Malnourished starving children in Gaza

I think many of the so-called pro Israel posters, are succeeding in turning more and more people against Israel.

For the First Time, Israeli Human Rights Groups Say Israel Is Committing Genocide in Gaza, Call for International Intervention

'Genocidal intent throughout': According to the reports by B'Tselem and Physicans for Human Rights – Israel, the Israeli attack on Gaza caused 'massive, indiscriminate bombardment of population centers' and the 'starvation of more than two million people as a method of warfare' against the Palestinians.

I think the Gazan people are truly being dehumanised. I don't see Israelis being systematically exterminated.

I think you mean Hamas won't be happy until Israel ceases to exist which means the same thing for the people of Israel. Stop dehumanising the people of Israel.

The Israelis won’t be satisfied until every Palestinian is dead or fled.

What is going on with UNRWA not delivering the bloody aid!

I wouldn't mind some of the billions spent on war in this country being used to arm UN soldiers to protect aid trucks driven into Gaza. Protect the trucks from Hamas and the IDF. Just get the food in.

I completely agree with you but there will be posters on here immediately saying that we should let kids starve because of October 7 or Hamas and therefore don’t believe a genocide is happening and even if it is Israel is 100% allowed to bomb the shit out of Gaza in ‘defence’. Also if you mention children being innocent in this you get Oh but the Bibas children were all killed on October 7th it’s justice.

Exactly. Wonder if she would keep her emotions in check if it was her child, or those of her friends and family.

Absolutely, this ^

It's this dehumanisation of another group, the venom that seethes out of your posts about the Palestinian people is disgusting.

When people ask how something as awful as the Holocaust could have happened, it is because one group of people have come to see another as less than human.

You need to have a good look in the mirror and wake up to what you are.

Let’s find out - at the moment you look like you are making stuff up - what do you have to lose by sharing your sources. You currently lack credibility

Why are you here

it’s late in the thread and this has already devolved into… this. But I’m saying it because in a tiny way this is a thing I can do

It’s incomprehensible. I can’t believe I’m living in the same lifetime as this is going on. They’re trying to desensitise us to sheer horror.

Okay, so we can agree that there is a famine and that more broadly innocent people are suffering? So images/reports/info about the situation in Gaza are correct but are also being used to fuel anti Israel sentiment?

I’m sorry you’ve already closed yourself off from evidence that may be valuable/informative. I have not - I’m always looking to understand the other side/a different perspective so please share any links you can and I’ll approach them with an open mind.

My understanding is that the images are of children with genetic or other illnesses. And I'm not denying that being in this situation, displaced and with an insecure food supply and inadequate medical care, isn't horrendous and gravely dangerous for these children, btw. Of course not.

Re your aid comments, please provide sources for this version of events. Because my sources point to Israel’s army killing aid workers. Any independent, trustworthy sources will do. Happy to provide sources if that would help.

I suspect that we might never consider each other's sources independent and trustworthy.

But it isn’t just one photo of one child that is being circulated as proof of the issue is it? There are photos of other children, accounts from charities, hospital workers and NGOs, plus admission from Israel that ‘aid corridors’ must be opened.

It is a real low point, I feel, that people are looking at victims in a war zone and judging whether they look thin enough to pity. Would you like their before and after weight listed below the image too, just to check?

If you look at images of Gaza before the war v now, read independent accounts of what is happening in hospitals there, read NGO reports or news articles, it is unbelievable that you can still shrug it off as some sort of propaganda campaign. This is how war crimes are going to continue to be committed.

Re your aid comments, please provide sources for this version of events. Because my sources point to Israel’s army killing aid workers. Any independent, trustworthy sources will do. Happy to provide sources if that would help.

I will also say that Israel taking Hamas out of the aid distribution pipeline massively weakened them, hence the subsequent onslaught of claims of massacres at distrubution centres.
A lot of the aid was meant to be distributed by the UN - Hamas proceeded to attack them, it became too dangerous, and the current disaster unfolded.

The baby in the images that were in the media over the last few days, suffers from cerebal palsy and a number of other disorders, and has relied on nutritional supplements since birth.
Clearly, having a child with such significant needs in the current situation in Gaza is horrendous, and he - and his family - are suffering.

But it's not the same thing as a healthy child who is that thin simply from outright starvation and lack of calories. His mother and older brother, visible in some of the images, are a normal weight.

I believe that the current release of these images, designed to create the impresson that children are starving to death en masse, was to help shore up anti-Israel sentiment during the negotiations. Which have since failed - Hamas remains in place, and the suffering continues.

Amnesty international, oxfam and save the children have templates, I believe.

Can we start a letter campaign to MPs? If each of us sent one and then asked 5 friends to do the same and pass on to 5 others, surely that might build some political pressure? I'm happy to draft one and post a link to it tomorrow, or very happy to sign someone else's?

Please email your MP also

How is Israel justifying their ban on foreign reporters entering Gaza? This information bias could be cleared up by allowing some independent on-the-ground scrutiny, what do they have to hide? - I can't help but feel we have not seen the worst of what is going on and in years to come they will uncover more horrific deeds supported by the Israeli Gov.
