Let me say that I do believe that the Israeli government is committing genocide. And they believe they are too. They've said the quiet part out loud. They don't want to live in peace with the Palestinians.

    Can you tell us how many people have died of natural causes in Gaza over the past 27 months?

    If you don't have the statistics are you able to extrapolate from past statistics?

    Also, who broke the peace agreement on Oct 07 2023?

    How have you still not copped a ban for repeated genocide denial?

    Do you want to supply some evidence when you make accusations about our instance?

    The Hamas attack on October 7 was also wrong and bad. No excuses there. But there has to be limits on retaliation.

    According to worldbank.org:

    • In 2022 the crude death rate across Gaza and West Bank was 3.0/1000pop/year.
    • In 2023 it was 7.0/1000pop/year.

    I expect Gaza specific stats are worse. Maybe someone else has further info they can cite, perhaps also relating to 2024-2025, but like others have said, such data is difficult to collect when Israel repeatedly bombs hospitals and their personnel.
