"Israeli restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid may amount to the war crime of deliberate starvation, the UN has said. Israel says it is facilitating aid, and the UN and relief groups are at fault for issues over the quantity and pace of delivery."

Take note of the blatant and shameless lying that comes out of Israel, trying to pretend they aren't to blame.

It reminds me of a quote from Matilda when she is asked how Trunchball gets away with her abuse "Never do anything by halves if you want to get away with it. Be outrageous. Go the whole hog. Make sure everything you do is so completely crazy it’s unbelievable."

Except we’re not allowed to empathize because the worlds media is bias

The footage of the drones playing a baby crying to lure people out before shooting them is beyond disturbing. The most moral army in the world is actually the most depraved.

Thanks for the new thread.

I've just watched the sickening sight of a child being pulled from the womb of her dead mother - murdered by the IDF. She survived, for now.

So, apologists, what was her crime? Go on, I dare you. 😡

World Food Programme update

#Gaza: WFP has delivered fuel and wheat flour to bakeries in the north so they can begin production again after 170 days of being inoperable.

Four bakeries are now up and running and WFP is urgently working to deliver more supplies.

Mass graves are being found. Where is the outrage?

Lwrenn · 23/04/2024 08:19

I'm really sorry to say I can't read these threads and be as involved in this as I'd like to be. I have a touch of post natal depression and I saw something that sent me absolutely spiralling.
This is one of the most evil crimes against people I think has ever occurred. It is up there with the holocaust. My great grandparents narrowly escaped the nazis and I hope my relatives would be disgusted by Israels actions, as am I with my very slight Jewish heritage.
Its truly dumbfounding how this is happening. My dp is a 6ft bearded, tattooed, shaven headed thug looking scouser and I caught him crying at footage over the last few months. Not sobs, full shaking with pure devastation and also rage. One wasn't as gruesome images as we'd seen, it was simply a wee boy shaking with shellshock and every instinct we have as adults to protect children is just destroyed when there isn't anything we can do.
I'm desperate to donate to a really good charity, I'm going to sell some of my nice bags on vinted and see what else I can do.
I've even entered competitions (so not something I do) with hope I'd be able to help financially.
If any of you have a good charity that isn't a ceo's holiday property being paid for, then please let me know.
And thank you @Eyesopenwideawake and everyone else who keeps these discussions going. When I'm less emotionally fragile I'll come chat with you more but right now I'm waiting for a wee bit more help with my pnd and I'll be back.
Solidarity and hope to all x

@Lwrenn Mind yourself post natal depression is tough going 💐

BelleHathor · 23/04/2024 18:58

Yes Lwren sending you and your family love and hugs ❤️. Take care of yourself and ask for any help that you might need, there's no need to apologise, you care and that's enough, the Palestinians that I speak to know that and constantly thank everyone for caring xxx

Mass graves in Gaza show victims’ hands were tied, says UN rights office

Disturbing reports continue to emerge about mass graves in Gaza in which Palestinian victims were reportedly found stripped naked with their hands tied, prompting renewed concerns about possible war crimes amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes, the UN human rights office, OHCHR, said on Tuesday

@Lwrenn I'm sorry to hear about your post-natal depression, it can be brutal. Take care of yourself and your family, and know that you've got support on here if and when you need it. I've found the parenting resources on Mumsnet really helpful for making me feel less alone.

Knowing people care really does help. Don't stress about money or donations - the best thing you can do is share some kindness and awareness into the world while getting yourself well. There's a lot of darkness going on in the world, and the best way to counter that is with our own efforts at creating positivity and hope, and that starts at home, with ourselves and our own families.

US envoy says risk of famine in Gaza 'very high' despite some progress from Israel

David Satterfield, the US special envoy for humanitarian issues, has said the risk of famine in northern Gaza remains “very high” despite an increase in the amount of aid being admitted to the territory.

“Israel has taken significant steps in these last two and a half weeks,” Reuters reports Satterfield told the media. “There is still considerable work to be done. But progress has been made.”

I can't get my head around why there is no outrage.

Northwood456 · 24/04/2024 08:34

I also can’t engage in this as much as I’d like to. But I’m place marking and thanking everyone for talking about it and showing solidarity in the horror of it. All the outrage and concern for Israelis when Iran was sending the drones - where has concern been for Palestinians who face that reality every day for six months? I can’t wrap my head around the inhumanity of it. I remember as a child thinking that England was so cruel during the Irish potato famine and that we lacked humanity back then, but we’ve come so far, taught by Gandhi, MLK etc. Well no, it’s still the same. People are just sick.
