I really wish the world would go back to peacetime
Peace for whom? As far as I can tell since Nakba, the Palestinian people have not really had peace. Additional many other countries are often suffering under the boot of colonialism.
Latest figures are that 61,700 have been killed in Gaza since Oct 7th 2023, so a bit of napkin maths suggest we are 3% of the way towards peace in Gaza through the IDF's preferred method.
These numbers in Gaza are always undercounted. It counts direct acts of violence mostly, for people not still buried under rubble, and skips many deaths from lack of medicine, sickness, famine, complications etc.
Estimated deaths was about 200k many months ago, according to studies published in reputable newspapers. I have no clue how high it is now, has to be over 300,000 people at least
I think your math is wrong.
It assumes nobody is having kids.
You're assuming those kids aren't going to starve to death.
If they even live long enough for that. Most of the hospitals were bombed.
All of them have been bombed. Most are no longer even partially operational, and even then that's without the medical supplies also cut off from Israeli's blockade
Same. But when was that time? There has always been conflict.
Small, weak men can never be happy with what they have because they feel small and weak. They will always crave more.
There is always a war going on somewhere. Some areas have longer breaks than others.
