The population of Iraq at the time of the invasion was ~25 million, and was spread out over a large rural area. The population of the Gaza strip is 2 million in a small urban area. Using the correct numbers, you get about 1% and 1.5%, respectively. To be honest I’m surprised the Gaza death toll is so low given the population density and sheer number of bombs dropped. With all the genocide rhetoric I would’ve thought 10%+.
Civilian deaths from the Iraq invasion: 220,000 out of 45.5 million = 0.5%
Civilian deaths from the Gaza invasion: 30,000 out of 778,000 = 3.8%
Iraq invasion: 9 years. Gaza invasion: 3 months.
Civilian deaths from Russian bombing of Ukraine: ~10,000 over 2 years.
