I also saw in Jon Elmer’s report this week that 900,000 people are displaced. So 2/3 of the population have been ethnically cleaned, but no no, definitely a genocide bro, just trying to get the hostages bro, trust.
“israel has a right to defend itself” motherfuckers reeeeeeeal quiet today, huh.
i also skimmed the article, and apparently the figure was estimated by comparing gaza to other similar conflicts and accounting for non-direct deaths, as opposed to palestine only adding to the death toll if 1. a body is retrieved 2. a body is identified and 3. it is determined that the body belongs to someone whose death was directly caused by the IDF (shot/ blown up/ died in the rubble). i knew that the 60k dead was a rather low estimate but i did not expect it to be that low. this is sickening. why doesn’t anyone give a fuck?
Lots of people do, but also lots of people don’t. Those that don’t, enjoy that this is happening because they don’t view Palestinians as human beings
It’s mostly officials, political and business leaders etc that are profiting that don’t care, average people do seem to care from what I can tell. Even my libbed out coworkers now agree Israel is a genocidal nazi state that must be stopped and aren’t shedding any tears for nazis like Kirk getting killed.
same sentiment here from the people i volunteer with, but there’s still so many dumbfucks that consider israel’s actions a “necessary evil” and it makes me so depressed.
They mostly go along to get along, pretending Just selfish cunts more than believing them.
Nah their too busy crying about how Charlie Kirk had his throat exploded by a Nazi that thought Kirk wasn’t enough of a Nazi. And if they weren’t doing that they would be calling the source anti semitic Hamas terrorists, and arguing for more weapons shipments.
nothing’s new under the sun, i suppose. i need the copium they’re huffing.
Another thing is, it is very easy to dismiss these figures as ‘speculation’. Hence it is easy to blame people who voice this estimates…
