Israel’s genocide of Palestinians is happening beneath a curtain of lies.
Novelist Susan Abulhawa explains that the declared Palestinian death toll (of about 37,000) itself is a deception first because of the manner in which the numbers are calculated, and second, because of the reduced capacity to count death tolls.
First, the only deaths counted, says Abulhawa, are those from “direct fire”. Consequently, those who die from lack of access to medications that would normally treat chronic diseases, those who die from Zionist-imposed starvation and famine, those whom Zionists kidnap, the missing, those buried beneath the rubble, (1) those who die from rampant diseases caused by bombed and impaired infrastructure including water treatment plants, (2) none of these are counted, even as the Zionist siege of Gaza, the Zionist bombing of hospitals and infrastructure, the murder of health care workers, are root causes.
Second, even the limited methodology of counting only those who interface with hospitals is impaired since Zionists have been bombing and destroying hospitals as policy. Not only are they murdering hospital personnel, but computer servers and other instruments of recording deaths are being destroyed.
The real death toll so far from the Zionist extermination campaign, explains Abulhawa, would be 193,000 plus to 514,000 plus.
“Simple math proves,” says Abulhawa, “that Israel’s stated goal (for invasion) is an epic lie.”

She adds that Zionists are “trafficking” children and engaging in illegal organ harvesting (3) as well. These are all too familiar “harvests of war”.
“The pathology (of what is happening) should terrify people,” laments Abulhawa.
