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.

Even the Romans considered decimation (killing 10% of a population) to be a brutally extreme measure. Imagine being twice as evil as the fucking Roman empire.

USA killed around the same percentage in DPRK.

i thought it was 20% of the entire population of the peninsula.

Entire population of Peninsula was around 28 million at the time of which 19 million were in south and 9 million in north. South lost less in absolute numbers and much less in %.

IIRC the Cambodian genocide under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge was 25% of the population. If the Isrealis killed 40% of Palestinians, they have surpassed one of the worst mass murderers in history.

Many of those were killed by American bombing campaigns as well though
