From June 1 to June 11, Israeli forces killed over 800 Palestinians and wounded over 2,400 as they carried out bombardments and raids across Gaza, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) reported. This is an average of over 72 Palestinians killed each day at the hands of Israeli forces.
This includes Israel’s assault of Nuseirat refugee camp on Saturday that killed 274 Palestinians, including 64 children, and injured 698 others, with Israeli forces carrying out one of the most deadly single attacks of their genocidal siege so far in order to retrieve four Israelis held hostage in Gaza. The attack was carried out on a bustling civilian center in the middle of the day, raising questions about whether Israeli forces violated international law.
The 11-day death toll also includes at least 70 Palestinians killed and over 300 wounded due to heavy Israeli shelling in central Gaza on June 4, MSF said; and at least 40 Palestinians killed and 74 wounded on June 6, when Israel bombed a UN school-turned-shelter in Nuseirat. The killings of hundreds of Palestinians in other Israeli attacks, ranging across southern, central and northern Gaza, in the first days of June have otherwise been largely ignored by news outlets, and are hardly documented by official sources.
Behind each death is a horrifying story of a Palestinian who lived through months of displacement, constant bombardment, hunger and likely the loss of family members, bearing witness to the 37,000 people killed by Israel in Gaza over eight months just to themselves be killed by Israeli forces. Survivors recall horrors, like children who recount being pulled out of the rubble of their homes, and the pervading smell of death.
Cunts
I wonder who downvoted you. Must either not be an Aussie, or a zionist cunt.
In the case of an Aussie Zionist, it’s 50/50. Or Schrödinger’s Cunt, if you will.

Cat, from inside the box: Cunt

I can’t imagine this ever settling down. How could they ever become neutral let alone good neighbours ever after all this that Israel has been doing to Palestine during the past half year??!
It was bad before but this is unforgivable!
The end goal is near-total eradication of the natives. Similar to native americans in the U.S. Israel is a settler state, much like the U.S was, and actively drove the natives out of their homes. They’re almost done though, we’re seeing some of the final acts of the ethnic cleansing/genocide.
Once there are barely any left, they’ll feign sympathy to garner support, and that’ll be that. Another win for imperialist settler states. Nothing unique or special about it.
I’m sure there are plenty of Israelis that want to do this even if they won’t admit it to themselves but this isn’t the final anything. The IDF has killed around 37,000 Palestinians out of ~2.3 million. That’s horrible but nowhere near the “barely any left” stage.
A genocide on the scale of millions takes industrial effort to accomplish. I’m not saying it couldn’t happen, but given Israel’s reliance on foreign aid, current industrial capacity, and political position, it seems unlikely. My guess is Israel will take some more territory and the conflict (kinda tough to call the IDF bombing almost exclusively civilians a war) will peter out. Foreign aid will be allowed back in and Israel will put its mask back on.
Personally, I don’t see how this doesn’t end with half the middle east actively going to war with Israel if they don’t stop soon. The only thing really keeping them safe is the US, and Israel has burned a lot of political capital here. Their leaders are awful, power-hungry shits, but they’re not stupid. If they don’t try to rebuild some of that capital, there’s every chance that Israel loses its lifeline.
What comes years after things die down, I don’t know. Gazan sentiment towards Israel was already overwhelmingly negative before this, but the IDF has never done anything on this scale before. I don’t think Israel can allow Gaza any type of self-governance for decades after this. This is beyond even post-WW2 Japan levels of destruction, and unlike Japan every nation around them is still on their side.
The actual death toll is likely 200,000+ over the last 8 months.
The 37,000 number is only bodies that have been identified, cases of starvation and disease are also excluded.
And this is from march!!!
They’ve already bombed the vast majority of Gaza and resettled people, and the next step is almost certainly another expansion of the settler state of Israel.
Most of the millions of people that live in Gaza have been resettled into a very small area. Whether Israel decides to nuke them or force them into neighboring countries as refugees is irrelevant to their end goal of settling the territory. The Palestinians are just “rats” that need to be removed.
I’m sure they’d prefer to nuke them and just get rid of their problem once and for all; a final solution of sorts. However they do have limited political capital in this conflict, and nuking the remaining civilians does have the potential to negative impact U.S-Isrsel relations. So there’s a real chance they opt for just pushing the “human animals” out of the territories.
