Starving Gaza: How Silence Is Enabling a Genocide in Real Time

 


Gaza: Starving a Nation in Broad Daylight — and the World Must Act Now

Seven weeks.
Zero aid.
Two million lives on the brink.

Gaza is not just suffering — it is being starved. Deliberately.
In full view of the world, an entire population is being pushed into famine, death, and despair.

No humanitarian aid or commercial supplies have entered Gaza for over seven agonizing weeks.
This is now the longest closure the Gaza Strip has ever faced — a man-made catastrophe unfolding before our eyes.

The evidence is clear and horrifying:

  • All 25 WFP-supported bakeries in Gaza have been forced to shut down. No wheat. No fuel. No bread.
  • WFP food parcels — intended to last two weeks — have been completely exhausted.
  • Safe drinking water has run dry, leaving families to scavenge scraps to burn just to cook a basic meal.
  • Food prices have exploded by up to 1,400%.
  • Hospitals are collapsing without medicine, electricity, or clean water.

And yet, just beyond Gaza’s sealed borders, hope sits idle:
More than 116,000 metric tons of food aid, enough to feed a million people for four months, are ready.
Nearly 3,000 aid trucks, packed and prepared by the United Nations and humanitarian partners, are waiting.
Waiting — because Israel refuses to let them in.

This is not an unfortunate side effect of war.
This is not collateral damage.
This is intentional, calculated starvation.

"Hunger is spreading and deepening — deliberate and man-made," says UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini.
"Gaza has become a land of desperation… humanitarian aid is being used as a bargaining chip and a weapon of war."

Two million human beings overwhelmingly women and children — are being subjected to collective punishment.
A mass atrocity is unfolding in real time, and the world’s silence is becoming complicity.


A Final Warning: Time Is Running Out

To the people of Europe, America, Asia, Africa, and beyond:

This is not just another tragedy.
This is a slow-motion extermination — and the window to save lives is closing fast.

Even if the borders were opened tomorrow, many in Gaza have now reached such critical malnutrition levels that full refeeding could kill them.
Refeeding syndrome
— a fatal reaction when severely starved bodies are suddenly given normal amounts of food — will claim countless lives if urgent, careful intervention does not happen immediately.

In other words:

If we do not act now, even unlimited food aid later may come too late.


The Time for Action Is Not Tomorrow — It’s Now

To the people of conscience across the world:

You have the power to act.

You have the power to speak.

You have the power to demand:

  • That the siege be lifted immediately.
  • That humanitarian aid flows freely, without conditions.
  • That the collective punishment of civilians ends once and for all.

Governments are choosing silence, calculation, and delay.
But your voice, your outrage, your action can break that silence.

This is not a call for charity.
This is a call for basic humanity.
For the right of a child to eat.
For the right of a mother to soothe her hungry baby with something more than empty hands.

History will not ask what you thought.
It will ask what you did — or did not do — when Gaza cried out for help.

Do not wait for the mass graves.
Do not wait for history books to write another chapter of shame.

Rise now. Protest. Share. Pressure. Donate. Amplify.

Because for Gaza’s starving children, there is no more time to lose.

Never Attack a Revolution—Unless It’s Gaza

  By Malik Mukhtar There is a peculiar confidence that comes with being wrong for decades and still being invited back to explain the world. Yossi Alpher—former Mossad official, veteran intelligence analyst, and institutional voice of Israeli “realism”—offers us precisely that confidence in his January 12, 2026 reflections on Iran. His message, distilled, is simple: things are complicated, revolutions are unpredictable, and humility is required . This is sound advice. It just arrives from the wrong mouth, at the wrong time, over the wrong bodies. Because while Alpher warns us—correctly—not to “attack a revolution, ” Israel has spent the last two years doing something far more obscene : attacking a trapped civilian population with no revolution , no army , no air force, no escape —and calling it self-defense . Intelligence: A Sacred Failure, Repeated Faithfully Alpher recalls, with admirable candor, the catastrophic ignorance of Western and Israeli intelligence during...

