I have no words.

@Alltheprettyseahorses I am not a statistician, but the graph shows a decline in population increase in 2023-4, and a steadily decreasing fertility rate. I'm not sure it is easy to interpret the data quite so simply as the population increasing. As others have said, it is not specifically related to Gaza, either.

The Yearly Population Growth Rate chart plots the annual percentage changes in population registered on July 1 of each year, from 1951 to 2023. This value can differ from the Yearly % Change shown in the historical table, which shows the last year equivalent percentage change assuming homogeneous change in the preceding five year period.

To explain that simply for you, it's an algorithm populating a percentage based on previous year figure so taking into account no actual news, deaths, recorded events etc at all over the last year. Its also based on UN figures so therefore you trust UN figures and we can agree with them on the verified deaths in Gaza, yes or no?

I mean moved away from the war zone. I find the use of the terms 'genocide' and 'ethnically cleansed' very offensive considering the far worse wars and terrible atrocities going on right now.

Where to? They're all displaced in Gaza and the entire country including humanitarian safe zones that Israel has instructed people to go to have been bombed. People are begging for injured children to be evacuated and being refused so please do tell where you believe people are being "evacuated" to?

Verified or Hamas estimated? Myself, I'm just glad there isn't a genocide and people are alive.

Imagine. You're more offended by something naming it than the fact that it's happening.

I don't know why Egypt or Jordan or other surrounding countries aren't taking refugees. Ask them.

It isn't happening. That's a good thing. Or at least I think it's a good thing.

Who has said that the amount of kids killed is lower than expected ?

Don’t forget Israel. Israel could host them as well

Verified

Or at least stop slaughtering them.

A little over 8000? I'd imagine there are more than that but I will join you in hoping the verified numbers are correct.

Now this is odd. Why on earth would a country at war take in refugees from the aggressor? Should Ukraine take in Russian refugees? The security risks are astonishing.

They’re happy to take their land… maybe they can use this land to accommodate the innocent civilians?

They are what has been verified so far, they are still working through. Most bodies are also still under the rubble as well. If Israel weren't denying access to independent journalists and assessor's this would all be done much more quickly.
Genuine question - do you believe genocide is defined by numbers?

@ConstanceM a dose of reality might do you some good. Israel has committed war crime after war crime and stand accused of "the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts”.

If you mean the West Bank, that was Jordanian terroritory lost in the Six Day War. Not Palestine. Israel withdrew from Gaza nearly 20 years ago.

Sorry that was to @Alltheprettyseahorses.

Genocide is a serious atrocity. There have been claims of it against Israel for decades. It hasn't happened. I'm glad it hasn't happened.

theyre taking over land from north Gaza as well. Also they’re taking over land in West Bank. In 2024.

do you have a link to source that verifies this? Thanks

That's not an answer to my question - do you believe genocides are defined by numbers?

Given there is reasonable legal proof of the risk of genocide in Gaza, combined with the accusations of crimes against humanity, mass starvation, war crimes etc, you are very confident. Still haven't provided us with any of the sources for your opinions though...

@Alltheprettyseahorses as a summary can you provide links that verify that
there is no genocide happening
thaf the number of killed children is lower than expected.

thanks

For as long as there have been genocides there have been genocide deniers.

There's no logic to it, clearly. Some people just feel that certain groups aren't entitled to human rights.
