Evidence gathered by Amnesty International demonstrates how over a month since the introduction of its militarized aid distribution system, Israel has continued to use starvation of civilians as a weapon of war against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip and to deliberately impose conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction as part of its ongoing genocide.

Heartbreaking testimonies gathered from medical staff, parents of children hospitalized for malnutrition and displaced Palestinians struggling to survive paint a horrifying picture of acute levels of starvation and desperation in Gaza. Their accounts provide further evidence of the catastrophic suffering caused by Israel’s ongoing restrictions on life-saving aid and its deadly militarized aid scheme coupled with mass forced displacement, relentless bombardment and destruction of life-sustaining infrastructure.

“While the eyes of the world were diverted to the recent hostilities between Israel and Iran, Israel’s genocide has continued unabated in Gaza, including through the infliction of conditions of life that have created a deadly mix of hunger and disease pushing the population past breaking point,” said Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International.

In the month following Israel’s imposition of a militarized “‘aid” scheme run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), hundreds of Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured either near militarized distribution sites or en route to humanitarian aid convoys.

I wonder how many reports and studies are needed before people finally catch on to what has been incredibly obvious for decades

Everyone who can connect the dots already realized that Trump gave Netanyahu the OK to kill as many Palestinians as he wants to.

In fact Trump is all in for normalizing genocide and the survival of the fittest (or in modern terms - whoever has the most powerful Military) as it fits his own agenda.

Israel always acted with impunity and the united snakes allowed them to do whatever they like

For crying out loud, stop trying to score political points in US politics when murdering brown people and helping Israel do so is the ultimate bipartisan subject in the US.

You can find differences between the two "sides" in US politics on some subjects (though often the distance is fag paper thin). but in this they're on the same side, with at most the only difference being that the Democract establishment would rather Israel was a bit more quiet in their mass murdering.

I did not say a word about democrats, the person trying to bring up differences or indifferences between the two parties IN the US are you.

I only talked about Trump.

Please work on your reading comprehension. Thanks.

Yeah, right, it's because you're wholly apolitical and concerned above all with the plight of Palestinians that under an article about Evidence pointing to Israel's continued used of Starvation to inflict Genocide on Palestinians you felt the need to explicitly make it about Trump and mentioned no other of the many supporters and enablers of Israel and its Genocide

Go pull the other one.

If you weren't trying to bring in your pet peeve in American politics you would've just said "America" (since the whole fucking political mainstream there are Genocide enablers) or, even better, mention all of the most egregious supporters of Israel and its Genocide: America, Britain and Germany (in all of which, curiously, the whole fucking political mainstream are Genocide enablers).

The point Aceticon is making is that it doesn't really matter who the US president is when Israel is concerned.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I started calling this a New Holocaust ever since it became obvious that Israel was trying to starve Palestinians to death.

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 days ago

You don't say.

I can just hear the genocide deniers be like

"There's no genocide, Amnesty international is biased!!!!! cites ADL"

"It's just war crimes"

At this point they're either willfully ignorant or just plain malicious because the evidence just keeps piling up and up
