🧵1/2 @ajplus.net Israel has killed more than 67,000 Palestinians in Gaza — but can you grasp what that number really means? From stadiums to cities, here’s the true scale of Gaza’s loss for the 2.3 million Palestinians who have endured two years of genocide.

For 75 years they’ve endured occupation, exile, and erasure.
The genocide we witness today is only the latest chapter—funded by our tax dollars and enabled by silence.

It didn’t begin in 2023. It just became undeniable.

It is a genocide for economic gain - what we call the Genocost. The blood of Congolese people fuels the technology and wealth of the modern world.

We remember Lemera.
We remember every life unjustly taken that day and since.
Silence is complicity.

This massacre marked the beginning of a campaign of extermination, displacement, and sexual violence that continues today.

Since 1996:
- At least 15 million Congolese killed
- 8 million displaced
- Over 2 million women raped
- 1 child raped every 30 minutes

This is not an internal conflict.

We're running another appeal for more period kits, because the team in #Gaza needs more. The team is currently under evacuation and it's absolutely horrendous.

We cannot guarantee that these will be delivered, as it's increasingly difficult to supply goods but when permission...
