Your numbers ignore the distinction between combatants and civilians killed. It also does not include those who are killed as a by product of the war. The number you mentioned is how many Israel directly killed. This ignores:

* People who died out of starvation (especially kids and newborns) due to Israel's blockade

* People who died due to lack of medicine due to Israel's blockade

* People who died to the worsening hygienic environment

The estimate we have from research in Lancet go just shy of 200,000 people dead [1]. Note that this was their estimate almost a year ago. Since then many more deaths took place.

And in short, whether you want to admit it's a genocide or not, no one can deny it's a one of the greatest tragedies of the century, and that Israel must be held accountable. Enough is enough.
