I live in St. Pete, Fl. It's bigger than a town but not much of a city, on the Pinellas peninsula, the town occupies 144 sq. mi., so it's about 12 m. by 12 m. The population's about 300,000. Pinellas county is the most densly populated in FL with about 1,000,000 people in 274 sq. mi. St. Pete is for the most part covered with houses. If you start in downtown, you can get to the edge of the city in any direction on city streets in about 20 minutes.

Gaza is also about 140 sq. mi. The estimates of the number of bombs dropped on Gaza vary from 70,000 to 200,000 tonnes. The low estimate is 500 tons of bombs for every square mi. It's remarkable to me that not everyone was killed. 70,000 tonnes of bombs is equivalent to 6 Hiroshima nuclear bombs.

Deepseek: Based on available data, the intensity of the bombing in Gaza is historically unprecedented in several key aspects, particularly the tonnage of explosives dropped over such a small, densely populated area in a short period.

So, this quibbling about 'genocide' is nonsense. This was the most deliberate and obvious attempted genocide in history.

Joe, the argument here seems to be siege vs genocide. If it was truly a genocide, it would be over by now. As you say, ordinance expended has been sufficient if the death of everyone there was the aim.

Fortunately, we all know from the so-called "best documented genocide in history" that an allegedly obvious thing is not always what it seems at first glance...

The Hiroshima-bomb parallel doesn't take into account the time factor. The energy released by 6 nuclear bombs in 15 milliseconds doesn't cause the same kind of damages as the energy released by the equivalent of 6 nuclear bombs in 15 months.

As a side note, the Allied bombings of German cities during WW2 were equivalent to dropping over 300 atomic bombs plus 500,000 tons of high explosive and incendiary bombs.



What the Israelis did in Gaza is what the Allies of WW2 used to call dehousing, "the creation of a refugee problem on an unprecedented scale," not genocide. And guess who will have to solve this refugee problem by opening their doors once again to a new wave of mass immigration in the next stage of this Zionist operation of ethnic cleansing ?

1st month - 20,000–25,000+ tonnes ~ 180 tonnes/sq. mi.

2nd month - 15,000-20,000 tonnes~ 180 tonnes/sq. mi.

months 1-5 - 70,000 tonnes ~ 500 tonnes/sq. mi.

Grok:
First Month (approx. Oct 7 – Nov 7, 2023)

~4,000 tonnes in the first week alone (by Oct 12), according to the Israeli Air Force (6,000 bombs).
By early November (~3–4 weeks in): Estimates range from 20,000–25,000+ tonnes.
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reported ~25,000 tonnes by early November (around Nov 2–9).
Other analyses put it around 20,000 tonnes by mid-November, based on strike data and average bomb weights.

The first month saw the highest intensity, with heavy use of large 1,000- and 2,000-pound bombs.

Second Month (approx. Nov 7 – Dec 7, 2023)

By late November (around Nov 26): Cumulative estimates reached ~40,000 tonnes since Oct 7.
This suggests the second month added roughly 15,000–20,000 tonnes

Cumulative totals later climbed to 70,000+ tonnes by April 2024 and 85,000+ by late 2024.
