Revealed: Israeli military’s own data indicates civilian death rate of 83% in Gaza war
Figures from a classified Israeli military intelligence database indicate five out of six Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza have been civilians, an extreme rate of slaughter rarely matched in recent decades of warfare.
As of May, 19 months into the war, Israeli intelligence officials listed 8,900 named fighters from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad as dead or “probably dead”, a joint investigation by the Guardian, the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call has found.
At that time 53,000 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli attacks, according to health authorities in Gaza, a toll that included combatants and civilians. Fighters named in the Israeli military intelligence database accounted for just 17% of the total, which indicates that 83% of the dead were civilians.
That apparent ratio of civilians to combatants among the dead is extremely high for modern warfare, even compared with conflicts notorious for indiscriminate killing, including the Syrian and Sudanese civil wars.
“That proportion of civilians among those killed would be unusually high, particularly as it has been going on for such a long time,” said Therése Pettersson from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, which tracks civilian casualties worldwide. “If you single out a particular city or battle in another conflict, you could find similar rates, but very rarely overall.”
…the true horror is that these numbers, despite the ghoulish evidence of genocide by Israel, is only a fraction of the real picture.
To appreciate the full enormity of Israel’s genocide, we need to include to those 60000+ deaths the estimated 15 000 still trapped under rubble plus the estimated 230 000 who have died from all the secondary impacts of famine, destroying all sanitation, destroying all hospitals.
We are knocking on over 300000 dead, the vast majority innocent civilians.
This is beyond measure, this is horror and it is being perpetrated by supposed allies.
What is the point of being a Democracy if we enable genocide with our silence?
Allies don’t let Allies commit war crimes.
This stopped being a response to October 7th a long time ago.
If you are still defending Israel, you are the war criminal too.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Pretty sure the US killed far more people in both Iraq and Afghanistan with 500,000+ killed, with an estimated 90% civilian death rate.

They murdered those people for the zionists too- note that Afghanistan was targeted because it did not pretend ‘israel’ is a real country, just like the DPRK, Iran, and Venezuela are being today.
My point was really only that Israel is still an taking baby steps when it comes to crimes against humanity compared to the US. But I guess if Israel is behind all of it the US’s Middle East activities, well, okay then.
Justl like Israel doesn’t consider Palestine a real country.
Just like Russia doesn’t consider Ukraine to be a real country.
Blood thirsty imperialists are all the same.
US support for the human butchery in Gaza, is no barriert to the Russians doing a deal with the Yanks over Sakhalin oil.
Same as Russia’s aggression against Ukraine is no barrier to the Americans doing a deal with the Russians over Sakhalin oil.
These two butchers have a common interest in raping humanity and the planet, sometimes their interests collide, sometimes their interests intersect.
This is the deal they did in Alaska

This is so disgusting it makes one want to totally give up on mankind. The wholesale butchering of so many human beings has become impossible to comprehend. It isn’t a war – it is extreme mass murder. So AGAIN what is NZ doing to counteract or show their revulsion at the carnage and barbaric waste of life. Why the hell should Palestinians be forced to relocate because it’s what Israel wants? How much lower can Israel stoop – not much – so how about it Luxon/Peters, it’s way past time to show you both still have some decency left in you. Imagine if the above photo was the aftermath from say Auckland – how would we all feel or cope? Saying more were killed in other confrontations is never a good enough excuse. This is happening NOW. It has to stop and only those in power can do this, so show some courage and just do it!
Totally agree .
Only trouble is Luxon Peters and Seymour lack the balls .
They are in the Zionists pockets.
