As Western media heralds tentative hope in the agreement between
Israel and Hamas to halt Israel’s military campaign and secure the
release of remaining Israeli hostages, the true cost borne by
Palestinians over two years of genocide demands reckoning. In history’s
shadowed corridors, genocides are measured not just by the screams of
the dying, but also by the silence shrouding the dead. For two
relentless years, Since October 8, 2023 (the day after the Hamas attack)
Israel has waged a ruthless campaign of annihilation on the people of
Gaza, a strip of land about half the size of the City of Toronto, and
home to 2.3 million souls (before October 2023).
The “official” death toll, dutifully parroted by Western media, hovers around 67,200
as of October 8, 2025—figures sourced from the Gaza Health Ministry,
dismissed with a casual “Hamas-run” qualifier that implies the number is
a fabrication. However, this number is but a shadow of the truth, a
small fraction of the catastrophe Palestinians in Gaza have endured.
Peer-reviewed studies, epidemiological models, and analyses by experts
who determine casualty numbers in armed conflicts, reveal a toll ten
times greater—680,000 lives extinguished
(mostly women and children)—through bullets, bombs, missiles,
starvation, and the slow rot of disease and untreated wounds. This is
not mere under counting. It is the erasure of an entire people, a
genocide the scale of which rivals the Rwandan slaughter of 1994, where over 800,000 perished in 100 days of genocidal madness.
The thousands of Gaza’s dead, buried under 41 million metric tons of rubble, demand that we confront and acknowledge this reality, an evil unseen since the Holocaust, a calculated extermination of a helpless people that shatters the myth of “international rule of law”, or Israel as a self-proclaimed “moral” nation. The Gaza Health Ministry’s death toll, far from being inflated, is a testament to the suffering of a people that the West seems to want to forget. It tallies only those bodies that reach overwhelmed medical facilities or are reported by grieving relatives—direct deaths from Israeli airstrikes, artillery, and gunfire.
A December 2024 article in British medical journal The Lancet by Johns Hopkins scholars affirmed the accuracy of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers, finding no evidence of exaggeration despite the chaos of a society under siege. The Economist echoed this in May 2024, calling the figures “legitimate” and a floor, not a ceiling, for the number of Palestinian dead. Yet, the Gaza ministry’s ability to accurately count the dead crumbled as Israel pulverized the territory’s 36 hospitals, leaving just a handful of health facilities limping barely able to function on generators. Entire family lines— 902 documented by the Al-Jazeera as of October 2024—were vaporized in Israeli strikes, leaving no survivors to report their deaths or utter their names. Tens of thousands of bodies fester under Gaza’s pulverized buildings, uncounted, as rescuers try to dodge sniper fire to retrieve the ones that are accessible. The Gaza health ministry’s release of a 1,516 page document on March 23, 2025, listing the names of 50,021 victims, with 350 pages of the list children under 16 years old, captures only those that can be identified. In a land where civil records have been destroyed in bombed out administrative and government offices, the nameless multiply into the hundreds of thousands.
To grasp the true magnitude of the carnage inflicted on Gaza, one must look beyond the official numbers. A July 2024 study by The Lancet, determined that after eight months of carnage the death toll could exceed 186,000—7.9% of Gaza’s population. To get to this number the researchers factored in direct deaths from Israeli bombs, missiles and bullets, as well as indirect fatalities from famine, epidemics, and medical collapse. This methodology mirrors accounting from The Holocaust, where deaths from gas chambers and firing squads were tallied alongside those who starved to death or died from disease. By June 2025, Israeli academic Yaakov Garb, analyzing data collected by the Israeli military, released a report published by Harvard’s Dataverse that mapped a demographic void. From a pre-October 2023 population of 2.23 million 377,000 Palestinians vanished—nearly half children—presumed dead, likely lying buried under Gaza’s destroyed buildings or interred in mass graves.
A London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine analysis pegged violent Palestinian deaths at 64,260 by June 2024, 41% above the Gaza health ministry reports, with projections soaring past 70,000 by October. Australian scholars Richard Hil and Gideon Polya, in their July 2025 Arena report, applied conservative ratios from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars—four indirect deaths per direct death—yielding a total of 680,000 dead by April 2025—136,000 from Israel’s military assaults, 544,000 from engineered deprivation. Of these, 479,000 were children, 380,000 under five, their tiny frames succumbing to hunger’s grip. Ha’aretz, Israel’s leading newspaper, cited Michael Spagat, a world-class expert on mortality in violent conflicts, in a June 2025 article, where he estimated nearly 100,000 dead, 56% women and children, outpacing the wars in Kosovo or Syria in civilian casualties.
