    But don’t worry, the US has also sent 2500 (3.8 mil lbs) bombs to finish the job.

    Can’t have a famine if there’s no people amirite

    While we can say with confidence that famine is a significant risk in the south and centre but not present, in the north, it is both a risk and quite possibly is present in at least some areas

    I’m not a doctor or anything but based on the picture in the article alone isn’t “quite possibly” really underselling it?

    News: at least 20 people have already died from malnutrition

    US: Hmm yeah could be a famine there, not sure. Hard to tell.

        Right? Israel straight up announced it would keep Palestinians out of the port. To secure aid that was already vetted in Cyprus. There is no reason for that unless they’re planning to block delivery.

          It’s because the port is a forward operating base and entrenches the annexation of Northern Gaza. They built a road splitting Gaza into two and are shooting anyone who approaches it. Add to that the US wants warships present to defend the oilfields it’s just been liscenced by the occupation forces.

          This is, and always was, about money and ethnic cleansing. Fuck israel, free Palestine.

      Note this pic I’m posting stops before the 2023 event and all that has come since, so you can just mentally tack that on. Absolutely tragic. I can’t imagine why they and their parents might be inclined not to trust Israel or Israeli colonizers.

      Edit: Updated, higher resolution graphic, and link to source if you’d like to see it with less jpg.

    ICJ order from yesterday sure showing off what their amazing power stands for. The “world order” everyone.

    At least we now know that the Genocide verdict israel will receive in the future is worthless as well since everyone just ignores the ICJ. International Court of Jokes.

    Probably. It’s not yet and hasn’t been for the last 20 years that we have been saying maybe but it’s closer now than ever.

    There’s famine in New York, somewhere, probably. How easy it is to be a reporter these days?
