500 days of the Israel-Hamas war, by the numbers.

1. AP news always throwing in nugets for Americans.

   “Started by Hamas”
   “Reported by the Hamas health ministy”

   Weirdly they don’t add “reported by IDF” or “in response to Israelis illegal occupation” when talking about hostages or those killed on Oct 7th. Despite the IDF regualry lying about everything and proof that the IDF used the Hanibal directive and killed many of their own people in October.

2. 160,000 direct casualties is just insane. That alone amounts to roughly 8% of the population being killed or injured and that’s not even counting indirect deaths. The figures I’ve seen for that suggest an additional 40-50,000 deaths occurred that otherwise could have been prevented. That means nearly 4.4% of the population died due to Israeli action with 10% of the population becoming a casualty.

3. It could have easily been 0 days, but Hamas chose to start a war over the well being of their own. They could have accepted a ceasefire sooner and released the hostages, but they kept delaying it until America got a president who threatened to glass them.

   Instead, Gaza has suffered through more than a year of hell, and it’ll likely not end soon. But to Hamas, it was all worth it for just a good day.
