For anyone who doesn't want to read the article, the 186,000 figure is the best estimate of the totality of death caused by the war, including as of yet unrecovered bodies from rubble, deaths due to diseases brought about by the conflict, etc. They estimate for every confirmed fatality, there could be up to 3 or more fatalities of the types previously described.
The population of Gaza was about 2 million before the war. So that means that even by a fairly conservative estimate, Israel has killed almost 10% of the people in the last 9 months, and it's starving the rest while depriving them of water and power. Whatever Israel says its goals are, the facts make clear what it's actually about.
I'm sure this will solve the conflict. Nothing bad will ever come from this in the future I'm sure. The Palestinians will swiftly put this behind them forever because who ever thinks of what happened in the past?
