SHOCK: Israel Has Killed 20.7% of Gaza's Population. That's 434,000 People.

The corporate media ignores the scale of the horror. It's the rough equivalent of 70 million people in the USA. Official data grossly underestimates the death toll.

updated as of yesterday (July 21): based on a statistical model developed by a prestigious medical journal called The Lancet, Israel has killed roughly 434,800 people in Gaza since the country’s military started to attack the territory on 8 October 2023. That’s 20.7% of Gaza’s entire pre-conflict population dead. Over half are women and children.

    I wonder what will happen. Will the general public ever realize this? Like lets say the worst case happens and they wipe out everyone. Israel takes over Gaza entirely. Will people not wonder where the 2 million people went? How does the media spin that? Altho i guess if people arent questioning the numbers already maybe its just on purpose. They want to believe it’s smaller than it is so they can justify ignoring it.

      Think they’re just going to keep suppressing dissidence until the genocide is complete and then spend the next several years sweeping it under the rug and keep on suppressing until people gradually forget about it and then the Israeli empire of genocide is just an everyday reality.

      The narrative will change into there never being any Palestinians at all, and that it was just a bunch of default “Arabs” that were driven to neighboring countries

      That’s not even the worst case. Israel is a fascist death cult and fascists need enemies. They won’t stop at Palestine. If they aren’t stopped, they’ll continue wars and genocides until they collapse from internal contradictions, outside sanctions or military defeat.

      Lebanon is the next obvious target. Also what’s left of Syria. More war with Iran too. Remember how while the war on Iran was still going, Israeli politicians already talked about who to attack next? They favored Pakistan, but also had a whole list of other countries, including even Turkey.

      But don’t think the “West” is safe from Israel! The US empire and others will surely import more and more fascist tactics and actual fascists from Israel to suppress leftists and general unrest as deteriorating living conditions lead to rising class consciousness. It’s already happening.
