  1. This is the first genocide that has ever been livestreamed, and it’s not even an exaggeration at this point. The only piece that is missing on the question of Israel committing a genocide is whether rhetoric and plans by the Israeli government, which has espoused genocidal rhetoric numerous times, have influenced the way the IDF is operating in Gaza, which is already indistinguishable from committing genocide.

  2. The current claim from the Hamas run GMoH is that about 100 people have died from food insecurity.

    For perspective, an estimated 40,000 people have died from famine alone in Yemen.

    I’m not dismissing that obviously there is horrific suffering in Gaza – war zones are always terrible.

    But which of these two “famines” have been made to appear worse in the media, by politicians, and on social media?

    How is it possible that they could be so much more outraged, so much more concerned, about a “famine” that has killed 100 people in 2 years compared to a famine that killed 40,000 right next door?

    What possible explanation for that is there besides they’re being an extremely skewed way in which this conflict is presented relative to other conflicts?

  3. I mean this was what was going to happen when people thought Trump and Biden were the same on the issue. When you read the Woodward leaks, it is clear that Biden practically had to debate for hours on end to get Netanyahu to open the gates for us to push in aid….

  4. If people want to know why this isn’t be taken seriously, its because sense February of 2024 there has been talk of starvation and famine that was never actually true. There was a constant report of a threat of a famine, but it never materialized but the talking point stuck for 18 months, despite there being no truth to it.

    Now that there is credible and factual evidence of malnutrition and starvation potentially happening, many simply either don’t believe it or don’t care because the boy who cried wolf has cried too many times.
