The researchers sought to assess the death toll from Israel’s air and ground campaign in Gaza between October 2023 and the end of June 2024, estimating 64,260 deaths due to traumatic injury during this period
The estimate of 64,000 only accounts for people killed directly by weapons or bombing, similar to the count of ~40,000 that the Gaza Health Ministry was maintaining before they lost the ability to maintain the count.
The estimate of 186,000 from the other study accounts for indirect deaths from destruction of medical facilities, lack of clean water, lack of food, etc., which is a much more important number, but is not receiving as much attention for obvious reasons.
Americans when ~20k people are murdered each year (most of which don't take place on public transit): "The subway is unsafe because there's too much crime."
Americans when ~40k people die in car accidents each year: "This is literally the pinnacle of freedom! I feel so safe inside my personal tank!"

If I had a nickel for every prominent Republican who did something cartoonishly evil relating to pet dogs, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
The difference here is that there previously weren't such restrictions, and she's not even putting up a fight when Republicans actively worsen conditions relative to the previous status quo. Putting up resistance to any attempts to go backwards should be the bare minimum for anyone who claims to be fighting for the rights of a marginalized group.