This under count is no accident. It is complicity in the Gaza genocide. Western outlets, from CNN to BBC to Canada’s CBC and CTV, cling to the Gaza ministry’s conservative 67,200 figure, ignoring The Lancet’s multipliers while amplifying Israeli denials. Ralph Nader, in a scathing letter directed at leading news media platforms and voices in August of this year, lambasted them and pointed out that “. . . unlike other armed conflicts in the world, the vast under count of fatalities and injuries in Gaza is a vastly under reported story.” Israel, like a cornered murderer, has contested every casualty figure, but its own intelligence quietly relies on the ministry’s data.
Gaza is a vast crime scene spanning 365 square kilometres, demanding thousands of investigators to exhume the truth. Yet, Benjamin Netanyahu’s fascist regime bars independent media on the ground to conduct their own investigations, lest the rubble and stories from Palestinians yield evidence for The Hague. This refusal to allow journalists, let alone forensic teams, anthropologists, and war crimes experts into Gaza, is a deliberate act to obscure the scale of the atrocity, ensuring the dead remain voiceless and that the guilty get away with committing genocide.
The echoes of Rwanda resound in Gaza. In 1994, Hutu extremists murdered over 800,000 Tutsis in 100 days, a frenzy that outstripped Gaza’s pace but mirrored its intimacy of horror. Gaza’s toll, at 680,000 over 730 days according to Gil and Polya, nears that neighbourhood, with 28% of its population, the vast majority women and children erased. But Gaza’s genocide is industrialized and militarized, with 2,000-pound bombs regularly dropped on anywhere Gaza’s refugees set up tent camps, Israeli snipers firing indiscriminately on Palestinians lining up for food, with more than 6,100 dead since the beginning of July according to Euromed Human Rights Monitor. The UN’s September 2025 report confirmed that Israeli actions in Gaza meets the Genocide Convention’s criteria—killings, harm, life conditions contrived for destruction, birth prevention via bombed medical clinics. The systematic nature of this violence—targeting hospitals, schools, mosques, and water facilities—reveals an intent not just to kill, but to erase a culture, a history, and the future of a people.
Deeper still, Gaza evokes the Holocaust’s spectral machinery. Six million Jews perished not just in gas chambers but through the Nazis’ “slow death” arsenals—soldiers gunning down families in pits, as Nazi SS death squads did to 1.5 million; starvation in Jewish ghettos, where people withered; diseases rampant in overcrowded concentration camps, claiming 500,000 more. Gaza mirrors this Nazi triad. Israeli troops, following orders from their political and military masters, have gunned down civilians in “safe zones”—over 2,600 slain at aid sites since May. Starvation, declared a weapon by the United Nations-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), has felled 62,000, mostly infants, as 1.8 million face “catastrophic” hunger. Diseases—polio, hepatitis—surge in sewage-flooded ruins, untreated wounds festering with 80% of Gaza’s doctors dead or missing.
Like Auschwitz’s “showers”, Israel’s “humanitarian” corridors funnel desperate Palestinians to slaughter, with 450 killed en route to fortified “aid” choke points, surrounded by military installations set up for surveillance and gunfire. The Holocaust’s evil was bureaucratic banality. Gaza’s is algorithmic, with the use of AI to target “Hamas operations” that are, in truth, schools, health centres, destroyed mosques, and other civilian centres. Both forged death from the mundane—Zyklon B gas used to kill Jews in Nazi death camps, US-supplied bombs and missiles for Palestinian tent camps and “safe zones.”
This level of depravity, unseen since Hitler’s ovens and gas chambers, indicts every cog in the Israeli machine. Israeli leaders—Netanyahu, whose biblical Amalek quote sanctioned genocide; Gallant, architect of the “complete siege”, and every Israeli military leader that followed orders—bear responsibility for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Warrants by the International Criminal Court issued November 2024, demand they spend the rest of their lives inside prison cells. And we can’t forget the soldiers and pilots who pulled the triggers and pressed the buttons that unleashed hell on Palestinian civilians, killing scores at a time in what were supposed to be “safe zones.” The tank gunners who pulverized Jabalia, entombing thousands, the drone operators who picked off children, they are no different than the Nazis who only claimed to be “following orders”—an excuse that the Nuremberg Trials rejected. Every trigger pulled, every sortie flown, was a choice in the chain of extermination. They knew what the laws of war say about attacking civilians but they ignored them. They must face trials, convictions, life imprisonment for their acts of depravity. Not vengeance, but justice, lest impunity breed the next genocidal abyss.
