Fascinating. The pro-Israel subreddits consider the BBC to be very pro-Palestinian.
That last sentence and his voice breaking up with so much pain.
Iām just after watching a video of a settler, the widow of a soldier, eulogising him and talking about how full of life he was and love, coming home every night to tell about all the homes he destroyed, and begging them to end this war now. Just eliminate the filthy strip, we will build farms there and fill them with love and lifeā¦.
Trauma is powerful.
Itās long been the working assumption of anyone honestly thinking about the death toll in Gaza that the ministry of health number is a baseline - named people that they can verify are killed (undoubtedly with killing on such an industrial scale and with such widespread and heavy destruction of infrastructure there will be some mistakes. But there are loads of people disappeared and bulldozed into pits under rubble.)
Yeah, makes sense. The highest number Iāve seen (donāt remember where, though) is something like 150,000 to 180,000.
But hey, the real criminals are musicians saying ādeath death to the IDFā⦠donāt pay any mind to this genocide.
Thatās the one published in the Lancet? Itās hard to tell, but thatās the point.
The researcher above praised the heroic efforts of the health ministry to track the killed but itās impossible when society is being dismantled both systematically and chaotically around them.
You are correct that it is the point. More often than not, most people are only willing to call a genocide that once itās over⦠Iām sure you remember all the dithering over the violence in Rwanda and the Balkans, in terms of what it should be called. People were brutally killed in both places as the west argued over what the fuck to call what was happening and hence define their legal obligationsā¦
