The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) reported on Saturday that over 50,000 children in the Gaza Strip are in urgent need of treatment for acute malnutrition, Anadolu Agency reports.

In a statement, the agency said that “with continued restrictions to humanitarian access, people in Gaza continue to face desperate levels of hunger.”

“Over 50,000 children require treatment for acute malnutrition,” it added.

    Ah, yeah, Ethiopia, that self-proclaimed nation with “Western Values”, which has the “Most Moral Army In The World” and is supported militarilly by the US in the specific actions causing death and starvation amongst the children of the targetted ethnicity.

    What you’re saying is that in reality Israel is pretty much a Fascist authocracy, like Ethiopia, hence having the same disregard for human life, especially children. That does make sense.

    As for the rest of your bollocks, given that the blocade of Gaza for food, water, fuel and energy has been openly decreed by the Israeli Government, all that disassembly of yours pointingly ignoring the primary cause of it and throwing all the the excuses you can think of at the wall and see if something sticks, is just another technique straight out of Himmler’s book of tricks, in order of appearance:

    • “there is really no starvation” (even though the UN says there is)
    • “we’re actually trying to help them” (even though Zionists created the problem in the first place and could instantly stop it right now by letting aid in by land, but refuse to)
    • “other people aren’t helping” (even though it’s not their fault and the ones who did and still now try to help, such as the UN, had and still have most of their help blocked from entering by the Zionists)
    • “it’s really all their fault and they’re the ones killing their own children by not agreeing to our demands” (an almost perfect example of the “why do you make me do this to you by refusing to do what I want?” of sociopaths).
    • “it’s really all their fault and they’re the ones killing their own children for political gain with the world’s public opinion”
    • “you only criticise the purposeful starvation of children in Gaza because you blindly support Hamas” (basically, “if you don’t support us, you support our enemy”)

    It’s amazing how you ethno-Fascists haven’t really evolved much from the 1930s.

      Nope. I’m saying you don’t care about black people. When millions of black people were starving you simply didn’t care.

        But you didn’t bring up Uighur which by your own logic proves you don’t care about them. Why didn’t you bring them up as well? Is their plight also not important? Why is your heart so small?

          I’m not the one that said what’s happening in Gaza is the worst thing to happen since the Nazis. See the problem with constantly being hyperbolic is that it results in all kinds of horrible implications. The implication of the statement that Gaza is the worst thing to happen in 75 years is that you’re at best ignorant of history, and at worst you’ve dehumanized victims of the many atrocities that have happened in that time period.

          So which is it? The victims of what happened in Ethiopia, what’s happening in China, the victims of the Rwandan genocide, the victims of the Killing Fields of Cambodia, the people of China that starved in the “Great Leap Forward” (this list goes on and on) aren’t people so therefore you don’t need to even consider these events of the over 75 years since the Nazis held power? Or are you simply ignorant of history?

          It’s probably best just to claim ignorance and refrain from hyperbole in the future.

            I guess when people are standing up to a genocide I don’t assume the worse interpretation of their words 🤷 but you do you

              When people try to “both sides” genocide in an attempt to normalize it in an effort to rationalize the horrific acts committed by their side, then yeah I don’t give a lot of leeway.

        Once again you’re showing that in your worldview everything is about race just like all ethno-Fascists.

          Ah yes, the far right tactic of claiming that anyone that recognizes the existence of racism is a racist.

            From Nazis to Zionists all ethno-Fascists claim their violence along ethnic lines is for the defense of a specific ethnicity and that any violence is justifiable to defend their ethnicity, hence for them anybody who condemns that violence must be a racist: just like 80 years ago they said those who criticized them were “against the Arian Race”, now they say critics are “antisemitic”.

            Further, this worldview extends to everything and sees everybody as first and foremost a member of an ethnicity: all actions of anybody out there are for the ethno-Fascist due to those people’s race or to the race of others, both at the level of why people do things and the kind of things people can do, and that includes not just actions but words too - voiced criticism or approval and even lack of criticism or approval are all seen as due to race. Even inaction is seen as due to race.

            Everybody looks like a racists to an ethno-Fascist since they’re the biggest racists around and couldn’t possibly imagine that other people would not have race as motivation for what they say or do.
