It almost certainly is. Trump might’ve let it slip when he announced that plan to relocate 1.7 or 1.8 million people out of Gaza when prior to Oct 7 2.2 million people lived there. That’s a difference of 400 to 500 thousand people.
We have to remember whenever we hear this ridiculously low death toll it’s only those that can be confirmed by the health ministry (which has been a priority target for Israel for exactly this reason). People who are vaporized by bombs or buried under tons of rubble aren’t included.
I have no doubt that hundreds of thousands of people have been murdered by Israel since October 7, 2023.
It’s been proven again and again that the only thing that can guarantee a country’s sovereignty is ownership of nuclear weapons (or in specific circumstances an overwhelming conventional deterant like DPRK artillery aimed at Seoul but even that was a stopgap measure). The only way to prevent imperial fuckery in southeast Asia (and elsewhere) is either sponsoring their acquisition of nukes or providing a nuclear umbrella.
