    The population of Gaza was about 2 million before the war. So that means that even by a fairly conservative estimate, Israel has killed almost 10% of the people in the last 9 months, and it’s starving the rest while depriving them of water and power. Whatever Israel says its goals are, the facts make clear what it’s actually about.

      This is a slight misinterpretation. The estimate also includes deaths that will occur in the coming months and years because of the war.
