I was just stating what was said in the article. Yes, it did mention that the 2 agencies had the most direct experience with aid agencies but didn’t expound on it much. I’m not necessarily disagreeing with how you interpreted the article, but ultimately the one dissenting agency backed down for unspecified reasons. Israel is surely blocking some amount of aid because ultimately, large portions of it end up in Hamas hands and not with the people it’s intended for. Unfortunately, it’s not a black and white situation and getting aid to the right people requires some amount of force and effort to remove Hamas, who are the number one obstacle to getting aid to the Palestinians who need it.

Well I think they are only going to destroy lebanon then pack up and go home.

The repercussions there remain to be seen.

we got some direct answers to these questions. lets just say that the assumptions by some people in this thread were wrong.

only the first 2 categories are included in the casualty numbers and that is only if their body parts are taken to a hospital or morgue.

if they go into Lebanon, which is looking more and more likely, they wont leave unless the Liberation forces drive them out. many of their leaders, media, and politicians are openly talking about stealing the South and East and settling it.

So what's the reason for blocking tampons?

War on Gaza: Women cut up tents for period products

why are you citing an article from january is the better question. kind of weird to talk about aid efforts from january when we are currently in september, almost october now.

Dr. Zaher al-Wahaidi: The estimates from the Government Media Office indicate that the number of martyrs is 50,000, as at least 10,000 are still under the rubble. This is the declared number, and there are unreported figures as well.

the declared number is not over 50k. its like 42k. quick google search or just reading mainstream sources will tell you that. it is even mentioned in that article.



reread the article, they keep 2 lists.







regardless, this guy is explicit that none of these groups are on either list





it takes a lot of effort to debunk your blatant misinformation. just linking an article is not enough. I need to screenshot every single point otherwise you will deny it. regardless, now others can see the truth of how meticulous the Health Ministry is and how the reported number of ~42k is a massive undercount.

Take this up with the person from the article? I'm not doubting 42k, and I'm not doubting that 10k is buried, I'm doubting the outrageous opinion piece in the Lancet claiming 186k, and your claims of (if I recall correctly, 500k):

OK?






Yep, looks like I was wrong on a few of those, although several of them do fall into the category of being counted as casualties. Sorry, I can't answer all of your sealioning questions on demand. My overall point still stands: approx 40k dead when we previously discussed it, approx 10k buried. Your source seems to second that opinion, which isn't surprising since he works for the same organization as the person from the last article I posted on the subject. It's almost as if these are numbers directly from the Gaza Ministry of Health:


You were trying to suggest that there's a lot of bodies which the Ministry of Health knew about but could not count in their figures, and that is not the case.


I doubt that there's 450k dead from lack of dialysis, childbirth, or starvation. This isn't meant to discount these issues, it's meant to highlight that realistic and confirmed numbers are better than outright fiction. 200k is outright fiction at this point. 500k...

Thanks for sharing the article, it's good information. It clarifies my main points and also corrects some minor points we had to make assumptions about due to lack of information.

Israel Deliberately Blocked Humanitarian Aid to Gaza, Two Government Bodies Concluded. Antony Blinken Rejected Them.

and then lied to congress about it.



there of course will be zero consequences to doing this genocide and lying to congress about it

1) what is the law? the article doesn’t cite the law

2) it says blocking US-backed humanitarian aid. What does that mean? Did the agencies assess that they blocked US-backed humanitarian aid?

3) are the findings of these reports binding at all? what was in the report?

The article is a poorly written opinion piece, not news.

I am curious. Amongst those who consistently post here in favor or the Palestinians and against Israel:

1) Do you think Israel has the right to exist?
2) If not, what should happen to Israel?
3) If yes, then how would you create peace with those who do not believe Israel has the right to exist (eg, Hamas, Hezbollah)?
