"Backed with US weapons and munitions, Israel has dropped over ten thousand bombs in Gaza in just a week, twice as many as the US dropped in Afghanistan in a year and, according to UN sources, the equivalent to a quarter of a nuclear bomb."
A quarter of a nuclear bomb worth of explosives in one week. Let that sink in.

@antanicus a nuclear bomb's explosive force is measured in the equivalent force by kilotons of TNT. Measuring the TNT equivalent force to nuclear arms and back again is redundant and only attempts to conflate the fallout from nuclear weapons with traditional arms.
Imagine that...
@magnesium oh, I guess that makes the bombing OK then. Thanks for clearing that up! @antanicus
It's entirely possible to call out bad journalism and identify misleading rhetoric without saying bombing is okay.
And I'd say we should.
We should be especially critical of those sources that confirm our biases.
