Israel is starving 2.3 million people.
Read it again. Let it sink in. Don't look away.
Israel is starving 2.3 million people.
How many Israeli lives are worth starving 2.3 million people? What's the math that makes this OK?
This has nothing to do with Hamas. It has nothing to do with the hostages. It has to do with Starving. Two. Million. People.
If you can't acknowledge this, then Hamas isn't the monster, you are.

At least 19,424 children have been killed in Israeli attacks over 700 days of genocide in Gaza, the equivalent of one child every 52 minutes.
Among the victims are 1,000 infants under the age of one.
As relentless Israeli bombardment, forced displacement, and #starvation continue, warnings grow louder: nowhere in the enclave is safe for children.
“Gaza is becoming a graveyard for children,” said #UN Secretary-General António Guterres as early as November 6, 2023.
According to the latest death toll update by the Palestinian Health Ministry, children in Gaza account for more than 30 percent of the deaths as Israel’s #genocide entered its 700th day on Friday.
“Consider that for a moment. A whole classroom of children was killed, every day for nearly two years,” #UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell told the UN Security Council. https://qudsnen.co/?p=64342

Regular reminder:
In 1948, the European Jewish community brought by Britain to Palestine began a series of massacres to expel Palestinians.
By April, they'd expelled 150k Palestinians; 250k by May 15, when Arab nations came to save them.
"Half of Palestine's population was expelled, half of Palestine's villages demolished, & most of the Palestinian towns wiped out"

"One metric used by the IPC to measure acute malnutrition is the mid-upper-arm circumference of children under five. By this measure some 15% of children in the governorate of Gaza are acutely malnourished, a level consistent with the IPC’s definition of phase four (an emergency) and phase five (a famine). This percentage has doubled every four weeks over the past three months. If current trends continue, more than half of children there could be acutely malnourished by the end of September.
The declaration of famine will probably change little on the ground. The food flowing into Gaza is far less than what is needed. Domestic production has collapsed. More than 98% of cropland is damaged or inaccessible. Only 26% of sheep, 34% of goats, 4% of cattle and 1% of poultry have survived the war. Fishing has ceased under Israeli restrictions. Food prices are ruinous: in July they rose by another 25%, pushing the cost of staples to nearly 100 times their level during a February ceasefire and 150 times their pre-war level. It does not help that there is little fuel or clean water with which to cook. A catastrophic situation is getting worse by the day."

"There is something crazy-making about all of this: the posture of ingenuous lament by the engineers of our predicament. One wonders if this moral wakefulness is merely prelude to another nightmare. On August 8, Netanyahu’s government approved a plan to expand the war by taking control of Gaza City — ignoring the advice of its own military. As Yezid Sayigh, a Palestinian analyst in Beirut, told the London Review of Books, Israel’s leaders have cornered themselves. The civilian population in Gaza remains the principal obstacle to the colonization of Greater Israel: “Israel has set itself on a trajectory for which it has no solutions other than a final solution.”
If Israel is on the precipice of all-out ethnic cleansing, the moral plaints of western leaders appear to be late petitions for their own innocence. “People want to look like they were on the right side of history,” said Wertheim, “just before a new threshold is crossed.”
In the first week of August, Anthony Aguilar, a retired Green Beret who has said he witnessed the IDF using “indiscriminate and unnecessary force” against starving civilians in Gaza, predicted it would be “days, not months,” before Americans have a truer sense of the devastation there: “It’s going to bring the world to its knees.” It seems western leaders have summoned precisely enough political will to fail to stop a world-historic crime.
Is it actually too late? El Akkad said that of course it is and, at the same time, “there is no such thing as too late.” Despair is no use to the living."

On Sunday, Israel’s far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the hotly contested holy site, and declared, “We are relaying a message that from today on, we are conquering the entire Gaza Strip, announcing our sovereignty on the entire Gaza Strip, taking down every Hamas member, and encouraging voluntary emigration”—his preferred euphemism for ethnic cleansing.
