Meanwhile, up to 80,000 troops are being prepared to start an offensive there. There are no longer any words

I'm waiting for the comments "but it's the UN declaring the famine so it doesn't count because they don't like Isreal".

I’m sure that’ll be along soon. But it’s been declared by the universally accepted standards. So I wonder if those will be an issue now.

Also now on the BBC - children are paying the highest price

They can say what they like, the tipping point for accepting excuses and lies in defence of Israeli actions has long passed.

Yep waiting for the usual deniers to come along to say ‘there is no famine, they’re making it up, those people don’t look skinny enough, or they were dying anyway’.

You won't get denial from me. I thought it was already official that Hamas had manufactured mass starvation.

Or people who can't understand that starvation affects kids quicker than adults..." But why do the parents look well fed when the kids are dying".... . People will tell themselves anything to avoid admitting the truth

An hour and ten minutes after op. Pretty slow actually to be starting all that crap

Ah look, there we go…

Didn't want to let you all down x

Not everybody has to agree with your stance on the conflict. I don't take any of it at face value. I certainly don't believe the famine is man made by Israel - alone. In order to do that, they would need to be seeking that end result. Sounds familiar.

Genuinely don't know how people who deny this famine and Israel's deliberate starvation of Palestine sleep at night. Only they need to live with that I suppose

I don’t know how people look at it and deny that it’s a genocide. I really dont

Sorry I forgot to add in my post ‘but hamas….’

Some people never fail to disappoint.

I don't know what it will take to bring this to an end 😞

I genuinely think it won’t end until Palestine has been eradicated

That's obviously the goal isn't it.

Well they have blatantly said as much. I just don’t understand how the western world can sit back and watch

Don’t rise to the baiters. There could be not a single Palestinian left alive in Gaza and the same people would still be here pretending they’d just committed mass suicide.

All Governments need to be pressured to put heavy sanctions on Israel (no matter how scared they are of Trump!) Israel must be made a pariah state, they should be excluded from all sporting and other events. They need to be treated like South Africa were during the apartheid years.

i wish there was more we could do, I really do

Agree

"I have organized plans. We stop aid and don't let anything into Gaza. If our kidnapped people don't eat, then they (the Palestinians) shouldn't eat anything either... We must occupy the entire Strip. This is our land, and they must pay for what they have done by losing land and by encouraging emigration.” National Security Minister Ben-Gvir, July 2025

“All Gaza will be Jewish” Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu

“Nobody will let us cause 2 million civilians to die of hunger, even though it might be justified and moral, until our hostages are returned.” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, August 2024
