Table: Projected Fatalities by March 2025

"These figures are not speculative—they reflect the grim logic of total siege. Nearly one million Palestinians in Gaza, or 40% of the entire population, may already be dead or dying as a result of this genocide. Over half are children. This is not hyperbole. It is arithmetic backed by epidemiological modeling, humanitarian reports, and the lived reality on the ground.

Some may struggle to accept the scale of this toll. But Gaza has already provided ample evidence. By late 2024, Gaza’s own health officials were warning of “thousands of excess deaths” due to disease outbreaks and untreated conditions. International humanitarian workers described watching children die of dehydration and women die in childbirth with no medical help. In one field survey, over 60% of Palestinians reported losing at least one family member since the genocide began. In families of six to eight people, this means multiple losses in each household. The pain is collective, interwoven into the fabric of survival itself.

And still, many of these deaths go uncounted—not because they are invisible, but because the world has chosen to look away. The elderly man who dies because he cannot access dialysis. The infant who vomits blood from typhoid. The teenager with an infected wound that turns septic in a tent. The entire family who dies of hunger surrounded by fields of food they are not allowed to touch. These are not “indirect” deaths in the moral sense. They are central to the machinery of extermination. They are what make this genocide not just an event—but an ongoing system.

The magnitude of this loss is not always visible in news footage. But it is carved into Gaza’s epidemiological data. It is heard in the final voicemail of a doctor who could no longer treat his patients. It is felt in the testimonies of parents burying child after child. And it is codified in every policy decision that blocks aid, bombs hospitals, and calls starvation “necessary pressure.”

The indirect deaths may be harder to photograph—but they are no less real, no less intentional, and no less worthy of mourning and outrage. They are genocide by other means. They are the slow kill. And they must be counted."

US President Donald Trump's new travel ban went into effect on Monday, to far less mobilisation and criticism than the first time around, in 2017.  With a bigger mandate this time, and relatively high approval ratings for his immigration policy, Trump's new travel ban has not just expanded, it's also on far more solid legal footing, immigration lawyers told Middle East Eye.

how is it that after more than twenty months, four countries being bombed, more than a hundred thousand dead, and thousands more missing we're still debating whether or not israel has the right to exist?

how can a 'state' that is actively murdering children and blowing up hospitals and refugee camps ever be considered legitimate?

it is immoral, inhumane, and downright cruel to support the zionist entity in any way. most of us live in countries that were once colonised. shouldn't we stand in solidarity with people who are currently colonised?

if you would like to help, please donate to alaa amsse, a mother of two young children. she just wants to ensure that they remain safe and healthy throughout this genocide. her fundraiser is verified.

to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand whether or not killing civilian aid seekers is bad or not. the morality is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the torah, ayatollah khamenei's tweets, the mean things that antizionists say to me online, and this image, a lot of the nuances of the situation will fly over the typical commentator's head.

Any final decision on retaliation, however, will rest with the country's Supreme National Security Council and leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

We are seeing the same playbook as Iraq and a lot of Iraqi diaspora also said the same things when it was ongoing. Regardless of how you feel about the Iranian government, do not fucking do CIA job

having so much fun blocking anyone who repeats the whole us is getting dragged into war rhetoric. they're never aggressors no they're just simply forced to murder people. they're not a sovereign, nuclear armed state with the largest gdp. this shit is old. this shit is propaganda.

Seeing a thousand "fork found in kitchen" and "believe scientists" and "we all knew about AI" tags on a post with an AI incorrectly summarizing a preprint study advising thoughtful use of AI as "AI is making your brain weak and ineffective" was making me crazy i'm sorry i tried not reblogging it like four times and every time i didn't reblog it it had like an order of magnitude more notes
