Almost 84,000 people died in Gaza between October 2023 and early January 2025 as a result of the Hamas–Israel war, estimates the first independent survey of deaths. More than half of the people killed were women aged 18–64, children or people over 65, reports the study, which was posted on the preprint server medRxiv last week1. It has not been peer reviewed.

Hamas-Israel war

Yeah. That’s just a red flag for me at this point. If you’re still calling this genocide “a war” I really can’t respect anything that you say.

Seriously, apparently its difficult for some to call it as it is, but its no longer a legitimate war when you're starving and bombing those seeking refuge. Shame on Nature, should be treated as propaganda.

There are SO MANY red flags here. The fact that they refer to a two month ceasefire is another one. When was there ever a ceasefire observed by Israel for more than a couple days at most?! And I love that being starved to death or dying because you could no longer get cancer treatment is considered “nonviolent”. Jesus fucking christ.

Hamas has like 10,000 members, who most certainly were not all killed, just to give you some sense of the level of civilian casualties that Israel finds acceptable
