It is such an unnecessary tragedy created by Netanyahu's fear of going to jail for corruption. He is as cruel as the 34xfelon/sexual predator heading the US govt.
Genicide is a human (almost exclusively male) activity persued by all forms of government throughout history to establish absolute control over territory and peoples. It’s just what some people (men) do. Unfortunately, most of the rest of us are too willing to let them.
Of course, it's all Israel's fault, which logically (?) results in claims of "genocide" (which were being made long before hunger was so rampant). But the UN's own information supports what Israel has been saying for over a year--that food distribution by the UN has been thwarted primarily by Hamas. But of course, this information isn't being reported, much less investigated. https://x.com/DavidMakovsky/status/1950541391114739857
In Israel, anti-semitism is the scoundrel's last refuge.
Of course, it's not true- someone can disagree strongly with Israel and not be anti-semitic, but for years it formed a convenient distraction for the scoundrel Netanyahu. But the dodge has long-ago worn thin
Thanks for the excellent reporting on this. This is just been a travesty by both parties both by and Anne Trump from the United States and we are being run around by evangelical so I want to get to end days rather than taking care of really being alive right now. Israel is committing a holocaust in Gaza. They spent a year burning children to death with bunker bomb bomb, shooting people in another area for no reason terrorizing his population, children almost and discriminate and it was discriminately. It was to shoot them out before they complete their holocaust and they need to be at the end of this is now 100% I cannot see Germany and I need restructure observation for decades like this.
A shameful article, euphemistic, doing nothing basically for the Palestinian cause. How in the world can you write about the months and months long lasting genocide, one of greatest Crimea against humanity, without mentioning the word genocide? I wonder to what is Contrarian against with such articles: against truth, facts, history, solidarity? It is heartbreaking to continuously watch almost total lack of solidarity with Palestinians who find themselves at the brink of extermination, after endless carpet bombings that are turning Gaza into dust and rubble, with at least 60000 people killed, and as many maimed, mutilated, burned, wounded - so many of them children. And we know that this is a gross undercount, with some 340000 people missing. And now, with forced starvation at best you hear or reed a feeble: we must allow aid into Gaza - not a single demand to stop the genocide. We must read about Hamas and Israel nazi governments as if their crimes were comparable in numbers, systematics, evil, destruction. Hamas is not even 20 years old, and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians started decades before, in remote 1948 with one of the greatest collective catastrophes in modern history, the Nakba when some 750000 were thrown out of their lands, never to be allowed back - and their land snitched forever. And yet, at the very best, we get the false equivalence between the oppressor and the victim. It breaks one's heart, that even the progressive forces in the US keep supporting and even enabling the genocide of Gaza.
Hamas is much more than 20 years old; it was formed in 1987, but won control of Gaza in an election in 2007 and then killed its political opponents and hasn't allowed an election since. It has terrorized Gazans and Israelis alike, and has used and continues to use Gazans as human shields and to sacrifice them on the altar of their media war, to which you obviously have been taken hostage.
And yet, these 20 Senate Democrats voted to continue the US support for Israel's genocide, by voting against either one or both of two resolutions submitted by Bernie Sanders to stop providing the weapons to Israel that make this genocide possible.
You, like many commentators, politicians, and journalists, have been drinking too much of Hamas's Kool aid. There is hunger but no famine, but it is largely the fault of Hamas and the UN. Israel, Egypt, and even Jordan and Qatar have been delivering hundreds of trucks full of supplies every day. But, either the supplies sit there undistributed by the UN or other agencies, or Hamas has been commandeering trucks for their own use and selling the supplies to Gazans at severely elevated prices. Even so, food markets have been opening and functioning successfully in multiple locations. I've even seen pizza stands. Many of those photos you see of starving children are are faked, taken from other times and places and recaptioned.
I wonder if you think that Jennifer Rubin , a lifetime stalwart support of Israel, has also been hypnotized by Hamas, for the piece she published here yesterday.
You say a whole lot of nonsense here, but I'll only address your first lie:
Not only is there obvious hunger, not only is there obvious famine, but Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

The day is not coming. It has come and gone for far too many children and families.
It is such an unnecessary tragedy created by Netanyahu's fear of going to jail for corruption. He is as cruel as the 34xfelon/sexual predator heading the US govt.

There's a saying that goes:
Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.
That's true pretty much everywhere except Israel.
In Israel, anti-semitism is the scoundrel's last refuge.
Of course, it's not true- someone can disagree strongly with Israel and not be anti-semitic, but for years it formed a convenient distraction for the scoundrel Netanyahu. But the dodge has long-ago worn thin
More evidence ignored by NY Times and nearly all other media outlets that Hamas has terrorized Gazans as they continue to steal aid being delivered into Gaza. https://x.com/HonestReporting/status/1950331691769164086
