Nailed it again:

Gaza Said To Be Starving But Not 'Release The Hostages' Starving

GAZA Despite reports that multiple men, women, and children had starved to death in the war-torn Gaza Strip as a result of the ongoing Israel-Gaza War, with approximately 50,000 more facing starvation, Hamas sources said they were not "release the hostages" starving.

"We are starving! I mean, not 'release the hostages starving' but, you know, we're pretty hungry," said Gaza spokesperson Ghazi Hamad, also known as the Voice of Hamas. "Shame on Israel for creating a strategic blockade to force us to give up the hostages! Shame!"

Since the start of the conflict that resulted from the October 7, 2023, attack in which Hamas killed approximately 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, Israel has deployed the use of routine military strategies such as fighting back and setting up a blockade on resources to secure the release of the remaining hostages, causing outrage among the Palestinians. "It's unfair!" said one Gazan as he beat a hostage. "I'm hungry! Just not, you know, hungry enough to give up this hostage."

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, the number of starving Gazans has increased daily. "As our resources diminish, what may start off as a dozen starving children can quickly turn to hundreds and thousands," said Dr. Marwan Naim. "It's almost enough to make us want to give up the hostages. Not quite. But almost."

According to sources, Hamas leadership (which has seen significant turnover in the last two years) remained confident that Israel would crack any minute and simply hand over their entire nation and kill themselves, turning the conflict into an elaborate game of chicken to see who will blink first, the people starving to death or the people with comparatively unlimited resources.

At publishing time, the Gaza Health Ministry reported that the number of starving had risen to the hundreds of thousands, which was really bad but still not quite bad enough to give up the hostages.

Ok can anyone admit that for 50 years or whatever the 2 state solution has completely failed? A 1 state solution is needed. Years ago here in America we didn't go for the 2 state solution. We went for a 1 state solution.

Are you talking about the Civil War? Sort of different...

I am not sure a 2 state solution is bad. Palestinians just didn't buy into it. You cannot sell someone something they dont want to buy. I think they should keep the option open, but recognize that for the immediate future, it won't work.

An article about a 5 month old baby that died of severe starvation. She weighed less at 5 months than at birth. She needed a special kind of baby formula that isn't available in Gaza.

"Sanhedrin 59a: Murdering Goyim is like killing a wild animal."

This is a fabrication.

"2. Abodah Zara 26b: Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed."

This refers to Egyptians who saved the lives of their horses by heeding God's warning and locking them up during the plague of hail, but who later used those horses to chase down the Hebrews. In no way is it a general exhortation to kill gentiles.

"Hilkkoth Akum X1: Do not save Goyim in danger of death."

This is not from the Talmud, but some version of it appears in the more recent commentary of Maimonides. The issue was a narrow one, i.e. whether Jews are required to violate the Sabbath in order to save a non-Jew. The universal conclusion of modern scholars is that they are.

"9. Hilkkoth Akum X1: Show no mercy to the Goyim."

As far as I can tell, this is another fabrication.

"Baba Necia 114, 6: The Jews are human beings, but the nations of the world are not human beings but beasts."

This is a corruption of a passage from the Bava Metzia (not "Necia") on the question of when contact with a grave does or doesn't impose ritual impurity. It is argued that the corpse of an idolater is not the corpse of a "man" for purposes of this particular rule. It has nothing to do with the dignity or worth of non-Jews as human beings, nor does it refer to them as beasts.

"Nidrasch Talpioth, p. 225-L: "Jehovah created the non-Jew in human form so that the Jew would not have to be served by beasts. The non-Jew is consequently an animal in human form, and condemned to serve the Jew day and night."

This Midrash (not "Nidrasch") is another relatively recent commentary, not part of the Talmud. I find no evidence that it contains anything resembling this quote.

"Tosefta. Aboda Zara B, 5: "If a goy kills a goy or a Jew, he is responsible; but if a Jew kills a goy, he is NOT responsible."

"B, 5" does not appear to be a valid citation to this tractate. The Sanhedrin tractate does suggest that a Jew who kills a gentile is not liable for the death penalty, but that doesn't mean he isn't morally or legally responsible.

"Discuss."

It's important to stress that the practices of the Netanyahu government do not reflect the true ethics of Judaism in any way. The last thing we should do, whether knowingly or unknowingly, is to add to the disgrace by propagating antisemitic libels.

