news@hexbear.net•Gaza death toll 40% higher than official number, Lancet study findsEnglish
27·2 years agoThe researchers sought to assess the death toll from Israel’s air and ground campaign in Gaza between October 2023 and the end of June 2024, estimating 64,260 deaths due to traumatic injury during this period
The estimate of 64,000 only accounts for people killed directly by weapons or bombing, similar to the count of ~40,000 that the Gaza Health Ministry was maintaining before they lost the ability to maintain the count.
The estimate of 186,000 from the other study accounts for indirect deaths from destruction of medical facilities, lack of clean water, lack of food, etc., which is a much more important number, but is not receiving as much attention for obvious reasons.

You live in the country that probably manufactured them in the first place. You can buy a knock-off which is just as good for a fraction of the cost.

Chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•US house passes bill that changes the definition of anti-Semitism to include criticism of IsraelEnglish
1·2 years agoIn the House on Tuesday morning, the Illinois Republican Mary E Miller acted as speaker pro tempore to oversee debate on the Republican antisemitism awareness bill.
As a choice, it was not without irony. Miller made headlines in 2021, when as a newly elected member of Congress she was forced to apologise after saying in a speech at the Capitol: “Hitler was right on one thing. He said, ‘Whoever has the youth has the future.’ Our children are being propagandised.”
So basically the entire US political establishment has decided that saying “Hitler was right” and echoing conspiracy theories of Jewish Marxists corrupting the youth is just a “difference in opinion” whereas pro-Palestinian activists should be shut down without debate.

1·3 years agoI am certainly no fan of George W Bush, but what I’m saying is that every single sensible person that can come out against this orange nutboy, the better. Even if 1,000 people who thought George W bush was awesome reconsiders their vote, it’s a good thing.
Hey, you guys have been doing great with Arab and Muslim voters recently, right? I’m sure that more than 1,000 of them would change their vote after seeing you be friendly with Bush. Surely nobody would finally come to realize that Democrats really stand for nothing after seeing that.
