At least 57 Palestinians have starved to death in Gaza as Israel’s punishing blockade of food, water, and other critical aid to the besieged enclave stretches into its third month amid relentless bombardment.
Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Saturday that most of the victims were children, as well as the sick and elderly, condemning the “continued use of food by the Israeli occupation as a weapon of war” and urging the international community to exert pressure on Israel to reopen the borders and allow in aid.
This is a really disingenuous way to sane wash genocide and war crimes, backed by western dollars and politics.
It’s not difficult to call a spade a spade, as long as the fact that it’s a spade actually matters to you at all.
