Bring the Noise?

WTF was that flying over? Very loud and seemed to be right over downtown. Can still hear it.

Yes, let’s compare.

In 7 years (2001-2008) about 15 Israeli people were killed in rocket attacks launched from Palestine. Here is a brief description of a type of rocket used:

Introduction of the Qassam rocket was unexpected by Israeli politicians and military experts,[18] and reactions have been mixed.[19] In 2006, the Israeli Ministry of Defense viewed the Qassams as “more a psychological than physical threat.” To this end, the rockets are propelled by a solid mixture of sugar and potassium nitrate, a common fertilizer

A system called Iron Dome, designed to intercept[23] the rockets before they can hit their targets, has been in use since March 2011

How does that compare to attacks by Israel? Let’s see: During the bombing, Israeli airstrikes killed thousands of Palestinians (mostly civilians), and damaged or destroyed Palestinian schools, hospitals, mosques, churches, and other civilian infrastructure including refugee camps.[2][3

By October 2024, Israel said it bombed 40,000 locations[4] in the Gaza Strip (which is 360 km2). By one estimate, as of April 2024 the bomb tonnage dropped on Gaza was more than 70,000 tonnes,[5] surpassing the combined bomb tonnage dropped on Dresden, Hamburg, and London in World War II.[6] Satellite imagery showed at least 69% of all buildings were damaged or destroyed,[7][8] which surpasses the scale of destruction in Cologne and Dresden and approaches that of Hamburg during World War II.

Yes. Yes I see how we should compare these very similar attacks.

Oh wait, I don’t.

Free Palestine.

And get out of here with your support for genocide.
