Gaza Ministry of Health has now released mortality numbers for 2025. For the first time since the war, they give numbers for all deaths, including natural deaths. In 2025 there were a total of 24,650 deaths in Gaza. 18,870 (76.6%) of these were violent, of which 17,286 (70.1%) were due to "war operations" and 1,584 (6.4%) were classified as accidents. There were a total of 5,780 (23.4%) non-violent deaths, including disease, old age, and all other causes. 5,780 deaths is about the same as the annual non-violent mortality in Gaza before the war, and the age distribution is similar to 2022. There is no significant excess of non-violent deaths. In other words, despite frequent and loud claims to the contrary, there seems to be very few indirect deaths due to the war in Gaza in 2025. As there were 50,227 births in 2025, this gives a natural population growth of 25,577 or 1.2% in Gaza in 2025, which is higher population growth than most countries in the world and more than the world average. There are currently ~6,000 births/month in Gaza, per GMH. Assuming a similar number of non-violent deaths in Gaza in 2026 as in 2025, that means there are currently 12x more births than deaths in Gaza, and that Gaza is now experiencing one of the highest population growths in the world.

So firstly, no one has been convicted of genocide. Secondly, McDonalds global didn't give out anything, the local Israeli franchise holder did. Leave the poor social media person alone you cretin. And perhaps focus on UK issues instead of your Israel Derangement

Twice in the last 2 days I've been discussing football. As soon as they look at my profile, figure I'm Jewish, they go straight for Jew hate. Neither were aggressive until that point, but that's all it took to go dark, and one of them to actually threaten me. On a football post.

As a Palestinian living in the US, I realized from day one that far too many of those who claim to be “fighting for Palestinian freedom” in the West are nothing than grifters who exploit our suffering, turn our cause into a trend, and use Palestinian pain to build their own platforms, careers, and audiences. And the moment Palestinians themselves challenge their narrative, criticize Hamas, reject authoritarianism, or refuse to fit neatly into their ideological worldview, suddenly our Palestinian voices are no longer welcome—or worse, we are smeared as traitors for daring to think and speak for ourselves. Here’s what’s never been asked, seriously, inside this so-called “pro-Palestinian” movement: what do you actually stand for? A democratic Palestine? Free speech? Political pluralism? Equal rights? A two-state solution, one state, peace — or just permanent war rebranded as “resistance”? Do Palestinian lives matter when Palestinians are murdered, tortured, imprisoned, or silenced by Hamas? Do our freedoms matter when the oppressor isn’t Israel? Do Palestinians get to decide our own political future, or are Western activists going to decide it for us while shouting slogans thousands of miles away? Palestine is not your revolutionary cosplay. Palestinians are not props for your ideological fantasies. And our suffering is not a career opportunity. If your “solidarity” requires Palestinians to shut up whenever our experiences contradict your politics and narrative, then you are the one who should shut the fuck up.

BRILLIANT 😂

In his own words, senior Hamas terrorist Ghazi Hamad admits: “The recognition of a Palestinian state is one of the fruits of October 7״. Don’t let terror collect its reward.

One of the worst things to happen to the Palestinian cause is the way a single, rigid narrative has been imposed—mostly by people who aren’t even Palestinian. There’s only one "acceptable" way to talk about our struggle, one set of opinions we’re allowed to hold. Step outside of it, and suddenly you’re “less Palestinian,” no longer part of the team. And for many, that narrative isn’t even ours—it’s whatever Al Jazeera decides is the story. Whatever Qatar finds useful. If they say a certain leader or figure is the face of our struggle, we’re expected to idolize them, no questions asked. If they push a certain angle, we’re supposed to absorb it like gospel. The moment you think for yourself, you’re cast out. But our reality is not a propaganda reel. It’s complicated, painful, full of contradictions. And we should be able to talk about that—our own mistakes, our own internal struggles—without being accused of betrayal. A movement that demands blind loyalty instead of honest reflection is doomed to repeat its failures. If your idea of “supporting Palestine” means silencing Palestinians who think critically, then maybe you’re not supporting Palestine at all—you’re just following orders.

Exclusive: Just weeks after @BBCNews is forced to take down a documentary because the narrator was the son of a Hamas official - it completely whitewashes two terrorist families - both tied to key figures in the Islamic Jihad. Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Radical pragmatism: Israel is here to stay; one can't be pro-Palestine and pro-Hamas; The Oslo years were just one short chapter in the pursuit of peace, and the Palestinian Authority does not embody the full potential of nonviolence and reconciliation as a political strategy 🇵🇸

Notice a curious thing: the United States has been bombing Yemen relentlessly for almost a week yet we have only a vague estimate of the casualties. "Dozens dead" and "some women and children." Yet in Gaza, we get exact numbers each evening. Why is that?

