Important points! It was just an off the cuff comparison

IMO, it's not a great data set to claim Israelis are intentionally targeting children, but it is pretty good for saying they are not intentionally targeting military-age men.

Agree completely. I don't think they're intentionally targeting children but it does not look like they are targeting any subgroup in particular.

My original intent was just to say it looks pretty close to what you'd expect if you just dropped bombs at random. I might look to find better data later on

Yeah, rereading your text, I may have confused all the negatives and inferred that you support the post's implication that they're targeting children, but I meant to comment on the data in the context of 'biggest bar,' not to criticize opinions. Seeing OP's chart, the first thing I wanted was a population chart, and I'm glad you'd already provided one.

I didn't even pay attention the post title for some reason, I just went straight to the graph! But yeah the population pyramid shows the issue with that claim.

Anyway, no worries and no harm done! I appreciate the clarification
