Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37 396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Using the 2022 Gaza Strip population estimate of 2 375 259, this would translate to 7·9% of the total population in the Gaza Strip. A report from Feb 7, 2024, at the time when the direct death toll was 28 000, estimated that without a ceasefire there would be between 58 260 deaths (without an epidemic or escalation) and 85 750 deaths (if both occurred) by Aug 6, 2024.

This was before Israel began cutting off water, fuel, and medicine to Jenin, as part of their effort to expand the conflict. It ignores the thousands of casualties in the West Bank as well, which will continue to increase as Israel escalates.

You think a death on the battlefield is equivalent to bombing a hospital?

Ok.

More Palestinians killed than in 1948. But, we can't criticize the administration committing a holocaust, we can't say anything negative about Hitler because "Himmler would be even worse"

I still remember when you shitlibs said "WHATABOUTISM" was bad, now you use it unironically to defend ethnic cleansing.

War is not the extermination of an ethnic group. Deaths on a battlefield are not dead children buried under rubble.

You are comparing the battle of the bulge with a death camp.

So, assuming Kamala wins and that Israel continues escalating in the West Bank, in a year or two when the death count finally hits 600,001, you will finally allow criticism of your golden girl?

Because I have seen the polling regarding Israeli support of the current operations.

Because I have seen Israeli TV.

Because I have read Israeli news.

This is not a "Bibi bad, he goes away and peace will reign" situation. Anymore than impeaching Andrew Jackson would have stopped the American genocide of it's indigenous people.

Well shit. I guess I can't read.
