“Fake but accurate.”
I’d like to know how Palestine can be a state if a state doesn’t exist yet. The dumb bass turds can’t even feed their own people. They’re going to have to come begging to the west for something to eat and drink. Another Freeloader state.
Beggars with attitude.
Feed us, or we’ll blow you up.
Numerous organizations and reports indicate that Israel is starving Gazans, primarily through its blockade and restrictions on humanitarian aid entering and distributing within the Gaza Strip.
Key points often cited in this context include:
<><>Blockade and restrictions: After the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas, Israel imposed a “complete siege” on Gaza, halting the supply of electricity, food, water, and fuel. Subsequent restrictions on aid entry and movement continue to significantly limit access to essential supplies, leading to severe food shortages and a dire humanitarian situation.
<><>Impact on civilians: Reports detail the catastrophic impact on the civilian population, including widespread food insecurity, rising rates of acute malnutrition among children, and hunger-related deaths. Some reports even describe children dying from starvation.
<><>Controversy over intent: While human rights groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch allege that Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war and imposing collective punishment, Israel denies these claims. Israel states that its actions are necessary for security to prevent Hamas from diverting resources and that it aims to increase aid flow to civilians while continuing its fight against Hamas.
<><>Difficulty in aid distribution: Even when aid is allowed into Gaza, distribution is hindered by ongoing conflict, security concerns, damage to infrastructure, and the challenges faced by humanitarian organizations operating in the territory.
<><>Disputes over aid delivery methods: Israel’s efforts to establish alternative aid delivery mechanisms, such as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), have been met with criticism from UN officials and NGOs who argue that such efforts are ineffective, potentially dangerous, and undermine the impartiality of humanitarian aid.

The New York Times issued an editor’s note clarifying information in a story about starving Gazans that featured a photo of a child, Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq.
The New York Times later added that Mohammed’s condition worsened due to the scarcity of food and medical care in the area.
The note clarified that Mohammed also suffered from pre-existing health problems, a detail not included in the initial article. The New York Times stated that had they known this information before publication, it would have been included.

The New York Times later added that Mohammed’s condition worsened due to the scarcity of food and medical care in the area.
The correction came after criticism that the article presented an incomplete picture by not mentioning the child’s pre-existing conditions.

NYT Editors Knew That Its Story of Israel Intentionally Starving Gazans Was Incomplete.”
Starvation exacerbates existing health problems in children.
The New York Times later added that the boy’s existing condition worsened due to Israel’s military orders fomenting the scarcity of food and medical care in the area.
The New York Times has reported on situations where the existing condition of a child worsened due to the scarcity of food and medical care Gaza.
The NYT reports emphasize the devastating impact of food and medical care scarcity on the health and lives of vulnerable populations due to Israel’s enforced military actions.
These include:
Malnutrition and Illness: Individuals, including young children and those with pre-existing conditions, are suffering from severe malnutrition, leading to exacerbated illnesses and even death.
Strain on Healthcare: Hospitals, already damaged by the Israeli conflict, are struggling to cope with the influx of patients weakened by hunger, and medical staff are facing exhaustion and collapsing due to lack of food, according to The New York Times.
The Times has detailed cases like a 4-month-old who died of severe malnutrition, born without serious health issues, but whose condition deteriorated due to the mother’s inability to produce enough milk and the family’s inability to afford formula.
Diabetes and Malnutrition: For diabetics in Gaza, the lack of food, especially crucial items like sugar, is making it difficult to control the disease, potentially leading to dangerous complications.
NYT reports Oxygen Shortages: Beyond food, the Times also reported on an invisible medical shortage of oxygen in low- and middle-income areas.
These NYT reports reinforce and emphasize the devastating impact of food and medical care scarcity on the health and lives of vulnerable populations due to Israel’s enforced military actions.
Starving poor PLO/Jihadi/HAMAS/Nukba/terrorist supporting masses of insane humanity are lacking nutrition?
Why not break into the storage tunnels of HAMAS and get the food there?
HAMAS is starving and killing their own people for just one reason and one reason only - to make Israel look bad.
These scum hoard the food away from their own people, then sell it at exorbitant prices.
Look at all the videos. Do you see ANY thin men? I mean really starving thin? No.
What do you see?
The intentional starving and beatings by the HAMAS animals to their kidnapped Jewish prisoners is horrendous. Where is the Red cross. UNWRA, UN and a host of other so-called “Human Rights” organizations? Oh, I forgot, they’re Jews who are suffering...nevermind.
Who starves and abuses hostages? Who rapes, mutilates, burns, beheads, tortures and even uses dead bodies (they killed) as a bargaining chip? Who?

