Israel Drops 70,000 tons of Explosives on Gaza

Israel has dropped more than 70,000 tons of explosives on the Gaza Strip between 7 October and 24 April according to the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor.

The 70,000 tons of explosives are trending on the social media. One writes the “the carbon footprint and the scale of genocide are beyond any horror witnessed.”

Historical figures are revealing. The nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were about 15,000 tons of explosives.

What is revealing and devastating the bombs dropped on the enclave surpass those dropped on Dresden, Hamburg and London during World War II, the Monitor pointed out.

One points out the 70,000 tons that landed basically on all Gaza, from the north to the south and from the east to the west and the center of the enclave in the past eight months are roughly the equivalent to about 4.67 atomic bombs of the size dropped on Hiroshima.

The total number of bombs dropped by the German and the allies on each other was only 30,700 tons for the whole duration of WWII between 1939 and 1945.

The Germans on London 18,300 tons of explosives between 1940 and 1941. This is whilst historical records show the allies dropped 3,900 tons of TNT on the city of Dresden in German.

Another blogger suggests Gaza, an area of 364 kilometers is “five times smaller than the size of London,” and “how can anybody not call this kind of bombing other than ethnic cleansing.”

❝The accounts describe the theft of motorcycles, televisions, paintings, sofas and rugs on a wide scale, which has become routine. Both senior and junior commanders on the ground are said to be aware of the phenomenon, but are not taking disciplinary action to curb it.

According to the testimonies, as IDF soldiers leave Lebanon, they load stolen items onto their vehicles openly, without attempting to conceal them. “It’s on a crazy scale,” one soldier said. “Anyone who takes something – televisions, cigarettes, tools, whatever – immediately puts it in their vehicle or leaves it off to the side, not inside the army base, but it’s not hidden. Everyone sees it and understands.” – The Palestine Project
