This little factoid has been suddenly picked up by anti-Israel media in the past couple couple of days.
If this is true, and if you accept the Hamas claims of 36,000 Gazans killed during the war, that means that Israel has dropped nearly two tons of bombs - 4,000 pounds - for every single person killed.
That's an SUV filled with explosives dropped on the head of every dead Gazan.
While making the argument that Israel is engaging in "genocide," the NGO is in fact proving the opposite. While they do not indicate their source for the 70,000 ton statistic, if true, it indicates a stunningly poor aim for a country that is practicing "genocide."
Put it another way, that is 70 pounds of explosives for every Gazan man, woman and child. A hand grenade, which can kill several people, weighs about a pound.
That is a hell of an inefficient genocide.
The source of the statistic is not mentioned. And Euro-Med is known to lie, constantly. Even in that same article, they said that Israel had killed 10,000 more people than even Hamas claimed at the time.
Which means that their source is either Hamas or a random number generator.
