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.

Zionist holocaust

No matter how often you call it a statistical model, taking death tolls from last year and multiplying by the time since then is very crude at best. The conditions have gotten much worse, even since then. The true number of murdered people is likely to be even higher

Unfortunately they keep killing the journalists and anyone else who could get a more realistic number

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 8 points 15 hours ago

a far cry from the 20k chuds were claiming officially.

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Top Jewish senators and celibrities support the Gaza genocide. The good ones like Bernie and Jon Stewart ha e no say. Gal Gadot, Jerry Sienfield, Schumer and more I can't remember now supports the Gaza apartheid and genocide.

[-] Eddbopkins@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

That is the definition of genocide?

[-] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 23 hours ago

Btw the nazis killed 25% of Belarus population, which was the highest percentage wise.

[-] msage@programming.dev 5 points 15 hours ago

New high score!

Fuck me, we need to start hanging billionares like yesterday.

[-] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 14 hours ago

Not to doomsay but its obvious that Israhell will top that one as well.

[-] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

The news/Lemmy really makes it sound like more. I wonder how many have successfully fled.

I'd be curious to know how much of the 2022 population still exists in Gaza today.

[-] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

A quick search came up with this suggesting a 6% drop.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/gaza-population-down-by-6-since-start-war-palestinian-statistics-bureau-2025-01-01/

Also interesting to note there’s this saying the population in Gaza went up 2%. Not sure what political leanings world population review have or why such a site would have any but I’m obviously skeptical. https://worldpopulationreview.com/cities/palestine/gaza

23000 hamas fighters remain with a population of around 400000 so around 5%.

[-] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 4 points 19 hours ago

The 6% announced drop was back in January

[-] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes. After 18 months? Of fight. So another 6 months on that.

This fucked, since Israel goal is to kill them all. This just means this shit isn't even close to over. Can we please get an American Congress that will put a stop to this?

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 39 points 23 hours ago

There are ~3 congress members out of 535 total who oppose this genocide. Thats ~0.56%, despite the general population of the US being over half opposing the genocide.

The US isn't a democracy, its a capitalist dictatorship, and meaningful change can't come through its own system.

[-] AlHouthi4President@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 day ago

The US government is the primary driver behind this war of extermination

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

Hence why I said Congress has the power to stop this. We cut off money and weapons and send our military in to bring aid to Gaza this shit would end.

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 5 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Congress has the power to stop it in the same way a serial killer has the power to stop killing.

They're the ones intentionally doing it, they're not going to just choose to stop.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago

Most Americans fully support this. AOC votes to send missiles to Israel and the Democrats are falling over eachother to defend her.

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 12 hours ago

No they don't.

[-] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 23 hours ago

Oh you mean like AOC who told us peasants that the iron dome is defensive and of need of american taxdollars.

[-] lesinge@sh.itjust.works -3 points 1 day ago
