The Lancet says Palestinian death toll most likely to be 186,000 or more killed by Israel’s war on Gaza

1. Yes, the 38,000 is a wild underestimate. When you destroy the infrastructure of a place in the way that has happened to Gaza, the excess mortality above what would have been the case in a ‘normal’ year will be absolutely horrendous. The 186,000 could even be a lowball estimate. What is happening in Gaza is genocide pure and simple.

2. I’ll be there.

   • Sorry,y yout have lost me on that comment

3. I’ll open another bottle of wine when the total reaches 200,000!

   • Zelda – Ouch.

   • @ zelda. A murderous violence-fetishist alcoholic zionist with a bottle of wine. That’s all we need.

4. Neva eva believe apartheid Israel the zionist state wanted the “Hamas raped and beheaded babies” BS to stick justifying their murderous ways. This country & its settler society is an enigma that will serve as case studies for future references of human deviateness and deprivation .

5. Not a genocide. Just an ugly war with civilians caught in the middle, and it is Hamas’ fault. If you support Gaza and West Bank self determination and eventually an independent state, then you need to Free Gaza from Hamas and eliminate jihadist ideology.

   • Mark Leitch – 100% correct.

     • No, not correct. By the way what does our resident statistician have to say about this estimate? Are 183,000 militants?

       • Wheel – No, but a bit too many are willing and able to hold hostages, and in some cases torture them.

   • The Palestinian people will never be ‘freed’ from refusing to be enslaved by zionist invaders who have no business anywhere on their land.

   • Sure Mark. The ongoing outright theft of land by ‘Israelis’ has nothing to do with it whatsoever. Give me a f’ing break.

   • Its a genocide, the civilians, the Palestinians, are not being caught in the middle, they are the target and Hamas is the excuse to target them. The barrier to self-determination, independence and freedom is the occupier and all of its supporters including the NZ govt, the problem is not and never is, the occupied.

6. 160k is just so ridiculous, get a grip. More lies from Hamas and pro-islamic fascist supporters.

7. It doesn’t matter the number. It’s not a contest. No one in their right mind can support this continuing.

   Whatever appalling acts Hamas committed, and I no doubt that they did, you cannot justify what is going on day by day in Gaza and you cannot claim that Israel have been “the good guy”. They have no moral high ground to stand on here, if it ever existed.

   Netenyahu has a tiger by the tail and can’t let go. All that has happened in that another generation of Hamas have been recruited. You can’t kill ideas with bullets no matter how hard you try.

   Celebrating when they reach 200k Zelda? What type of person actually says that? Probably the same that would have been happy filling the trains in the 1940s. Different uniform, same mentality.

   • There’s no evidence that the Nazis were anywhere near as bloodthirsty as the bestial zionists.

     • The fact that you are also a holocaust denier does not surprise me at all

     • Ahhh Mohammed, always show your true colours.
       Now remind us again how young was the profits bride…6 I believe she was?
       Kings in Europe had marriage of convenience with children, but that was to form alliances and the child either stayed in their own country or never even met the king throughout the ‘marriage’.
       Your prophet lived with and raped that little girl.
       What a person to idolise…sums you and your religion to a T!

8. We are in the grip of insanity. A genocide is taking place behind the Gaza wall and we are trapped into the argument of ‘right’. Rights of the insane to mass murder. It is complicity, of course. Our stupefied leadership just the next cheek in the backside of zion. The murder-cult influence is everywhere. It’s power has stolen our ability to understand. To comprehend. To care. It’s propagandists have insinuated a godly command into the blank spaces where there was none; and now carry out their eschatological blood letting; dogs of war of the most despicable barbarity. Dancing while they wreck aid trucks. Filming themselves in womens underwear. laughing while dogs eat the bodies of babies in what is left of the cities of GAZA. We; the enlightened idiots of the west,
   turn a blind eye.
   And so are blind.

9. If I had my way my country would declare war. As, in retrospect, I would want against Germany in the mid-30s. It’s the same thing.

   Our values are solid through the years, the Israel defenders have no moral compass.

   The people of my heart, my ancestral lot, the Scots, I criticize like the rabid dogs they were in the British Empire. I suppose my blind spot is we NZ pakehas, though I always vote for Maori interests. My ‘real’ blind spot is I stare at girls in nightclubs.
