    Depends on if it changes the rate of killing. There’s probably a chart.

    Ironically, in Gaza, Trump actually reduced the rate of killing.

    Lebanese and Iranians probably don’t find that comforting.

        It almost certainly isn’t ‘most’, at least.

        Recent estimates place roughly two million people in the Gaza strip. Gaza health ministry claim ~80,000 direct deaths - some studies suggest more like 100,000. Indirect deaths could be a few fold that. Roughly 100,000 have fled. Obviously, nobody is able to get any accurate population numbers today in there. That top end of that back-of-the-envelope guess would still estimate the death of 25% of Gazans, sickeningly.
