After Food Aid Massacre, U.N. Expert Accuses Israel of Starving Gaza

In Gaza City, at least 104 Palestinian refugees were killed Thursday when Israeli troops opened fire on a crowd waiting for food aid. “This isn’t the first time people have been shot at by Israeli forces while people have been trying to access food,” says the U.N.'s special rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri, who accuses Israel of the war crime of intentional starvation. This comes as reports grow of Palestinians resorting to animal feed and cactus leaves for sustenance and as experts warn of imminent agricultural collapse. “Every single person in Gaza is hungry,” says Fakhri, who emphasizes that famine in the modern context is a human-made catastrophe. “At this point I'm running out of words to be able to describe the horror of what’s happening and how vile the actions have been by Israel against the Palestinian civilians.”

    From the looks of things, the IDF laid a trap for Palestinians.

    The IDF promised food aid to the people they’ve been starving for the past few months (and keeping on the brink of starvation for the past 17 years)

    The crowds gathered, waiting for the food aid to trickle out, when the IDF opened fire with vehicle mounted, heavy machine guns. Over 100 people are dead, and something like 750 were wounded.

    Here’s an article about it.

      A lot of them were children getting the food as well.

        Um, the IDF has been killing Palestinian civilians en-mass since the start of the war. Using 2000lbs bombs in civilian areas kills civilians.

        High level Israeli officials have flat out said that the end goal is 100% ethnic cleansing. An Israel completely free of Palestinians.

        They’ve been slow rolling the Ethnic Cleansing for decades, but now they have an excuse to speed things up a bit. With the unwavering support of various major powers, Israel can speed run the ethnic cleansing.

            Oh that makes sense. It just looks like ethnic cleansing. It just tastes, smells, sounds and feels like genocide. It’s not… But it just looks that way.

        Have you been ignoring the entirety of Israeli/Palestinian history? The IDF is a force for genocide. Killing Palestinians is the goal.

            And opening fire on civilians grabbing aid, and indiscriminately bombing children, and massacring far more civilians than Hamas ever did proportionally, right? Such a righteous army!

            Fuck off with Genocide denial.

                Yep, the IDF should be abolished and Netanyahu should stand trial for genocide for their atrocities.

                It’s perfectly normal to be outraged by genocide. You don’t have to open fire on children getting food!