It’s easy. Hamas can be destroyed and the surviving 99% of Gaza can move on with their lives.
The 35,000 Gazans killed already comprise 1.6% of the population. The 85,000 injured comprises another 4% of the population. Thousands of children have already experienced severe malnutrition that will lead to stunting and lifelong effects. So no, 99% of Gaza will not be able to “move on.”
Rounding difference aside, yes, the stunting and lifelong effects of malnutrition especially in a population as adolescent as Gaza, which existed prior to the present state of war, too, right?
Also, yes, sometimes when a state actor, or even a quasi state actor, as it is, starts a war, it exacerbates existing problems with food security. The singular reason that Gaza didn’t have famine rival to that of Darfur prior to the current state of War is the generosity of the West enabled Hamas to plunder Gaza for generations such that Gaza’s primary export became international terror.
Hamas caused and continuez to cause the present state of war by starting it and then refusing to surrender or follow any international law whatsoever. Criminal enterprises have no legitimate right to statehood, or to make demands for diplomacy. It’s almost as if the present state of things is exactly what Hamas hoped for on October 6.
Gaza should have people in charge that will not take billions of dollars from Iran and other “Group of Friends” countries and use every penny to build the most elaborate tunnel system the world has ever known while it’s people grow up malnourished as you’ve described, and instead spend some of it on food infrastructure. This is what people mean when they talk about UNRWA and certain NGOs being an obstruction to peace in Gaza; the people of Gaza wouldn’t tolerate, let alone aid and abet Hamas, if they had to bear the actual consequences of Hamas, such as the food insecurity invited by Hamas by having turning not just its air, water, and land ports of entry into instruments of a criminal enterprise, but every school, hospital, and apartment building along 450 miles of tunnels, too, decade after decade.
How many more millions of Gazan’s should live and die malnourished anyway under an actual far right fascist regime?
Hamas expert or Hamas synoathizer? Ridiculous take. It’s a criminal organization and can and will be eliminated. Israel is going to do it or it’s going to continue to blockade and force Gaza to do it itself. Surely the people living there are getting tired of how it’s going under Hamas’s leadership.
Israel committting an Oct7 every single week.
Israel kills more children than Oct 7 every single day.
Be fucking accurate
They approximately are, you just can’t read. They claimed there’s an Oct 7th per WEEK, not per day. If you divide your final number by 7, you get approximately 40k, which is very close to the 35k+ VIOLENTLY murdered by Israel since Oct 7th (not counting all the thousands that have died since as a consequence of hunger and preventable diseases).
35k+ VIOLENTLY murdered
What other kind of murders besides violent are there?
36 children were killed in total on Oct 7. This includes israeli friendly fire.
More than 15.000 children have been killed in Gaza since then.
15000/253 = 59 children killed by israel per day
Almost double of Oct 7. Each day. And I’m probably undercounting the Palestinian children and also counting all israeli friendly fire.
40.000/253*7 =1107 Gazans killed each week by israel.
Slightly under the 1136 on oct7.but substract the at least 70 confirmed friendly fire casualties from israel and it is more. And I’m not even sure why we’re including the 373 IDF soldiers in the 1136.
That is a giant number. Wow.
Wait until you find out the actual death toll is likely 200,000+ over the last 8 months.
The 37,000 number is only bodies that have been identified, cases of starvation and disease are also excluded.
Side note:
Do a little investigative reading regarding Israel and their part in the killing of Armenian Christians. Chit is wild.
A little investigative reading?
They are openly allied to Azerbaijan, supply it with most advanced weapons, and Israel’s puppet organizations like the ADL have historically went out of their way in Armenian Genocide denial.
When the argument that recognizing any other genocide insults the Holocaust victims soured completely, they started working by diverting and diluting attention from that subject.
Israel is consistently allied with genocidal and totalitarian powers (not states, rather factions and ideas), because their “business model” as a state is one of selling indulgence papers. Criminals get their reputation whitewashed by supporting Israel, and are interested in supporting Israel even without any direct payback, because it’s like a lightning rod for anything else.
One doesn’t have to investigate it, they are not hiding it.
