    ‘Deadliest attack since the holocaust’ is a very loaded statement that doesn’t indicate how deadly the attack itself was. The first Jewish person to be attacked an die as a result after the holocaust is also the deadliest attack since the holocaust even if it’s one guy. Hamas didn’t do an almost holocaust like this implies.

      It also is incorrect. In Argentina, Perón led the Dirty War against a disproportionately Jewish group of leftists and killed 1,900 to 3,000 Jews. But he was backed by the US and Israel so naturally this just is memory holed.

      Also, to this day there is no disambiguation of how many of the 1200 Israeli deaths in Oct 7 were civilian or military, nor how many were killed by Hamas or Israel due to Hannibal Directive friendly fire.
