Not sure why this is so hard. Call the war of WWII part of the modern era of warfare if you’d like. I’m not defending Israel here to be clear, I just think this stat is not useful.
Vietnam had plenty of coverage, but I listed all the other conflicting points that harm the data comparison. That specific war has always had problems being compared to other wars, let alone a one sided genocide.
If people can’t see the difference in these data sets and why they aren’t easily comparable, that’s fine.
No I do see what you meant. There's no easy comparison for what they're doing here.