This comment is ludicrous. The international community has been dead set against Israel going in and getting the job done as quickly as possible. This includes the US. They also had to contend with Hezbollah in the north. I agree that they should have even been encouraged to make it strong and quick on rooting out Hamas. But that was not allowed by too many.
Israel can't afford to become isolated like North Korea by ticking everyone off at once.

Michael Caine Laments 'Starving Children' in Gaza as Hamas Sabotages Aid Deliveries

Starvation is a by-product of war, along with disease, homelessness and economic ruin. If you don't want the aforementioned heaped upon your people, then don't attack your neighbors.

When those in power are sick of it they will surrender unconditionally. Apparently they aren't sick of it yet. Keep pouring it on until they are.

Izzy needs to be isolated if they don't get their chit together now. Screw them. They have brought it upon theirselves. Their refusal to to address a 2 state solution is a serious problem.

Walking Corpses: Israel's Blockade of Aid Starves Gazans, Aid Groups Say
Julianne MCShane

Two months ago, a coalition of aid groups warned that Israel's war on Gaza--and restrictions on food entering the strip--would cause mass starvation in Gaza imminently. Now, it has arrived, according to officials and aid groups.

On Wednesday, more than 100 aid groups issues a statement outlining just how dire the situation has become for Palestinians as doctors report record rates of malnutrition as a result of Israel's aid blockade. "As the Israeli government's siege starves the people of Gaza, aid workers are now joining the same food lines, risking being shot just to feed their families," the letter states. "[H]umanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes."

The signatories of the letter--which include Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam International, and Save the Children--urged governments to "open all land crossings; restore the full flow of food, clean water, medical supplies, shelter items, and fuel through a principled, UN-led mechanism; end the siege, and agree to a ceasefire now."

As of Tuesday, more than a dozen children and adults had died from hunger within 24 hours, according to the UN, which cited reports from local health authorities. The World Food Program (WFP) says that nearly one in three people is going days without eating in Gaza and that 90,000 women and children need urgent malnutrition treatment.

The latest developments come two months after the launch of the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US-backed Israeli aid distribution system that aid groups have decried as inefficient and dangerous. They say the four distribution sites, all under the control of the Israeli military, are difficult to access and do not distribute enough food. Israeli officials have claimed the system is necessary to prevent Hamas from interfering with food distribution, though officials have not provided evidence that this was ever happening in a coordinated way.

Gazans who do make it to the distribution sites often fear death. Harrowing reports have emerged of hordes of Palestinians being gunned down and killed at the sites. On Sunday, the WFP reported that a crowd of people seeking food from its convoy in northern Gaza were shot and killed by "Israeli tanks, snipers and other gunfire." The organization's director of emergencies called the incident "one of the greatest tragedies we've seen for our operations in Gaza and elsewhere while we're trying to work." Subsequent reports suggested that at least 80 Palestinians were killed in that incident and at least 95 people injured, and that 40 others were killed in other attacks near aid points in Rafah and Khan Younis over the weekend.

This week, the Untied Nations reported that more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the new aid system debuted, nearly 800 of whom were killed near the US-backed aid sites, and the rest of whom were killed near UN and other humanitarian groups' aid convoys.

Aid groups say that they have supplies to support those in need, but that Israeli forces are preventing them from entering Gaza. Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, said in a post on X on Thursday that the UN agency has "equivalent of 6,000 loaded trucks of food & medical supplies in Jordan and Egypt," and called for "unrestricted & uninterrupted humanitarian assistance." He quoted a colleague in Gaza who he said told him, "People in Gaza are neither dead nor alive, they are walking corpses."

Lazzarini added that the agency's health workers "are surviving on one small meal a day, often just lentils, if at all," and "increasingly fainting from hunger while at work."

"When caretakers cannot find enough to eat," he added, "the entire humanitarian system is collapsing."

News organizations have also warned that the few journalists left in Gaza are also facing starvation. On Thursday, Agence France-Presse (AFP), the Associated Press, BBC News, and Reuters issued a joint statement saying they are "desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families." Earlier this week, a group of AFP journalists issued a statement outlining the dire conditions facing the ten who remain in Gaza: "We watch their situation worsen. They are young and losing strength. Most no longer have physical capacity to travel the enclave and do their jobs," says the statement, translated from its original French.

The statement quotes a post the group's photographer, Bashar, 30, put on Facebook over the weekend: "I no longer have the strength to work in media. My body is weak and I cannot work." His brother died of hunger over the weekend, the statement says.
