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.

    This fucked, since Israel goal is to kill them all. This just means this shit isn’t even close to over. Can we please get an American Congress that will put a stop to this?

      There are ~3 congress members out of 535 total who oppose this genocide. Thats ~0.56%, despite the general population of the US being over half opposing the genocide.

      The US isn’t a democracy, its a capitalist dictatorship, and meaningful change can’t come through its own system.

        Hence why I said Congress has the power to stop this. We cut off money and weapons and send our military in to bring aid to Gaza this shit would end.

      Most Americans fully support this. AOC votes to send missiles to Israel and the Democrats are falling over eachother to defend her.

      3.5 more years until we have a chance of restoring sanity. Assuming there is still an America at that point.
