One Year of Genocide in the Books

PALESTINE - ISRAEL, 14 Oct 2024

8 Oct 2024 – These 25,500 dots represent the over 41,000 Palestinians wiped out by Israel’s relentless assault on Gaza in the past year. Every dot stands for a life erased, a family shattered, in a systematic campaign to destroy an entire people.

It’s been a year since the Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel, and in that time, Israel has responded with the kind of terror force that makes the original attack look like a firecracker. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, as of October 6th, we’re talking about 41,800 dead and nearly 100,000 injured—half of them women and children. The U.N. estimates that 1.9 million people have been displaced in Gaza, which is almost 90% of the population. And 65% of all structures in Gaza—about 163,700 buildings—have been hit. The World Health Organization says over 10,000 bodies are probably still buried under the rubble.

To make things worse, Israel has not just blocked aid but actively destroyed the resources needed to help the wounded. And even though the death toll is already astronomical, plenty of people think these numbers are actually lower than reality.

This isn’t a war, and it’s not “proportional retaliation” either. It’s genocide, plain and simple. Don’t believe it? Listen to Netanyahu and his cabinet’s own words, and scroll through a few IDF TikTok videos and you’ll see all the proof you need.

As long as the U.S. keeps rubber-stamping Israel’s actions, the bloodbath will continue. With Biden, Harris, and even Trump lining up to pledge their support, don’t expect this nightmare to end anytime soon.
