In response to Gaza’s true death toll could be 126,000 or even higher

A wedding and innumerable funerals

Brad Reed’s article is yet another exposition of the staggering slaughter of Palestinians by the actions of the genocidal Zionist forces – the Israeli government, the IDF, the Settlers. The estimated ‘body count’ is nearly twice that officially reported by Palestinian sources – and likely to be a massively conservative reckoning of the holocaust that the Zionists have wrought upon the Palestinians.

In September, IDF commander Herzi Halevi confirmed “over 200,000 Gaza casualties” since October 7 2003. “We took the gloves off,” he said – insinuating that previously the Zionist forces had been restrained! Restraint such as that the over 400 breaches of the ‘Trump ceasefire’? Even when we are confronted with direct video evidence of point-blank murder by IDF soldiers?

There has been not one word of condemnation by our government of Israeli genocidal activities since the ‘Trump ceasefire’ commenced. Accusations of HAMAS breaches in non-specific terms, yes - just assertion that the Palestinian side of the equation is the progenitor of all evil.

Our PM has just been married – all Australians would wish the couple a happy future.

It would be justice if our PM could find the grace and courage to properly support a future for Palestinians.
