I just don't believe those numbers. The issue is far bigger than that. It's horrendous in ME/Africa, but especially the middle east. 

About Israel being "state terrorism" Israel is a teeny tiny country compared to the others in the middle east. They are at war with 7 different countries/militias. Hamas. Hezbollah. Yemen. Iraq militias, Syrian militias and Iran. Why would a country as small as Israel terrorise all those regions/militias? It would be hugely costly in money and human life to do that needlessly. 

Why don't you believe those numbers? That's the question you should be asking yourself.


As for your second question, human life doesn't matter, war makes a profit. Next to protecting US' 'interests' in the ME.



Israel’s war on Gaza has turbocharged its already booming military-tech industry, with weapons and surveillance systems tested on Palestinians continuing to be sold around the world. Israel’s role as a global arms innovator has only deepened since October 7, 2023, and some governments and corporations are profiting.

Netanyahu does it to remain in power.

I think it's the opposite. I think you should be asking yourself why you do believe those numbers. Tens of millions have died in the middle east/Africa over the years, not a few thousand. No-one knows the true number of deaths so posting some article estimating the number is totally pointless I'm sorry. 

My point wasn't about the importance of human life. I know human life doesn't matter, but even if it doesn't matter what good is military equipment if you don't have the personnel to operate it? If they casually terrorise 7 different regions/militias they will needlessly lose all their extremely important military personal to operate their equipment. Israel is a very small country with a very small population. They have to be extremely resourceful and careful about who/how they fight. 

You could argue that the motive is to expand the territory of Israel, but that wouldn't explain their war with Yemen. A country that is so far away that it would be impossible for them to expand into.
