That is NOT a small shift. Let's do some basic math.

In a population of 1 million, 1% is 10,000.

The 2022 population estimate by the US gov is 3 million on the west bank and 2 million on Gaza strip.

So even if we only talk about the Gaza strip, that's 20,000 Gazans dead.

That's equivalent to 6.6 9/11 tragedies in the space of 4 months. 9/11 had a fatality rate of 3000-odd.

Add in the west bank and that's 50,000 dead. In four. Fucking. Months. That is the population of a decent sized city, just gone.
