CBC says killing of 22,600 Palestinians doesn’t merit terms ‘murderous,’ ‘brutal’
In response to complaints about its coverage, CBC says Israeli state violence is different than Hamas’ violence because the killing of Palestinians happens “remotely”

That's 1.1% of Gaza's population killed in just 3 month!
Israel has killed more civilians in 2 months than Russia has killed in 2 years.
Let that sink in.
I think worse is all the killings happening that barely get reported at all.
Sudan? Hundreds of thousands of deaths. Bunch of black people killing other black people. No clicks or views in that. Ongoing, incidentally.
Jews and Muslims killing each other? Everyone seems to love picking a side there.
I agree. The Western world could actually help innocent people in these regions, but have convinced themselves that "browns need to solve their own problems."
"But Hamas" - Israel
We're gonna find more than that died due to the nightmarish health and sanitation conditions caused by. IDF bombing hospitals, if what I've heard about the outbreak of dysentery and hepatitis is right.
The 22,600 figure is most likely a severe underestimate of the people murdered by occupation forces in Gaza (and elsewhere, because they've been murdering people in the West Bank and Lebanon as well). I shared this in another comment but The Lancet published this which determined there was no evidence that the Gaza Ministry of Health is inflating these statistics, if anything they are being under reported.
As for how many are "actual civilians" the way that is being reported currently heavily favors the narrative of the occupation because the assumption is simply that all males over the age of 13 are combatants, and even using this absurd framing around 61% of those killed are women and children. The occupation forces have proportionately killed more journalists and UN aid workers than in any other conflict in recent history.
History will judge Israel and its supporters harshly.
It's 2 million according to this: https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/gaza-strip/
