New evidence Israel’s butchery of civilians unmatched in the modern age

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.
