A leading global authority on famine on Monday accused Israel of orchestrating a carefully planned campaign of mass starvation in the Gaza Strip, remarks that came amid a steadily rising death toll from malnutrition caused by the 654-day U.S.-backed Israeli siege and obliteration of the Palestinian enclave.

"I've been working on this topic for more than four decades, and there is no case since World War II of starvation that is being so minutely designed and controlled," Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation at Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, told Al Jazeera.

But we must not forget teh USA's (and allies) role in its creation, and ongoing support. Their "base of Western civilization" in "the enemy's" territory.

Never forget that this time around the Holocaust has the full support of the US, the UK and (once again) Germany.

It's a XXI century Holocaust.

This was expectable ever since Israeli leader started openly making statements about Palestinians when were extreme similar to what the Nazis said about the Jews and the Roma, for example calling them "human animals" and "vermin" and talking about having a "Final plan" for Gaza.

The Zionists are the present day version of the Nazis, and they're well on track to doing the same thing, this time around with the help of pro-Nazi governments in the West, especially the US, UK and Germany.

This parallel long predates Israel itself, or even the holocaust. In the early 20th century, there are many letters in yiddish, and other public statements fun within the Jewish community, that were sent to yiddish newspapers criticizing zionism for using parallel language to "Hitlerism" and similar movements that were spreading across Europe.

Another Auschwitz.

Israel is a failed state and failed experiment and shouldn't be allowed on the world stage in any shape or form. They should be sanctioned and shunned and their leaders arrested.

I'd add, the organized blockade and starvation of Gaza has been going on since the 90s. This is not new for Israel, just dramatically worse now.

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago

And the atrocities against Palestinians have been ongoing ever since before Israel was even founded.
