Dresden bombings.
Also the allies bombing of germany took three years.
US is delivering the bombs (all indicators from what we see of fragments seem to confirm it, of course official confirmation is unavailable).
US is the sole obsticle to a cease fire, in the UN security council, watering down the UN resolution to something that promises (much) more aid, but then no conditions (cease fire) to deliver it. Because the US negotiated the cease fire out of the declaration.
Der Standard is still not correcting themselves, that Blinken wasnt in the region to “facilitate peace”, because, why should austrian media tell the austrian public anything resembling the truth…
I mean…
Merry Christmas, and a Wertewesten new year!
We are now standing at roughly 277 civilians killed in Gaza every day (src: click (WP)) - do you remember the maternity hospital in Mariupol where two people and an unborn died? Which apparently should rectify the delivery of 300 tanks to retake Mariupol with? (That was the public political debate following the media reports.) Which for the Austrian “Profil” was ample enough reason to never talk to the russian side in this war ever again. Because - as Armin Wolf put it - the accusation that the attack was staged was so problematic and off-putting, you just couldnt interview russian ambassadors anymore, from then on out. [In the greyzone video linked below, that attack is still considered “highly questionable”, but Armin Wolf knows best. What a solid guy.]
Any day now, austrian media will refuse to interview US ambassadors. Any day now. I’m sure of it. It must be the case… Logic dictates it. Surely. Any day now.
Diese Gesellschaft ist das absolut verlogenst, verschlagenst, abartigst und hinterhältigst Allerletzte.
edit: Es gibt aber natürlich auch wieder gute Nachrichten:
The evidence presented by the Israeli government falls short of showing that Hamas had been using the al-Shifa Hospital as a command and control center, a Post analysis shows. https://t.co/RryhcZeDCo

Keine Angst der Standard hat sich natürlich auch hier nicht korrigiert. Aber da ist er ja in Österreich in guter Gesellschaft aller weiteren Qualitätsmedien.
Frohes Fest!
edit2: Oh, and btw for people running fantasy football leagues, thats twice the number of civilians killed in Gaza already than over the entirety of the russian war in Ukraine.
And 21 times the amount of children killed.
Also for your fantasy football league team, it took that factor of 21 for Berny Sanders to finally rethink his previously stated public position, and now find something wrong with it.
20 wasnt enough of course, but a factor of 21 did the trick.
