Analysis of Israel’s figures shows it murdered 377,000 Palestinians during genocide so far – half of them kids
Israel’s attempts to dismiss death toll as ‘falsely reported by Hamas’ exposed as a lie to hide horrific reality

A new report by Harvard University has confirmed what opponents of Israel’s genocide in Gaza have always known: that the number of people murdered by Israel in Gaza far exceeds the official death toll and that Israel’s propaganda attempts to discredit even the official toll as exaggerated are a shameful lie.
The official death toll in Gaza of just under 60,000 so far was always clearly an under-estimate, because the Gaza health ministry only counts bodies recovered and brought to a hospital. Victims buried under rubble or blown apart with their few remains gathered into plastic bags are not included.
But Yaakov Garb’s report for Harvard Dataverse has analysed the Israeli military’s own data and combined these with careful spatial mapping to reveal a demographic horror story: almost 400,000 people – at least 377,000 – have disappeared from Gaza’s pre-genocide population of 2.227 million, reducing it to 1.85 million when measured for the study.
Israel and its propagandists have tried to dismiss the official death toll as Palestinian propaganda, but those who have watched the relentless bombing, shelling, shooting and starvation of Israel’s live-streamed extermination campaign knew full well it was much higher than the official figure.
You’d have to be brain dead and or a monster not to know it
Israel has murdered almost one in five of the innocent people of Gaza, including – based on half of the people of Gaza being children – more than 150,000 children.
Israel is a terror state. Keir Starmer and every ‘leader’ assisting in its genocide belong on trial in the Hague.

Sony Thang@nxt888:
That 1876 cartoon says everything.
A man stands over a murdered child and calls it “self-defense.” Not because the child posed a threat but because she might have grown up with power. That’s not just a window into the past. It’s a mirror for the present.
The logic hasn’t changed.
Kill them now, so they never get to stand.
Bomb them now, so they never get to speak.
Erase them now, so you never have to answer to them later.
It was the justification for slavery.
It was the justification for Jim Crow.
It was the justification for Native genocide.
And today, it is the justification for Gaza.
They don’t fear resistance because it’s violent.
They fear it because it’s justified.
They fear the future where the people they’ve silenced are no longer silent.
Where the child they tried to bury grows up and names the crime.
Where the grave stops being the last word.
That cartoon isn’t just history.
It’s prophecy.
And the empire knows it.
The U.S. was never designed to serve its people.
It was designed to consume others.
It was built on extermination, slavery, and expansion.
Then it refined that logic into empire.
That’s why every crisis at home is met with bombs abroad.
War isn’t a policy error. It’s a business model.
This is why they can spend trillions to turn cities into rubble, but can’t fix their own drinking water.
Why they can fund apartheid with military aid, but need a GoFundMe to pay for insulin.
And now that empire is breaking down, the parasites are turning inward.
Looting the last reserves.
Privatizing collapse.
Selling off what’s left of the republic to feed a dying narrative.
America doesn’t need an external enemy to collapse.
It’s devouring itself in real time.
Like Israel, it cannot reform.
Because reform would require confronting the myth of its own innocence.
And neither empire nor apartheid survives that reckoning.
So they double down.
On censorship.
On militarism.
On manufactured enemies.
Because the one thing they fear more than defeat is a world that no longer asks what they think.
The system isn’t failing.
It’s functioning exactly as it was designed to.
What’s different now is the world is no longer buying in.
And once fear no longer works, all that’s left is spectacle.
Which is where both Washington and Tel Aviv now stand
Screaming into a storm they can no longer control.