‘When we were led into the gas chamber, YOU said nothing. When we were forcibly converted, YOU said nothing. When we were thrown out of a country just for being Jews, YOU said nothing. When we now defend ourselves, all of a sudden, YOU have something to say. How did we take our revenge on the Germans for their Final Solution? How did we take revenge on the Spanish for their Inquisition? How did we take revenge on Islam for being Dhimmis? How did we take revenge on the lies of the Protocols of Zion? We studied our Torah. We innovated in medicine. We innovated in defense systems. We innovated in technology. We innovated in agriculture. We made music. We wrote poetry. We made the desert bloom. We won Nobel prizes. We founded the movie industry. We financed democracy. We fulfilled the word of Hashem by becoming a light unto the Nations of the Earth. So, World, when you criticize us for defending our heritage and our ancestral homeland, we, the Jews of the world, do exactly what you did: we ignore you. You have proven to us for the last 2,000 years that when the chips are down, you don’t care. Now leave us alone and sort out your backyard whilst we continue our 5784-year-old mission, enhancing the world we share.’ -Howard Klineberg, Jerusalem Post February 2, 2015.

I’m not Jewish, but there’s a reason that I’ve risked everything to speak up for the Jewish community. And when I say everything, I mean everything. I mean being blocked by friends that I grew up with, unfollowed by most friends and associates, accused of being a spy for the Mossad, IRGC, CIA etc, having my family accused of the same and having their lives put at risk to the extent of having to contact the FBI, being subjected to unthinkable smears, conspiracies, and rumors that are intended to blacklist me from everywhere and by everyone, but I still speak up despite it all, you know why? Because the same time that Jews had to watch their children being shot and kidnapped on October 7 Is the same time they had to watch half the world protest against the existence of their tiny Jewish state that is their only refuge from global genocide Is the same time they had to watch their friends, associates, celebrities, and the world’s body politic post paragliders in celebration of their massacre Is the same time they had to watch their synagogues go up in flames amid renewed pogroms in Europe Is the same time they had to be banned and blacklisted as persona non gratas of the world by trading the word “Jews” for “Zionists” Is the same time they had to be pushed back by human chains on college campuses and beaten unconscious for defying chants for their death Is the same time they had to watch a mentally ill rapper tell millions of his followers that he loves Hitler and supports the Holocaust Is the same time they had to watch the likes of Dan Bilzerian, Candace Owens, Jake Shields, and the rest of the “woke right” claim “Jewish supremacy” is the world’s biggest problem by citing obscure texts of the Talmud & claiming to “seek truth” while regurgitating antisemitic Soviet disinformation to justify their persecution Is the same time they had to watch the woke left claim that the victims of Islamist extremism deserved the October 7 horrors because their grandparents who fled Nazi Germany back to Palestine in refugee boats were actually “white colonizers” All while the world looks on and glibly asks, “what antisemitism?” That’s why I speak up. The most important thing I’ve realized is that nobody can take from you what doesn’t belong to them. They can silence, intimidate, threaten, and accuse you, but they can never take away the power of your voice when it bellows into the scorched earth the last hopeful, fragmented glimmers of truth. That belongs to you and nobody else, and in our lifetime, it may never be more important than now.

Today, people from Gaza are saying that Trump is right. Watching this video today, it seems as if Trump listens to every demand. One person says, "Trump, please relocate us; I will be the first one to migrate." Please pray for those who appeared in the video, as Hamas might have kidnapped them.

It's just so important to these people that Israel is found guilty of "genocide". "War crimes" would be bad enough (not suggesting they're guilty of this but it's possible) but it seems vital to these people that it's "genocide". Why?

Turkey is bombing native communities inside Syria as we speak, but the world's outrage goes to Israel for securing their buffer zone. This is what we mean by selective outrage and antisemitism.

You don't need a 300-page report to identify a case of genocide. We all know what it looks like. Genocide is walking up to everyone in a specific group and shooting them in the head (or putting them in gas chambers if you're really creative). Genocide is invading villages and massacring entire families. It's kidnapping the men, the elderly, women and children, raping them, holding them hostage, torturing them and killing them while you livestream it from their Facebook for all their family to see. There is no definition of genocide acceptable to common sense which includes passing food to the alleged victims for 14 months while providing them with electricity, water, medical supplies and access to your own world-class hospitals, plus a humanitarian zone and warnings before attacks so they can flee – attacks which are a result of a sadistic war that their leaders started. There is, indeed, an ongoing attempt at genocide and it's exactly what happened on the day of October 7.
