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.

Ceterum censeo Israel esse delendam

[-] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 44 points 23 hours ago

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.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 18 hours ago

USA killed around the same percentage in DPRK.

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 5 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 hours ago

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.

[-] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 3 points 8 hours ago

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

[-] inTheShadowOf@hexbear.net 27 points 23 hours ago

They are truly vile. Hatred is a vast understatement for how I'm feeling at this point. Death to the zionist entity forever. Never let that shit return when it's dismantled

[-] wombat@hexbear.net 88 points 1 day ago

all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.

[-] stink@lemmygrad.ml 52 points 1 day ago

All violence on any "western" country is justified at this point.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 13 points 19 hours ago

A million 9/11s on the west.

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 24 points 23 hours ago

Entirely soul crushing. There can be no words.

[-] TauZero@mander.xyz 47 points 1 day ago

One year ago I was literally being told "This can't be genocide! Only 4% of population has been killed." Now what?

[-] 3rdWorldCommieCat@hexbear.net 73 points 1 day ago

Death to the entirety of israhell and the west and anybody who even slightly supports them. Unlimited death and genocide and hell upon those monsters masquerading as humans.

[-] refolde@hexbear.net 53 points 1 day ago

Supporting Israel in any capacity should be a war crime punishable by death.

[-] tane@lemmy.zip 35 points 1 day ago

They are demons all.

[-] Redbolshevik2@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

Are people on this website ready to have conversations about Jewish supremacy yet

[-] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 30 points 23 hours ago

I think the logical conclusion from the events of recent years, and from the basic principle that class struggle superscedes identity politics, it was always "easy" to see that no identity group had an inherently revolutionary, or non-reactionary character.

That goes especially for the followers of abrahamic religions, who dominate large swathes of the globe and whose rulers posses unimaginable wealth.

Amongst these, the followers of Judaism had an even bigger advantage that there existed an exploitative project explicitly design to extract and spread wealth for them, while their numbers are small. This leading to to the result of them consistently ranking amongst the most well-off demographics, that is, the most bourgeoisfied of the proletariat anywhere in the world.

So in that sense, talking of a problem of Jewish supremacism is entirely valid. And yet, such a talk entirely understates the horror of the zionist project. It is not something that merely threatens some abstract ideal of racial equality, it is the lynchpin of western colonialism in the 21rst century. The zionist project very much has the potential to kick-start what might be known as the third world war by future historians, if it hasn't already.

[-] Redbolshevik2@hexbear.net 10 points 22 hours ago

Agreed on all counts. Excellently put.

Ya, this sounds waaaay more correct than the official numbers people have been using for awhile. Unfortunately, just like The Lancet's last estimates, no media is going to use these.

[-] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 31 points 1 day ago

I feel numb

[-] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 44 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] woodenghost@hexbear.net 16 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

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.

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

[-] refolde@hexbear.net 37 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 42 points 1 day ago

now that's about the number i think is likely near correct.

[-] wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 1 day ago

Now that they're all starving in concentration camps, that number will increase rapidly.

[-] refolde@hexbear.net 36 points 1 day ago

Is Israel what Nazi Germany would have turned out if every allied power except the Soviet Union and China had sided and backed them instead?
