Yes, but imagine a solemn minute for each named individual that lasts 5 weeks non-stop.
Not counting mutilated, orphaned, and (basically all of them, so 700k-ish) homeless. And with zero prospect of it ever getting better until they are alive.

I went with this figure, but same diff:

In August 2025, UNICEF estimated that more than 50,000 children had been killed or injured in Gaza.

The reason for the high number of children deaths even assuming indiscriminate killing (ie not targeting specifically children, which at least proven for snipers, isn’t the case): Gaza/Palestinians are being severely oppressed for decades (since 48, or 67 more directly), they have artificially limited water access, electricity, medicine, etc so they die young & in Gaza like 40% of the population are children.

Gaza Strip has a ×2.6 higher density of population than New York City (5,967.5/km2 vs 2,309.2/km2), but less than a quarter of population.
Bcs oppression.

General wiki info:

The Gaza Strip is 41 kilometres (25 miles) long, from 6 to 12 km (3.7 to 7.5 mi) wide, and has a total area of 365 km2 (141 sq mi). As of 2010, the Strip’s population mostly comprised Palestinians and refugees. It has a high proportion of youth, with 43.5% being children 14 or younger and 50% under age of 18. Sunni Islam is almost ubiquitous, with a Palestinian Christian minority. Gaza has an annual population growth rate of 1.99% (2023 est.), the 39th-highest in the world. Gaza’s unemployment rate is among the highest in the world, with an overall unemployment rate of 46% and a youth unemployment rate of 70%. Despite this, the area’s 97% literacy rate is higher than that of nearby Egypt, while youth literacy is 88%. Gaza has throughout the years been seen as a source of Palestinian nationalism and resistance.

Til - despite all the hardship they have higher literacy than USA with 86% (normal countries are ofc 98+).

… if there would have been a policy where elected officials would get regularly executed by an established design (eg if a referendum would show that, or like an impeachment mechanic, or end of term public review of their work, etc) I bet policies would have been run/voted on/executed differently.

Such executions would be low stake for the country, but direct accountability for elected public servants.

(I’m not advocating for such a system, just a random discussion ide,a or a writing prompt.)

That’s months of silence.

I mean, obviously, but this still made me literally lol - like why was this even an expectation?
(I should know more about these ECRs.)

If we don’t do it for “”“global”“” school mass shutting events (due to the frequency it would be very impractical), this “school shooting” shouldn’t be the case either.

Also influencers like this pos actually affect the practical liberties of freedom of speech by “shouting the loudest” from their professionally raised platforms to comparably silence minorities & their talking points.

Also, doesn’t usually Kenny get killed?

That’s what I’m saying, yeah :).

(That is the current state in most democratic-ish countries afaik, I’m not saying that is the inevitable state.)

That’s a weird logic in that context - why would politicians link/limit max office age and then look for a way around it?
They could either just abolish it or if there was political will people-power keep it bcs they’ve just installed it.

You would have too make to many hypothetical 'if’s to get to that scenario making it impractical to debate seriously.

(Also raising retirement age from 62 to eg 65 doesn’t help them all that much, raising it from 62 to 85 is just lol - especially when they can simply vote in expedition for them.)

Ok, but at some point Trump is just gonna say that exact thing, right?

Just one more lane gun, bro!