American politicians have long regarded Washington’s relationship with wealthy, high income, exporter to the world Israel———vis a vis $$billions of tax dollars in annual US military assistance, and numerous other billions is assistance categories-——as a “third rail of foreign policy.”
Part of establishing a reputation as a “pro-Israel US president” means stepping in when necessary to save Israel’s posterior, a senior adviser to former president Joe Biden noted. Boden blanketed Israel with tens of billions in excess of its $5 billion annual allotment (it was, after all, an election year).
Looking at the totality of Netanyahu’s bombing campaigns in the region, Israel looks like it’s decidedly out of control and needs an American intervention and stop button.
Trump’s famous remarks about “starvation in Gaza” might be an attempt at pressing that button.
Israeli prime minister Netanyahu is incommunicado ...... did not respond to requests for comment for fear of an interruption of billions in tax dollars.
One White House official was cued to say there’s no “wedge” between the US and Israeli leaders. “The president is moved by the suffering he sees with his own eyes. He doesn’t like to see suffering.”
Sucker
Lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene described the crisis in Gaza as a “genocide” and has proposed legislation to block aid to Israel. Polls suggest many young students now have a negative opinion of Netanyahu. The ceaseless college demonstration show people are starting to hate Israel.
Candace Owens was labeled a “dreaded anti-semite” for innocently asking, ‘What is this unique, strange, disgusting, perverse relationship that we seem to have with Israel?’ Owens is a popular podcaster and is now stuck with being forever labeled “ a proponent of antisemitic conspiracy theories.”
For Netanyahu, Israel’s bombings caused the dramatic weakening of regional adversaries ....Israel’s post-October 7 military campaigns has created a canvas of opportunity.
Israel would like to be a regional hegemon. But they know they cannot be a regional hegemon without US billions. But they push it as far as they can go........ with no one daring to stop them.
A Middle East analyst cued by Israel to say “Israeli government officials see the writing on the wall” and sent out a warning that “the blank checks it gets might not last.”
The New York Times published a clarification of its Gaza starvation story, adding that the starving boy’s condition worsened due to the scarcity of food and medical care in the area caused by Israeli bombings.
The NYT correction came after criticism by obsessed Israeli worshippers that the article presented an “incomplete picture” by not mentioning the insignificant fact that a dying child’s pre-existing conditions was exacerbated by starvation.
Every now and then there is a live Cam set up in Gaza near the hospital. I have never seen a starving person there. It’s pretty busy people going about their business.
Since you persist posting once-sided reports from liberals, I will post part of my previous copy and paste post:
Aid should get to Gaza - and as under from Israel's protection Palestine once had a problem with the prevalence of obesity and overweight in being high compared with those of some other developing nations - but the Israeli animus and problem is that of HAMAS, which the people supported, yet whose intent it to destroy Israel.

Support for the two-state solution remains unchanged but support for armed struggle drops
Are you an Anti-Israel Troll who hacked into a dormant Free Republic account?
I checked your FR Archive and noticed that you suddenly stopped posting articles in April 2022 - forty months ago.
I also noticed that you rarely posted about Israel between 2000-2022, and when you did post about Israel, your articles were quite supportive.
That record stands in sharp contrast to the thousands of intensely critical comments you have made about Israel, just within the last year.
Can you explain this radical change in your perspective?
The NYT telling lies again who.could have guessed they would joyfully be anti semitic Jew baiters.
It wasn't merely deceptive, it was a deliberate lie. BTW, what are the NY Slimes' FR nicks?
Easy to lie to the old Gray Whore - she feeds on the lies to push chaos and misery... Potemkin Villages anyone?
