Keep in mind this is an undercount of Palestinian death.
I've heard counts well over 100,000.
Keep in mind that 67,000 of those deaths are women and children.

If that is their contribution to the world, Israel deserves no allies. Disarm them. Alienate them. Embargo them. Let them know what it's like to go at it alone.

Thats a casualty estimate, not a death toll. Although the Death Toll is absolutely too low an estimate, in part because Israel bombed out of existence the offices who administrate the counting.

I did not know that, thank you.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, that includes injured and missing estimates.

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There is actually a word for that, "casualties."

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't "casualty" just mean someone killed or injured?

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Precisely. In some contexts it also defines damages other than.

To be fair, they're discriminately bombing a place with a lot of children. I don't think they're specifically targeting women or children, they just kill everyone. Some might call it a genocide.
