Death Lag Ratio of 10x to 20x means 100,000-200,000 Palestinian deaths in pipeline over next 20 yrs
I simply ask the question:
How many Palestinian people in Gaza that are exposed to toxic air from Israel bombs pulverizing buildings will die over the next 20 years?
What is the Death Lag Ratio (DLR) over 2 decades? Can we estimate it?
Yes, we can calculate it to get a rough estimate since we have lots of data from September 11, 2001.
On that horrible day about 3000 people died. There were many first responders and survivors and others living in NYC that were exposed to the toxic dust clouds from three (3) pulverized buildings.
Since then, over 20 years later over 4500 additional people have died. That’s a DLR of about 1.5 or so, and it is still rising today.
I argue in this video that the DLR is between 10 and 20 for the people in Gaza. So if the massacre of men, woman, kids, and babies in Gaza was stopped today we would have over 10,000 dead (4,000 kids) by the direct bombing.
This DLR means that an additional 100,000 to 200,000 people will die of illnesses directly caused to the Israeli attacks.
Why is DLR much higher for Gaza?
For a variety of reasons:
- 911 was three buildings; Gaza is entire neighbourhoods and an estimated 25% of all buildings in North Gaza; basically many tens of thousands of buildings
- exposure to the toxic air has lasted for 30 days, and is 24-7 in Gaza, for 911 first responders could leave toxic air and go home to rest
- first responders and survivors were adults for 911; for Gaza many people exposed are kids, babies, and the elderly. Lungs are not fully developed in babies or the very young, so exposure to toxic dust is much deadlier; older people are likewise killed from toxic dust at much higher rates
- people in Gaza have been without food, water, fuel, electricity for almost a month; hospitals are not functioning properly, noise from bombs is incessant, and people are worn down and have greatly suppressed immune systems from constant stress; this are much more susceptible to diseases, etc.
Of the 50,000 or so first responders to 911, roughly 4,500 have died in the 20 years since the attack. Call it 10%.
In Gaza, say almost half the population or 1 million people have been exposed. A 10% death rate over 20 years due to inhaling toxic air from pulverized buildings would be 100,000 additional deaths. But, many of those exposed are kids, even babies, and older people (not the case in 911) so we can maybe double the DLR meaning 200,000 additional deaths over 20 years.
Thus, the title of my video.
Please do your own thinking and your own calculations, to come up with your own DLR.
My analysis that I present in this video is my first rough attempt to come up with some numbers.
What I conclude is that for every 1 Palestinian person killed by Israeli bombs on attacks over the last 30 days, roughly 10 to 20 more Palestinian’s will die over the next 20 years from diseases and cancers directly caused by the bombing by Israel, cheered on by U.S. and other Western leaders under the guise of “self-defence” for Israel.
This really is an extermination of a people.
