   TIL the official numbers coming out of #Gaza are severely limited. Apparently #TheLancet estimate 186,000 dead‼️ 😱😣😡
   
   That's about 8% of the population dead at the hands of #starvation, lack of water, and medical infrastructure (because hospitals were almost all bombed by #Israel. That's like two people from your extended family, dead‼️ The uprising on October 7 may've been bad but happened after decades of colonial slave-like occupation, and land theft that even the #UN recognises as criminal, ***and*** reports even out of Israel indicate that Israel forces may've killed more Israelis on October 7 than Hamas (see the #HannibalDirective **) .
   
   (** From wikipedia: According to #Haaretz reporter Leibovich-Dar, the motivation for the directive was the capture of two Israeli soldiers during a Hezbollah ambush in South Lebanon in June 1986).

     Imagine being forced out of your home, and displaced multiple times over the course of 9 months? The physical toll that would have? Now try doing that without adequate food. 😵
     
     The number of refugees produced since October 7 are in the millions. Its disgusting... sometimes I think its a goal of warhawks to produce as many refugees as possible to fill job vacancies at restaurants in their so-called "developed" world 🤮. That is in addition to the age old but no less foul, corporate profiteering from the arms trade.
     
     This is really, really bad. It boggles my mind that some are focused on #elections between complicit 🤡🤡 candidates like it means something.
     
     To me, #protest is only way we will achieve a change for peace. For centuries, these peoples lived side-by-side in relative harmony, it ought be our (EDIT:focus) to return to that. 🖤💚🤍💙.

     (3 of 3) I probably wasted three hours of my life learning and writing about the fact that 186,000 people are dead and almost everyone displaced in Gaza... but as a person with a soul I just can't hear about that and ignore it.
