More than half a million people in Gaza — a quarter of the population — are starving, according to a report Thursday by the United Nations and other agencies, highlighting the humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s bombardment and siege on the territory in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack.
The extent of the population’s hunger eclipsed even the near-famines in Afghanistan and Yemen of recent years, according to figures in the report. The report warned that the risk of famine is “increasing each day,” blaming the hunger on insufficient aid entering Gaza.
“It doesn’t get any worse,’’ said Arif Husain, chief economist for the U.N.’s World Food Program. “I have never seen something at the scale that is happening in Gaza. And at this speed.”
But hey, big line goes up, who cares if they’re chronically malnourished and desperate. What possible consequence could this even have for regional stability and security?
I do care about the people of Gaza. I’m actively, and truly, believe that the best course of action is for the Egyptian/Qatari peace plan to be immediately signed.
But if someone is trying to convince me that Israel has been genociding the people of Gaza for the last 5 decades well… I’m sorry. The math just doesn’t add up. We have statistics that prove otherwise.

When Yoav Gallant is applauding the Nakba of '48 and calling for a repeat in '23, this isn’t a question of you being convinced. Its purely a question of whether you acknowledge the reality on the ground in Gaza or plug your ears in denial. But don’t feel singled out. You’d hardly the first person to deny that a holocaust has taken place.
