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.

I know you heartless zealots dont really care because she was going to grow up to be a Palestinian woman, but even in war, we have to do a better job of meeting the needs of the innocents.

What is heartless is encouraging Hamas to hang on. You should be bolder in demanding the release of all October 2024 hostages and an end to hostilities by surrender or negotiated peace that includes "never again" clauses.

---

I am very bold in demanding the release of the hostages but unfortunately, Hamas leaders are not reading this message board, and can't see my bold demands.

---

But Israeli leaders are reading this message board?

---

I dont believe so. Do you? No, we are just sharing opinions in the pursuit of understanding the world around bad us, and hearing what others think.

---

And your opinion seems to be that only Israel can alleviate the suffering in Gaza. Is that not the case?

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.

How many starving to death is ok with you?

Hamas is grabbing the food long before it gets to the Palestinians. Sending more food is not gonna change things

So you are claiming Israel deliberately targeted markets and grocery stores to starve the Gaza civilians? So why isn't Hamas setting up aid areas for civilians - that aren't areas used for rocket launches? Why isn't aid going in through Egypt? Why isn't aid going in by the Gaza coast? (Oh, yeah, Hamas attacked the coastal aid point.)

If you want this war to end sooner than later, you would not be asking Israel to hold back its forces and start sending food and medical into Hamas held territory. Don't be a patsy for aggressors. Let's hope Israel has been working on a final push into Gaza to end this thing. That push will be expensive in Israeli lives as well as Palestinian as Hamas has had time to reset itself. And don't forget the last US administration withholding offensive weapon sales to Israel.

Long wars are hellacious.

'This Is Eternal War': Netanyahu's Shin Bet Chief Reportedly Opposed Hostage Deals in Top IDF Forum
Bar Peleg
May 23, 2025

Israeli army general David Zini, who was tapped by Prime Minister Netanyahu to lead the Shin Bet security service, said in closed discussions with the General Staff that he opposed hostage deals, Israeli Channel 12 has reported.

"I oppose hostage deals -- this is an eternal war," said Zini, according to the report.

Earlier Friday, Haaretz reported that during internal IDF discussions throughout the war, Zini took a hardline stance on military operations in Gaza. He was reportedly involved in repeated clashes with other General Staff members over hostage negotiations, insisting that defeating Hamas should take precedence.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum called Zini's reported remarks "shocking and deserving of full condemnation -- especially from someone who may soon determine the fate of the hostages." They added: "Appointing a Shin Bet chief who prioritizes Netanyahu's war over returning hostages is not just a mistake -- it's a betrayal of the Israeli people."

Earlier Friday, MK Gadi Eisenkot (National Unity), a former IDF chief who previously commanded David Zini, called on him to refuse the appointment as head of the Shin Bet.

Ahead of the appointment, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara said Netanyahu must not move to name a new Shin Bet chief until legal safeguards are established. This follows a Supreme Court ruling that found he had a conflict of interest in firing current chief Ronen Bar.

Eisenkot, in an open letter to Zini, said, "The prime minister is jeopardizing the hard-won achievements of this war through ongoing, unfocused fighting with outdated goals. I commanded you for most of your military service. I respect your operational abilities and courage, and I know you have the wisdom to choose the right path… In a time lacking worthy leaders -- be one."

'This Is Eternal War': Netanyahu's Shin Bet Chief Reportedly Opposed Hostage Deals in Top IDF Forum
Bar Peleg
May 23, 2025

Israeli army general David Zini, who was tapped by Prime Minister Netanyahu to lead the Shin Bet security service, said in closed discussions with the General Staff that he opposed hostage deals, Israeli Channel 12 has reported.

"I oppose hostage deals -- this is an eternal war," said Zini, according to the report.

Earlier Friday, Haaretz reported that during internal IDF discussions throughout the war, Zini took a hardline stance on military operations in Gaza. He was reportedly involved in repeated clashes with other General Staff members over hostage negotiations, insisting that defeating Hamas should take precedence.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum called Zini's reported remarks "shocking and deserving of full condemnation -- especially from someone who may soon determine the fate of the hostages."

The trading of multiple prisoners for each hostage might be getting old.

"As of late July 2025, the latest available information indicates:

• Hamas has released 33 hostages during the initial phase of the agreement, including living civilians, soldiers, and the bodies of murdered hostages.
• Israel has released hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the hostages.
• Over 50 hostages remain in Hamas captivity, with roughly half believed to be deceased.

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.

According to internal figures shared with the Post by military officials coordinating aid operations, nearly 4,500 humanitarian trucks have entered Gaza since May 19, split evenly between distribution centers and supplemental routes. These deliveries included 1.5 million weekly family food parcels, 2,500 tons of infant formula, and bulk supplies for bakeries and kitchens.

4,500 trucks wouldn't feed Gaza for a week, let alone two months. This is a tacit admission that nothing Hamas is doing makes any real difference.

Remember that all this disinformation that Hamas IS not stealing the food is coming from Reuters report from USAid who is trying to get more US Taxpayer money. However it's not the truth. The study relied entirely on self-reporting from aid organizations operating in what analysts describe as a "mafia-like" environment controlled by Hamas through violence and intimidation.

End Game: Netanyahu Now Plans To Annex Gaza, Bowing To Extremist Members Of Coalition

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to propose a plan by which Israel will begin claiming parts of Gaza to be Israeli territory, with an eye on eventually seizing all of it. The scheme -- which is said to have President Trump's backing though also certain to trigger international condemnation -- is aimed at preventing his extremist ruling coalition from splintering, according to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which first reported on it.

Under the scheme, Israel will give Gaza political and militant group Hamas a short deadline for accepting a ceasefire. After Hamas refuses to accept Netanyahu's terms (which will likely be written to guarantee refusal) Israel will start annexing portions of Gaza, starting with the buffer zone it has created along the perimeter of the territory, before proceeding to claim more land in the north. Eventually, all of Gaza will be claimed as Israeli land, fulfilling the wishes of extremist ministers who are vital to Netanyahu's ruling coalition.

One of those powerful coalition members is Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, leader of the Religious Zionism party, which seeks to move the Israeli state closer to a theocracy. Smotrich is himself a West Bank settler who has long agitated for the annexing of that territory. In May, Smotrich told a settler conference that "Gaza will be totally destroyed," with all 2.3 million residents "concentrated" in the extreme south, where they will be "totally despairing" with "no hope" and "looking for relocation to begin a new life in other places."

...another minister of note: Itamar Ben Gvir, who leads the National Security Ministry...reiterated his demand that nothing at all be allowed to flow into Gaza, and for the IDF to conquer the territory and encourage the Palestinians to move to other countries. To get a sense of his extremism, consider that Ben Gvir infamously adorned his home with a photo of Baruch Goldstein, who mass-murdered 28 Muslims in the 1994 Cave of the Patriarchs massacre."

I'm sure that the Israeli government is going to strongly support the relocation of Palestinians to the EU, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States.
