About one in every 100 people in Gaza has been killed since the war between Israel and Hamas erupted on October 7, according to Palestinian statistics.
You know, sometimes we tend to blow a 1% change in civilian matters or large populations out of proportion. But let’s be real, that kind of small shift is like a tiny drop in a huge ocean. It doesn’t really shake things up much because there are usually more important factors or trends in the situation that make a way bigger impact.
We might make a big deal out of it, but honestly, it rarely has a significant influence on this war.

That is NOT a small shift. Let’s do some basic math.
In a population of 1 million, 1% is 10,000.
The 2022 population estimate by the US gov is 3 million on the west bank and 2 million on Gaza strip.
So even if we only talk about the Gaza strip, that’s 20,000 Gazans dead.
That’s equivalent to 6.6 9/11 tragedies in the space of 4 months. 9/11 had a fatality rate of 3000-odd.
Add in the west bank and that’s 50,000 dead. In four. Fucking. Months. That is the population of a decent sized city, just gone.
Using the Imperial system is like trying to solve a riddle wrapped in a mystery surrounded by inches and gallons but this is just gold
No its like a drop in a container that can hold a hundred drops.
But instead of drops its friends and families slaughtered
