The corporate media ignores the scale of the horror. It's the rough equivalent of 70 million people in the USA. Official data grossly underestimates the death toll.

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.

    As much as I agree with you, I think the purpose of the ‘women and children’ stats is more to avoid malicious attempts to derail the conversation by distracting with questions of “how many of them were Hamas tho”, “how do you know they weren’t Hamas”, etc.

      You always know you’re on the right side of history when demanding others disprove a negative.
