Given that Gaza has been essentially an open air prison and now a war zone that sweeps back and forth accross the area causing people not to be able to stay in any given place for long, this is unfortunately, not surprising. It reminds me of the Iraq war only with accusations of antisemitism mixed in against those that are appalled by what is going on there.

Especially early on in the Iraq war it was considered anti-American to be critical of it. Of course, that doesn’t have the kind of baggage that anti-Semitism has, but I do think it’s being used in exactly the same way, and it’s just conveniently more effective because of the very real history (and present) of anti-Semitism and anti-Jewish violence. Where as (settler) America isn’t exactly an oppressed people

Or “Starvation” as it’s also known.

Wouldn’t matter. Israel wants this, Hamas is just a means to an end for them. Hamas is not in power in the West Bank, yet Israel commits atrocities there on a daily basis as well.

Way to white wash starving.
I don’t think that’s the intention. The article itself declares it starvation
The extermination of people in Gaza is an atrocity.
Israel should pay a similar price after this as Germany did after WWII.
Makes me wonder how long until Israel stops committing war crimes them blaming them on Hamas.
Israel withheld food and water. Israel pulled the trigger. Israel kills tens of Gazans every day.