Gaza Beyond the Alibi of Hamas: Genocide as Method, Silence as Accomplice.( From Chris Hedges report )

We are the most informed generation in human history—and perhaps the least disturbed by what we know. From the first missiles that struck Gaza’s residential blocks to the slow starvation that followed, everything was visible. Every destroyed home. Every burned hospital. Every child pulled from rubble. And yet, the global emotional temperature barely rose. In an age of total visibility, feeling itself has become scarce. Watching has replaced witnessing. Knowing has replaced responsibility. This moral numbness is not accidental. It is cultivated . And at the center of this cultivation stands a single word, endlessly repeated, ritually invoked, and strategically deployed: Hamas . Hamas has functioned not as an explanation, but as an alibi. The Choice Was Announcedk From Day One From the earliest days of Israel’s assault, the policy was articulated with chilling clarity: Gaza’s population would be given two options— stay and starve, or leave . This was not the language of counte...

Ras ‘Ein al-‘Auja: How Ethnic Cleansing Happens Without a Declaration

Ethnic cleansing rarely announces itself with sirens or official decrees. More often, it arrives quietly—through sleepless nights, smashed water tanks, stolen sheep, armed men grazing livestock on stolen land, and the slow realization that survival itself has become impossible. On 8 January 2026 , Israel completed what it had been methodically engineering for months: the forcible transfer of 26 Palestinian families from the shepherding community of Ras ‘Ein al-‘Auja in the southern Jordan Valley. That is 124 people , including 59 children , pushed from homes their families had lived in for decades—not by a single evacuation order, but by sustained terror. This is not a humanitarian crisis caused by “clashes.” It is not a byproduct of war. It is a deliberate policy outcome . Violence as Policy, Militias as Instruments Ras ‘Ein al-‘Auja lies about ten kilometers north of Jericho. It is the last remaining shepherding community in the southern Jordan Valley , and the largest sti...

Ana Kasparian: The Voice That Won’t Be Silent — A Call for Truth in an Age of Power

  Ana Kasparian is one of the most recognized and outspoken voices in contemporary political media. As a co-host of The Young Turks — a trailblazing online news and commentary program — she has spent nearly two decades dissecting U.S. politics, media, power, and foreign policy with unapologetic clarity and fierce conviction. She is not just a commentator — she is a truth-seeker who challenges power at every turn , refusing to soften her words for comfort. Schooled in journalism and political science, Ana’s commentary continues to mobilize millions, especially younger generations who feel unheard in mainstream discourse. A Voice Against the Status Quo Ana’s rhetoric can be bold, controversial, and deeply passionate — because she refuses to accept narratives that obscure the underlying truth about power and influence. On American democracy and foreign policy, she strikes at the heart of what many hesitate to articulate: “ We don’t actually live in a true democracy here in t...

Dr. Randa Abdel Fattah. De-Invited by Association: When Grief Becomes a Pretext and Palestinian Identity a Liability

How Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah Was Silenced in the Name of “Sensitivity” In a remarkable feat of moral gymnastics, Australia’s literary establishment has once again demonstrated how grief can be weaponised, principles suspended, and Palestinian identity rendered dangerously “inappropriate ” —all in the name of cultural sensitivity. Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah , a respected author, academic, and public intellectual, was quietly de-invited from Adelaide Writers’ Week following the Bondi Junction massacre. Not because she had any connection—real, implied, or imagined—to the atrocity. Not because she endorsed violence. Not because she violated any law or ethical standard. But because, apparently, the mere presence of a Palestinian Muslim woman who speaks about justice is now considered culturally unsafe during national mourning . One wonders: unsafe for whom? The Logic of the Absurd Festival organisers were careful—almost impressively so—to state that Dr. Abdel-Fattah had nothing to do wi...
