    Here’s the Lancet with a conservative estimate of 186,000 (7.9% of the population) between Oct '23 and May '24, obviously this figure will be higher by now.
    It’s very difficult to count, because non-Palestinian journalists aren’t allowed to enter, and Palestinian journalists aren’t allowed to continue being alive.

    Edit to add, because I just reread this: comparing Jews displaced from Arab countries to Palestinians displaced by Israel is frankly, fucking base racism — simultaneously antisemitic and islamophobic. If I wasn’t so disgusted I’d be impressed.

    You’re entitled to your opinion on the matter of course. And the saddest realisation is that because of the industrial scale of the killings, human lives are a rounding error and we will never know the true number.

    It looks like about 140000 Palestinians killed between 1948 and 2023, with about 40000 more confirmed since 2023. My source is the Palestinian Central Bureau for Statistics.

    In addition to that, millions (yes millions) of Palestinians have been displaced, including two million since 07.10.2023.

    So when op said:

    killing and displacing millions of people.

    They were 100% correct, in fact. There is not a shred of absurdity in this claim, and it can’t be considered misinformation.

    “Palestinians don’t respect other ethnicities or religions” is an example of racism, because it is of the form:

    [Ethnic group/race] [has or displays negative personality trait], without any concessions as to individual choice or action (though you tried to add this in your last comment) and without any evidence.

    Therefore you are saying that people who are simply born Palestinian are somehow less likely than people born elsewhere to display compassion towards other ethnic groups or religions. Since compassion in general is a common human trait, and almost universally held as a positive one, you are dehumanising Palestinians as a whole in this statement, which is clearly also to say, discriminating against them.
    It is the most naked type of racism, down there with ideas like, “the blacks are more violent”, " savage tribals" and the like.
    I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here and I don’t think I can explain this any more clearly: a statement of the form [Ethnic group/race] is [personality trait] is explicitly racist, and that’s the type of statement you have made here.

    (It’s worth pointing out that the word “all” is correctly inferred unless you specify a subset. So where you’ve written “Palestinians”, because of the nature of the English language, that means “all Palestinians” by default.)
