Note how "The horrors in Gaza are just one part of Israel’s unified system of controlling Palestinians from the river to the sea"! - FROM:

From which - "It is an elemental law of physics: When you put the contents of a closed system under pressure, you run the risk of explosion. For decades, the equation has been the same: blockade and bombardment in Gaza; more settlement expansion, oppression, and displacement, in the West Bank; disenfranchisement in East Jerusalem & violation of the delicate status quo at the al-Aqsa compound; and the closure of public space to any meaningful dissent in Israel. Israeli scholar Baruch Kimmerling described this as 'politicide' the systematic destruction of a Palestinian political identity and existence. Time after time, in one region or another, separately or in unison, peacefully or lethally .. Palestinians inevitably react. Israel then doubles down on its use of force, and the vicious cycle continues." Also ...

And note: "The dehistoricisation of what is happening helps Israel pursue genocidal policies in Gaza"!

"In the north of Gaza, there is virtually no food available. People are resorting to eating animal feed or bird seed to stay alive. For some, there is only grass left to eat. Doctors have been warning for months that the Israeli military’s five-month long bombardment and siege of Gaza would end in hunger and starvation.

"Today, the UN-backed "Integrated Food Security Phase Classification" - has reported that famine is “imminent” and will take hold in the north of Gaza over the coming two months. Half of the population across Gaza now faces catastrophic levels of hunger, nearly twice as many people as reported in November. Children are already dying of malnutrition and dehydration.

"Meanwhile, Israel's government continues to throttle aid at the border crossing into Gaza while the international community watches on. The tiny amount of aid that is allowed to enter - is either being prevented from getting to people, especially in the north, or is being chaotically distributed - leaving people desperately scrambling for whatever they can get their hands on.

"This is stripping my community of its dignity while leaving the most vulnerable without any help at all. Hundreds of people have even paid with their lives trying to get food for their families.

"The UN has warned that the decline in the population’s nutrition status is at a globally unprecedented rate. And still the world does nothing"! - FROM:

"An entirely human-made tragedy is under way as the world looks on. Israel must open the crossings for aid and aid workers now"!

Children are starving to death.

Is MSM finally getting it? This article/new story in NBC News: "In the ruins of Gaza, children are starving to death and there's no cease-fire in sight."

Or at least, partially getting it?

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-hamas-war-children-starving-famine-warning-death-destruction-rcna141813

And, "Children starve to death in Gaza, WHO says, as ceasefire deal sticking points remain" 'cause, ya know, ya gotta make the kids starve before you can "agree" to anything.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/04/middleeast/gaza-children-dying-malnutrition-israel-ceasefire-talks-intl-hnk/index.html

The absolute brutality of the Israeli state is beyond words at this point. And, the indifference of the West is just as bad.

"On this St. Patrick’s Day in an election year, we are appealing to the conscience of Irish America. We ask Irish Americans in their capacity as citizens, as members of cultural and benevolent societies, as political leaders, to use their influence to avert a Famine as severe as the one faced by their ancestors. To do this it is necessary that the United States ceases arming Israel; that it puts pressure on Israel to halt its military action and lifts its blockade on Gaza; that it refrains from using its veto at the UN security council in relation to Palestine; that it restores funding to UNRWA, the agency best-equipped to provide relief; that it acts as an honest broker to bring about an agreed political settlement between Israel and Palestine."

It's no mystery why the Irish have so much empathy for Palestine. It's because their history of enduring colonialism, imperialism and oppression gives them the knowledge to know and understand what it is the Palestinians have been enduring for 70 plus years.

Now, we're at the crossroads of famine and genocide and to not speak up would be a crime.

"Great Irish Famine historians issue St. Patrick's Day statement on Gaza"

"A group of historians is urging Irish Americans to use their influence to avert a Famine in Gaza as severe as the one faced by their Irish ancestors." Illuminating read and very highly recommended!

Note that: "If new generations are discovering Edward Said, in the process, they’re finding out how the question of Palestine can guide their larger principles. And they are also witnessing the unconscionable. Large scale death from the air, starvation as a weapon of war, the western complicity with the plausible genocide and a people abused beyond what any reasonable person could bear.It’s a lot to digest and it leads to the one lesson about Palestine that no one, not even Edward Said can ever really prepare you for. Palestine will save your soul but it'll also break your heart." THE VERY LAST PARAGRAPH FROM:

On the day when Aaron Bushnell, a young US Air Force serviceman died after he had set himself on fire outside the ISR embassy, as he loudly declared: "FREE PALESTINE!" in Washington DC, in an extreme direct protest action at the ongoing Genocidal Zionist Apartheid Crimes, the Mossad tweeted - "A US Air Force soldier lights himself up on fire to protest Israel. What an idiot"! See more on this tweet:

see - https://killinggaza.com/ documentary film of life under siege by Max Blumenthal. Must Watch Doc.!

"In 'Killing Gaza', independent journalists Max Blumenthal & Dan Cohen documented Israel’s 2014 war on Gaza.

"Yet this film is much more than a documentary about Palestinian resilience and suffering - it is a chilling visual document of war crimes committed by the Israeli military, featuring direct testimony and, evidence from the survivors"!

This is 2+ years old, however its current relevance is clear & helps to give even more historical context!!

Starvation as a weapon of war is absolutely inhumane. There will be no going back, no forgiveness for this behavior by Israel. They should think twice.

"Women, children make up over 70 percent of Palestinians killed in Gaza"!

FROM YOUR LINK, THIS - "Intentionally starving civilians by “depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival, including willfully impeding relief supplies” is a war crime, according to the Rome statute of the international criminal court. Indispensable objects include food, water and shelter,which Israel is now systematically denying Palestinians. Starvation is a war crime under the Geneva conventions and Rome statute. It was also recognized as a war crime &, general violation of international law by the UN security council in 2018."

"Across Gaza, 95% of households are now restricting meals and portion size - with adults going without to feed small children. Yet the little food people do have, lacks essential nutrients needed for humans to grow and thrive physically and cognitively."

NB: "Despite the violence it has unleashed on Palestinians, Israel is failing to achieve its political goals."

"The notion that the war would end if Hamas was overthrown or surrenders is as ahistorical as it is false"

NB "The Grayzone has obtained slides from a confidential Israel lobby presentation based on data from Republican pollster, Frank Luntz. They contain talking points for politicians and public figures seeking to justify Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip."

"Israel is deliberately starving Palestinians, UN rights expert says"

“Intentionally depriving people of food is clearly a war crime. Israel has announced its intention to destroy the Palestinian people, in whole or in part, simply for being Palestinian. In my view as a UN human rights expert, this is now a situation of genocide. This means the state of Israel in its entirety is culpable and should be held accountable – not just individuals or this government or that person.”
