    Listened to MP Housefather about this… it’s like these folks can’t connect the dots that this is a response to Israel’a actions and if the death toll today was an order of magnitude lower and starvation wasn’t used as a weapon, we wouldn’t be talking about this.

        I know, I’m not even attempting to get to an “insignificant” number, rather to a scale that sounds more “palatable” for an armed conflict, that wouldn’t elicit this sort of response.

        I guess proportionality could be a useful gauge. 1:1, 2:1, we’re at 25:1 now.
