    So, if I look at your whataboutism argument

    Why would you want to include every single death in Gaza and then coldly say 450.000 excess deaths (read that number again) in Iraq ‘don’t really count’?

      Because the coalition didn’t encourage the civil war in Iraq and they pumped as much aid into Iraq as they could by air, land, and sea.

      Israel is doing the exact opposite. They want people to fight Hamas. They are restricting aid. They are preventing civilians from leaving the combat area.

      Everyone wants to forget that in 2004 the Sunnis, Shia, and Kurds fought mercilessly over territory. It’s why their constitution is set up to have a leader from each faction.
