Of course you do, US gives many countries billions to several countries but it burns you when they give it to Israel. You're either a white supremacist or a muslim. Maybe just another handle for frankfooter, danmand. gryfin.
Blowing up Islamic terrorists is fine. Especially when the terrorists kill their own civilians.
Your supremacists are the ones blowing up civilians.
If you're killing 70% women and children you are either the shittiest army in the world or you're trying to kill women and children.
Produce better numbers from another urban conflict of similar nature. I’ll wait
Name another conflict between an army and 2 million refugees living in a giant concentration camp or open air prison.
Name another conflict between an foreign occupying force against an occupied people of similar nature.
So you can’t. Just accept then that your (very questionable) numbers may well represent nothing but collateral damage.
edit: nothing but dead freedom fighters plus collateral damage

You can't name another conflict like Israel's genocide on Gaza.
There is no comparison.
No wonder zionism is so hated now.
Because your freedom loving friends are the only ones on the planet stupid enough to be refugees for 70 years.
Dozens of countries lost territory during last century. All of them moved on with their life.
The only other country that's still trying to take land by force is Russia.
But only Israel combines that with racial supremacy and apartheid.
You think Russia is killing 70% women and children?
such a winning combo
Red Cross reports up to 90%. Check and mate, terrorist lover
Data on civilian collateral damage in densely populated urban conflicts is limited and often varies depending on the conflict and reporting agency, but there are general findings from recent urban warfare studies and reports:
1. Civilian Casualty Ratios: In many modern urban conflicts, civilians make up a significant proportion of casualties. For instance, a report by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) indicated that civilians can account for up to 90% of casualties in heavily populated conflict zones. This is especially true in densely populated areas where distinguishing combatants from civilians is challenging.
2. Urban Conflict Studies: A 2017 study by Airwars found that in cities like Raqqa and Mosul during the fight against ISIS, civilian casualties reached high numbers—thousands of civilians were killed, and the majority of the city was damaged or destroyed. In densely populated areas, this destruction often affects civilian infrastructure (homes, hospitals, schools), contributing to high collateral damage rates.
3. Collateral Damage Rates in Airstrikes: Collateral damage varies with the type of warfare. Precision-guided munitions aim to reduce collateral damage but still cause significant casualties in dense urban areas. For example, data from conflicts like those in Gaza and Syria showed that even with advanced targeting, airstrikes frequently result in unintended civilian deaths and injuries.
4. Challenges in Reporting Accurate Data: Reporting on civilian casualties in urban areas is notoriously challenging due to limited access, unreliable data collection, and, at times, intentional misinformation. Independent monitoring groups like Airwars and UN agencies work to provide estimates, but exact numbers are often debated.
5. General Estimate Range: Though the rate of collateral damage varies by conflict, analysts often cite that, in modern urban warfare, civilian casualties may represent 50-90% of all casualties in densely populated areas, particularly when heavy weapons are used.
6. Infrastructure Impact: The destruction of essential civilian infrastructure (water, power, medical facilities) indirectly increases civilian harm by contributing to secondary effects such as disease and lack of medical care.
While there is no universally applicable percentage, these studies and reports suggest that in heavily populated urban warfare scenarios, the impact on civilians tends to be extremely high, both in direct casualties and in indirect harm due to damaged infrastructure.

Kautilya is that you? I'm neither. Just a guy who takes an unbiased view of the evidence. Speaking of which ...
U.S. Aid to Israel in Four Charts
Israel has long been the leading recipient of U.S. foreign aid, including military support. That aid has come under heightened scrutiny amid Israel’s monthslong war to eliminate Hamas.
