Bombs exploding tend to hurt paper, fires tend to hurt paper, all the dust from shock waves tends to hurt paper, and bulldozers demolishing everything tend to hurt paper. If something survives that, then I still don't think so.
If you'll ask why, that's for the same reason as why nobody wrote such a comment about an Alawi or Christian girl from Tartus in the last few days\weeks, to my knowledge. The estimates are of like 30 000 dead already, it's likely more, many civilians are hiding on the Russian bases but you wouldn't expect Russia to protect people it vowed to protect.
Suffering in Gaza is real, but the reason you think about it is that it's convenient, those who suffer are Sunni, and those who kill them are of the general western alliance. It can't be resolved who has more rights between these people, the westerners have just a bit more than Sunnis, but Sunnis have enough to cause outrage. The rest - not a beep.
That's because Gaza is both real and an approved propaganda narrative. And if it weren't the latter, then who knows, maybe it weren't the former too and Israelis would have found somebody else to bomb.