Western refusal to prosecute these criminals would seal this infamy. The US, UK, Germany, Canada—arms pipelines to the genocide—have shielded Israel, caving to the political power of the Zionist lobby, as they funded the bombs and bullets. If genocidal crimes go unpunished because the perpetrator flies the Israeli flag, the “international rules-based order” will crumble and the world will slowly fall into anarchy as leaders with criminal agendas realize there will be no accountability or punishment for any atrocities they may commit. The tribunals at Nuremberg and for Rwanda were born of resolve. Gaza will be the ultimate test that will determine if international law will be bent for Israel, as it has been for decades at the UN by its US patron. Impunity here will invite tomorrow’s criminal leaders and tyrants into a world where might and alliances determines who gets prosecuted for their heinous crimes, and the dead are left to rot where they are buried without seeing justice.
To name the true death toll—680,000 and climbing—is to pierce the veil of Western denial of how acutely horrific Israel’s genocidal crimes are. It demands an accounting not just of the bodies of the dead, but of intent. The deliberate starvation, the so-called “precision” strikes on hospitals and refugee encampments, the blockade choking life from a people, these are all being documented and will go down in the annals of history as an evil equivalent to what the Nazis did during the Holocaust.
Independent investigators must swarm Gaza, sifting the rubble for corpses and DNA, piecing together the stories of the vanished. Without this, the world would be in collusion with Israel’s erasure of Palestinians, burying evidence with the dead. The UN, ICC, ICJ, nations that want to see justice for Palestinians, and global civil society, must break through the barbed wire fences and military perimeter around Gaza, not for reconstruction, but to uncover the truth—a ledger of Palestinian lives that will shame the complicit and galvanize those seeking justice. This is not a call just to record statistics, but for a reckoning that restores the humanity of those reduced to mere numbers quoted in news reports, ensuring that their stories are told and their killers named, shamed, and prosecuted like Nazis were at Nuremberg.
Everyone should also note that this genocide’s architects extend beyond Israel’s borders. Western leaders—US president Joe Biden, UK prime ministers Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer, German Chancellors Olaf Scholz and Friedrich Merz, Canadian leaders Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney—who green lit arms shipments to Israel, attempted to deflect ICC probes, parroted “Israel’s right to self-defence” excuse, while 479,000 children perished, are complicit. They are all accomplices and deserve to face ICC judges. American and British intelligence agencies—CIA and MI6—shared targeting data with Israel, while their corporations, like Lockheed Martin, Allianz and BAE Systems profited from Israel’s blood lust in Gaza. These enablers must face tribunals alongside Netanyahu’s cabinet and his military leaders, charged with aiding and abetting genocide. The Nuremberg precedent holds—those who arm and shield the executioner share in the guilt. Failure to prosecute them would dismantle the legal and moral scaffolding of international law, inviting a free-for-all where power absolves the slaughter of innocents. The complicity of Western capitals, cloaked in diplomatic platitudes, mirrors the silence of those who watched cattle cars filled with innocent people roll to Auschwitz, knowing their ultimate fate.
Acknowledging the actual number of casualties is a call to speak truth to power, seek justice, and a clarion call to humanity to ensure that the truth is not buried. Every Israeli soldier who fired a bullet or tank shell, every pilot who dropped a bomb, every Western official who authorized the arms deals, must stand in the docket at the ICC. This court, born to end the impunity of political leaders and their sycophants, must expand its warrants, hauling in not just commanders but also the foot soldiers and foreign backers who made Gaza a graveyard for almost a third of the Palestinians who use to live there.
If the West shields its allies, it voids the post-World War Two pledge of “Never Again,” already rendered week by two years of ongoing genocide. Gaza’s 680,000 ghosts—children clutching empty bowls, mothers buried with their infants—demand trials that echo Nuremberg’s resolve. Without them, the international legal order is a lie and a hollow promise that gives licence for anarchy to reign where justice fails. The world must act, not with tepid resolutions and weak diplomatic statements, but with resolve to achieve justice for the victims, through the courts that bind the guilty, ensuring that the scale of this horror—680,000 lives, a third of Gaza’s population—ignites a global demand for accountability that no veto or Western political shield can silence.
