Given a population of 2.2 million, one in 10,000 would equal 220 persons. If more than 2 per 10,000 died daily, that would imply at least three. That figure would yield a death toll of 660 per day dying of starvation. That death toll would equal 19,800 per month.

Past and present but seemingly now more than ever, with the Palestine-Israel conflict there has been widespread partisanship via Internet and news commentary. The politics of polarization outside of Israel and even the Middle East, perhaps in part for its own sake, has gotten quite disturbing.
Within social media especially, the angry and thoughtless two-dimensional views are especially amplified, including the majority posted by non-Jews and non-Palestinians.
It arouses a spectator-sport effect or mentality, with many contemptible trolls residing well outside the region yet actively supporting the ‘side’ [via politicized commentary posts] that they hate less. I anticipate many actually keep track of the bloody match by checking the day’s-end death-toll score, however extremely lopsided those numbers.
Additionally concerning about all of the highly publicized two-way partisan exchanges of fury is: what will young non-Israeli Jewish, and Palestinian, children living abroad think and feel if/when they hear such misdirected vile hatred towards their fundamental identity? Scary is the real possibility that such public outpour of blind hatred may lead some young children to feel misplaced shame in their heritage.
