The scale of the horror in Gaza is unimaginable and many of the Western countries are letting Israel off the hook if not enabling them as well. In many ways we are all guilty of standing idly by.

This report from Donziger On Justice needs to be read...

The corporate media ignores the scale of the horror. It's the rough equivalent of 70 million people in the USA. Official data grossly underestimates the death toll.

Most informed observers know that the actual death count in Gaza due to Israel’s attacks on the territory is far worse than the large media outlets are reporting. Last February, my colleague Coll McCail — an astute college student in Glasgow — worked out a basic mathematical calculation that the corporate media refuses to do. The result of this calculation back then was chilling; now it is much worse.

Here is the latest data, updated as of yesterday (July 21): based on a statistical model developed by a prestigious medical journal called The Lancet, Israel has killed roughly 434,800 people in Gaza since the country’s military started to attack the territory on 8 October 2023. That’s 20.7% of Gaza’s entire pre-conflict population dead. Over half are women and children.

If the same level of killing and indirect death that took place in Gaza during the 594 days of the conflict happened in the United States proportional to population, roughly 70 million Americans would have been killed.
