According to the Gaza Health Ministry, 21 people in Gaza ranging from 1 day to 72 years old have died from malnutrition and dehydration. However, the humanitarian group Defense for Children International - Palestine (DCIP) warned that “the true death toll due to starvation is feared to be much higher as many Palestinians, particularly in northern Gaza, face famine and are almost entirely cut off from the limited humanitarian aid entering Gaza through the southern Rafah crossing.”

United Nations, Palestinian, and humanitarian officials have called Israel’s deliberate starvation of Palestinians a key component of the genocide in Gaza, while limited aid airdrops by Jordan and the United States have been described as woefully inadequate and a “theater of cruelty.”

    They don’t even try to pretend to care that innocent children are starving to death

      WDYM? They care, they are ecstatic about it. The citizens are even helping block the aid.

        I’m not anti-Semitic but I’m definitely becoming extremely anti-Israel.

          Being anti-israel is the most pro-Jewish stance anyone can have.

          That’s why they work so hard to equate any Isreali criticism as being anti Semitic

          Semitic is race. Judaism is a religion. Religion is a cultural phenomenon. Zionism is intrinsically linked to the religion and historically has been an incredibly fanatic cult very willing to do anything to reach their final goals. I think hatred of this is far removed from any kind of racism.

          E: and the conflation of Zionism with Judaism is something I see consistently coming from zionists, so it being being deemed a trait of anti Semitism doesn’t make sense to me for several reasons. I’m an atheist though so generally have no respect for fairytales that send people psychotic…
