In Gaza City, at least 104 Palestinian refugees were killed Thursday when Israeli troops opened fire on a crowd waiting for food aid. “This isn’t the first time people have been shot at by Israeli forces while people have been trying to access food,” says the U.N.'s special rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri, who accuses Israel of the war crime of intentional starvation. This comes as reports grow of Palestinians resorting to animal feed and cactus leaves for sustenance and as experts warn of imminent agricultural collapse. “Every single person in Gaza is hungry,” says Fakhri, who emphasizes that famine in the modern context is a human-made catastrophe. “At this point I'm running out of words to be able to describe the horror of what’s happening and how vile the actions have been by Israel against the Palestinian civilians.”
Have you been ignoring the entirety of Israeli/Palestinian history? The IDF is a force for genocide. Killing Palestinians is the goal.
Obviously it is not committing a genocide. They’re fighting a city block war inside a highly dense area against an enemy who uses its own civilians as both shields and fodder for creating global rage.
And opening fire on civilians grabbing aid, and indiscriminately bombing children, and massacring far more civilians than Hamas ever did proportionally, right? Such a righteous army!
Fuck off with Genocide denial.
Thank you for perfectly illustrating how they have succeeded in creating global rage.
Yep, the IDF should be abolished and Netanyahu should stand trial for genocide for their atrocities.
It’s perfectly normal to be outraged by genocide. You don’t have to open fire on children getting food!
