      It has been going on for years. Israel murders as many Palestinians as they think they can get away with.

      I never thought America and Europe and especially Germany would support it so quickly after their “regret” of the first one. But here we are.

        I am interested to see what kind of about-face all the politicians of the world will do when this is over. Will there be strong condemnations and a new “we are the world” song? Will there be crocodile tears and strong cries of “we didn’t know it was this bad”? Will everyone just start pretending the genocide didn’t happen?

        Like, they’ve made it crystal that they’re gonna kill all of em. They won’t stop, that at least is clear. So I’m asking like, how much more nothing will nations do? Will everyone keep tiptoeing around the USs pet nation? Will “genocide denier” come to mean something new?

    The “human animals” were already born inside the concentration camp and starving them to death is a cheaper “Final Solution to the Palestinian problem” than using Zyklon B.

    Apartheid Israel is single-handedly increasing antisemitism. They have now killed more people than in the Bosnian Genocide.

    When’s the world going to sanction them like Russia has been? Hypocrisy of the global north at its best.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Unlike other issues related to Israel’s conduct in its war against Hamas in Gaza, which has claimed more than 30,000 lives and displaced more than 85% of the population amid widespread destruction, the human-made famine occurring in the Palestinian territory appears more straightforward.

    While the question of civilian casualties from specific attacks and from the wider policy of bombing will need to be tested against highly contested notions in international humanitarian law such as proportionality and necessity in conflict, the war crime of starvation is simply and clearly defined.

    Though Israel denies the allegation, the Rome statute of the international criminal court defines it as the crime of intentionally starving civilians by “depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival” including “wilfully impeding relief supplies”.

    Highly technical, often cautious and designed to be neutral in its analysis, the committee – which had already warned of the risk of famine not least in the worst affected region of northern Gaza – has relied on World Food Programme surveys that concludedPalestinians were already facing IPC phase 4 and 5 levels of malnutrition – “emergency” and “catastrophe”.

    Exacerbating Israel’s legal exposure over the issue of starvation are public comments made early in the war by the defence minister, Yoav Gallant, advocating a “complete siege of Gaza” and making clear that he meant: “No electricity, no food, no water.”

    While Israel has allowed a minimum of aid to enter under pressure from the US and wider international community, it has faced repeated complaints, including from Joe Biden, that the quality is insufficient, prompting air drops and attempts to open a sea bridge by other countries.

    Not exactly mysterious, is it? There’s aid trucks. They can’t get in. And when they do, Israel shoots people getting aid.
