Evil

The pure evil commited by Israel shows there is no such thing as morality on this planet. 

The complete disregard by Western countries shows that human life does not matter.

1k Israelis were killed since the Hamas attacks on 7 October.

27k Palestinians have been killed from 7 October to 7 February, with a further 60k injured. Over 70% of Palestinian deaths have been women and children. A further 8k are missing presumed dead. The deaths amount to close to 2% of the entire Gazan population.

More than 8k Palestinians are in Israeli jails, 80% of whom are held without charge since 7 October 

More than 50% of Gaza City has been turned into rubble as retaliation, including more than 200 buildings of cultural and historical significance.

More than 90% of Gazan residents have been displaced.

66% of hospitals are inoperable.

7% of the existing water supply is in operation.

This is domicile.

Some statistics from January have been updated to account for the most recent data.

Two weeks after the Hamas attack on Israel, some anti-Zionist Jews pinned an op-ed calling for Israel to stop its unfolding genocide. Since then, the number of Palestinians killed has increased 10-fold while the initial condemnation to the genocide has largely faded from public attention.

The outrage sparked by the Hamas attack pales in significance to the atrocities commited by Israel in the preceding years. 

Between 2000 and the recent wave of violence, more than 10,600 Palestinians were killed by Israelis, according to human rights group B’Tselem, compared to 1,329 Israelis by Palestinians – an eight-fold difference. The decades between 1948 and 2000 are filled with tens of thousands more dead – largely Palestinians. 

The story of this conflict, the numbers clearly show, has been the story of overwhelming Palestinian death and displacement.

While there are many wars going on, this one stands out for the unprecedented scale of death and destruction committed relative to other conflicts and the complicity of Western governments for an evil akin to a modern day Holocaust.
