- Comment on Lancet study estimates Gaza death toll 40% higher than recorded 1 week ago:
To my understanding, this article is quite misleading. The report that came out yesterday is specifically related to
Traumatic injury mortality in the Gaza Strip - from Oct 2023 to June 2024.
It doesn’t talk about the deaths that do not come from direct violence (famine, thirst, cold, burried in the rubble, disease etc.)
The total death count from the Lancet report of June 2023, was estimated to be much higher.
By June 19, 2024, 37 396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip
Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37 396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza
- Comment on China’s Economy Could Soon Face A Massive Debt Crisis 1 week ago:
every statistic I can find suggests mainland China’s housing prices have been decreasing
After your input, I looked it up a bit more and found stats like the ones you mention (example) but also found others that paint a more complex picture (example 2 - you will need to adjust the timeframe). So not too sure what to make of them at the mo.
The whole reason developers abandoned projects was the projected cost went lower than what they’d spend finishing it.
My understanding is different: it was a ponzy scheme (see article).
Having said the above, I am open to take a closer look at any link you would like to share that clarify or contradict any of the above.

- Comment on Israel army says body of hostage retrieved from Gaza 1 week ago:
According to the Wall Street Journal:
Israel Says Dead Hostage Found Beside the Bodies of His Captors in Gaza
The remains of the hostage, Yosef AlZayadni, 53, were found alongside the bodies of his captors, Israeli military spokesman Nadav Shoshani said.
- Comment on China’s Economy Could Soon Face A Massive Debt Crisis 1 week ago:
I’m sure you’re right about the people you mention, but they are not the ones I had in mind.
So, just to clarify, I was talking about the common people, like the young ones that are mentioned in the relevant article I linked above.
China’s Real Estate Crisis: Why the Younger Generation Is Not Buying Houses Anymore
Between skyrocketing home prices, the housing market debt default crisis, and a shifting culture, China’s younger generation is facing a vastly different housing market than their parents.
- Comment on China’s Economy Could Soon Face A Massive Debt Crisis 1 week ago:
“The end of China’s property bubble is more likely to lead to a slow grind downwards rather than a sudden collapse,”
I suppose this is a possibility. For many years now western media have been talking about a lehman brothers moment but the liquidation of Evergrande in January 2024 - to my understanding - didn’t create this effect on the markets.
For people, the results of this real estate crisis are devastating, regardless. (relevant article)
- Comment on The global outrage machine skips the Uyghurs: China grandstands about Gaza while repressing a Muslim community within its own borders, but hardly anyone seems to notice 1 week ago:
Yes, that’s more or less my understanding as well.
Also, I’d like to add a part of a transcript of a podcast that talks both about Gaza and Sudan in an honest way, to contrast to the take of the posted article.
Breaking Down Sudan’s Struggle: What the World Is Missing
I mean, the war in Sudan precedes the genocide in Gaza by six months, and we didn’t get much coverage then. I think in fact, the movement in solidarity with Palestinians has opened up the space for people to want to know more about Sudan.
- Comment on The global outrage machine skips the Uyghurs: China grandstands about Gaza while repressing a Muslim community within its own borders, but hardly anyone seems to notice 1 week ago:
Israel was formed by Jews who saw the region as their historical homeland and who were fleeing persecution, pogroms, and the Holocaust in Europe, and persecution throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
Nope. Israel was formed by Zionists, and Zionism has been criticized by Jews since it’s inception.
Please see:
Jewish Voice for Peace - Our Approach to Zionism
Jewish Voice for Peace is guided by a vision of justice, equality and freedom for all people. We unequivocally oppose Zionism because it is counter to those ideals.
