France 24 Predicts 2025 Gaza Casualties, Ignores 2023-2024 Slaughter
France 24, in a startling display of precognitive journalism, reports that "two years of war" will leave over 67,000 Palestinians dead in Gaza—dated October 8, 2025. One might assume this is a time-traveling dispatch, but more likely, it's a slip of the keyboard, revealing an ongoing casualty count quietly updated for future reference. This accidental peek behind the media curtain shows the
sanitization of ongoing violence by framing it as a future, distant tragedy, rather than an immediate, documented genocide. The media's deliberate omission of historical context is a hallmark. They won't mention that the 'future' 67,000 figure is likely already surpassed, or that UN reports and Palestinian health authorities repeatedly documented more than 37,000 deaths (as of June 2024),
overwhelmingly women and children. Nor will they highlight the staggering 84,000 injured or the 10,000 still missing under rubble. This future-gazing allows outlets to present staggering death tolls as 'news' when they finally acknowledge them, carefully sidestepping accusations of ignoring the current, verifiable slaughter. After all, why report on the present if you can mystify the future?
