Snip:

The pre-print of a new study led by Prof. Michael Spagat of Royal Holloway, University of London, and Palestinian political scientist Dr. Khalil Shikaki has revealed that Gaza's death toll from the ongoing conflict could be nearly 100,000, a figure significantly higher than official reports, Haaretz reported on 26 June.

The Gaza Mortality Survey (GMS), the most comprehensive to date, estimates around 75,200 violent deaths between October 2023 and January 2025—nearly 40 percent higher than the Gaza Health Ministry's reported death toll of 45,660 at the time.

Researchers carried out a detailed household survey, interviewing 2,000 families—around 9,700 individuals—to independently evaluate fatalities.

The study estimated 8,540 additional non-violent deaths through January, bringing the combined fatality count for that period to 83,740. Gaza's Health Ministry has recorded over 10,000 more deaths since then, raising the current total to nearly 100,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces.

I think this is still an undercount. I have read there are 300k missing

we will not know until there's a census.

technically, it is a literal beyond decamation,

anyone who is in favour of this, needs to be in a Nuremberg trial. especially politicians and national leaders.

The sad thing is the perpetrators will never be tried; Gaza will be depopulated, and most of the western press and social media will stop talking about it in ten years. The new resorts will be made and many will visit with a scarce nod to the previous inhabitants

And the true count may never be known ; the survivors will be scattered across dozens of camps and hundreds of places.

at best, there will be fake outrage and all the enablers will say BS like:

we didn't know

there's nothing we could have done

too late now...
