It just a genocide the crimes of all crimes, not a big deal.
At least 3.6% of the population are confirmed killed so far, with a more accurate count being hard because so many bodies are buried under the rubble and Israel won't allow digging equipment in. Also, I say "so far" because the Zionazis kill more every day. Then there's the indirect deaths, from disease and hunger and suicide, which can range from 3-15 times higher than the direct casualty count. We have absolutely no idea what the real number is at this point because data collection is impossible.
In addition: 10% have sustained life-altering injuries (severe burns, missing limbs, etc) and 60% of Palestinians have lost family.
No big deal, right?
Oh is not as bad as the holocaust so it is ok? By that metrics all conflicts are ok they are not as bad as the holocust.
Stop lying about the definition . With your fake definition the holocaust will not be considered a genocide because guess what the jews thankfully still exists
Did you miss the "can range from 3-15 times higher than the direct casualty count" part?
Also, the Nazis were in charge for 12 years. This mass killing started only three years ago, but Israel will catch up.
Remember, Israel is blockading food, fuel, and medicine while still bombing and shooting people. This winter is probably going to be extremely bad and see the death toll spike: Israel targeted Gaza's water infrastructure, hospitals, and has destroyed 82 percent of all structures. No construction equipment or material is allowed in, so most people are effectively homeless.
The plan is total elimination of Gaza as a polity, either by displacing or exterminating the population. There's nowhere to displace them to (the Nazis ran into the same problem) so if Israel is not stopped then we will see them exterminate everyone.
And Israelis love it. The main electoral split is between people who support Netanyahu's current plans for genocide, and people who want even more genocide and think Netanyahu has been too soft on the Palestinians.
The population of Gaza Strip Declined by 10.6% in Two Years. https://www.pcbs.gov.ps/en/post-details/?postId=23319
Israel destroyed 85% of the agricultural fields , they are killing aid workers and now many aid organizations have financial trouble. Gaza depends on humanitarian aid now which most are blocked by israel. Israel is so sadistic that they prefer to extends israel suffering before being exterminated
