Gaza's civilian toll deliberate?

August 25, 2025

The overwhelmingly obvious question regarding these appalling statistics is whether it is deliberate or collateral damage as the Israelis claim. The best comparison is with the civilian death toll in the USSR in World War II, which was an intentional act to create “lebensraum” in the East for the German people. In total, 27 million people were killed in the USSR by Germany; of those nine million were military casualties and 18 million were civilians. That means two-thirds of those killed were civilians from a deliberate campaign of genocide against civilians.

The Nazi war machine was an elaborately constructed killing machine intended to wipe out large parts of the civilian population of various countries on the European land mass, and yet it failed signally to reach anything like the proportion of civilian deaths as that achieved by the even more depraved Zionist state.

To continue to suggest, as Israel does every day, that the civilian deaths are an unfortunate side-effect of their war on an imprisoned and helpless civilian population demonstrates that Zionism is an even more iniquitous political ideology than the political ideology regarded as the most barbarous in history. Governments of the West currently support it!
