re: Figures do not lie but liars figure !

Just to clarify who is who here. Let me give you the figure in greater detail

Population of Russia + Ukraine = 180 million
Population of Israel + Gaza = 11 million

So, the ratio is ~16.3x

The war in Gaza has lasted about 5 months. War in Ukraine lasted 24 months. Ratio of 4.8x

16.3 x 4.8 = 78.5

Number of civilian deaths in Ukraine ~10,000
Number of civilian deaths in Gaza according the Gaza Health ministry ~30,000

Ratio here ~3x Multiplying the previous ratio we get:

78.5 x 3 = 235x

This is the ratio of "brutality" of Israel vs. that of Russia.

If we were arguing 1.1 vs. 0.9, that would be a fair argument. You are arguing 235 is less than 1.
