The US-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza accounted for almost 40 percent of total civilian casualties around the world
According to a new report from the UK-based conflict monitor Action on Armed Violence (AOAV), Israel has been identified as "the single largest perpetrator of civilian harm in 2024," responsible for 55 percent of "all civilian casualties from explosive weapons" worldwide.
AOAV also noted a 67 percent increase in civilian casualties resulting from "explosive violence" since the start of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
"The report attributes 33,910 reported deaths and injuries to Israeli actions, primarily in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. This also marks a 139% increase in civilian harm caused by Israel compared to 2023, when it accounted for 39% of global civilian casualties," a
press release from AOAV states.
As of 15 January, Gaza's Ministry of Health
documented at least 46,707 Palestinian fatalities, with over 110,265 others injured. However, a
scientific study published recently by The Lancet revealed that the death toll from the Israeli genocide was "undercounted" by 41 percent during the first nine months.
"We estimated 64,260 deaths due to traumatic injury during the study period, suggesting the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) under-reported mortality by 41 percent," the study says, adding that about 60 percent of those killed were women, children, and the elderly.
The medical journal reported in June last year that the death toll in Gaza could end up between 149,000 and 598,000 - taking into account direct and indirect deaths."The escalation of Israeli military ground operations and attacks on healthcare facilities severely disrupted the latter's ability to record deaths electronically ... This might have led to incomplete and geographically biased reporting, as seen in other conflict zones where prolonged warfare complicates casualty tracking."
Tuesday's report from AOAV also reveals that civilian casualties from the use of explosive weapons have risen by 1,145 percent compared to 10 years ago. "Explosive violence incidents as a whole were up by 260% compared to 2014, reflecting a global escalation in the use of these weapons in conflict zones," the conflict
Earlier this week, the popular US television news program, CBS News's 60 Minutes, aired a report titled "Across the now-decimated Gaza Strip, America's mark is everywhere," showing footage shot in May showing of US-made ammunition casings
littering the strip.
The report included an interview with former US diplomat Hala Rharrit, who recounted being told not to tell of or show images of slaughtered children by her superiors at the State Department. A short time later, she was informed that her reports on the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza were no longer required.
Israel is facing charges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) of committing
genocide against Palestinians in Gaza in a case backed by over a dozen countries. Top Israeli leaders also face arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court (ICC) for the use of starvation as a weapon of war.

May you all waste away into nothing...
"The medical journal reported in June last year that the death toll in Gaza could end up between 149,000 and 598,000 - taking into account direct and indirect deaths."
I was in a debate recently and had a zionist McGill University Prof. claim, 'no genocide was occurring and that Gaza's population actually increased since Oct 7'....WTF...what kinda fentanyl is that dude smoking ??
Now it is out of our hands - and it is in the hand of higher powers is what I sense - and they have nothing but disdain for the ideology of Israel - a place proven hateful in thought and action - and deserving - most deserving of Justified Retribution.

How do "eye" ken the powers of those higher you inquire - well guess what - fuck you is what they said to me deep in the rabbit hole and I said to them - fuck you squared!
Israel is TOAST.
Nobody will even want to eat them when they are gone - but all will celebrate the DEATH of the bully rogue state evident.
