        Last year, Lancet estimated the dead in Gaza at about a quarter of a million. A year has passed since then, and the killing has only increased, so it’s plausibly at at least twice that now. Approximately 5 percent of people are gay, and Israel makes no destination in killing them, so that’s about 25,000 murdered gays.

        Exact numbers for Iran are hard to find, but its of the order of magnitude of less then 1 a year, plus 20 in the immediate aftermath of the revolution.

        So it’s a two digit number vs a five digit one.

          That’s quite a leap in logic. Israel hasn’t killed any of these people because they are gay. I do see the point you are trying to make but defending the systematic killing of gay people undertaken by hamas or iran with whataboutism doesn’t help anyone
