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.

    Adding to what the other person said, when reporting on Palestine until like a year ago (and for certain parts of the political spectrum even now) it was essential to avoid making any statements that have holes, real or imagined, for Zionists to exploit. That’s why the official casualty count is an underestimate, and why the number of women and children is stressed so much. Israel used to (and sometimes still does) always get the benefit of the doubt, so making sure the facts being presented are ironclad has/had to take precedence over covering the full extent of the madness.
