There is no one to vote for to help the Palestinians.

The only hope for Gaza is for Biden to change course and use his significant leverage to convince Bibi to end the blockade.

If the status quo of famine is allowed to continue, there will be no Gazans left to bomb when Trump is sworn in on Jan 2025.

30,000 people are dead. Daily death tolls have fallen by 20% per month since the beginning of the war.

How are you getting to 2,300,000 within ten months?

Can you show your work?

People in northern Gaza have described in detail about their decline.

In the first month or two, they ate the remaining food and slaughtered the animals. Then they ate animal feed for months. When that was gone, they ate bird seed. Now with nothing left, they eat grass.

When it's only grass, people start to die. Children and elderly first. And that is the stage of famine we are at now.

People can survive a long time on very low food. But they can't survive forever.

So all 2.3 million people in Gaza ignored the first evacuation orders and warnings and instead of going South, they all went to north Gaza where they proceeded to eat all the food and are now starving to death, and despite only 30,000 deaths in four months, you believe that this month there will be 230,000, and that figure will continue for the next ten months in a row? I don't know sort of seems like you're exaggerating Israel's actions to portray Jews as evil.

If the total death toll doesn't increase by eightfold in the next month will that be sufficient evidence that claims of ethnic cleansing and weaponized starvation are highly exaggerated?
