We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.

How do you exterminate an entire population? You can use zyklon B chambers. But inescapable famine works too. Not sure which one stresses the victim out more.

The zylkon B was only needeed because the concentration camp wasn't large enough to slowly starve everyone to death. That would have taken Hitler years. Lucky israel had years of preparation to build a far larger concentration camp than Hitler ever had.

People who "just starve" don't get listed as normal victims of war. And it is a cheaper way to depopulate the Gaza strip. Which suits the Israeli government perfectly.

Defund Israel. Defund genocide.
