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.

When the Warning Comes from the General Moshe Ya’alon, Jewish Supremacy, and the Echo Nobody Wanted to Hear

History has a cruel sense of irony. Sometimes the most devastating indictments do not come from the oppressed, the bombed, the buried, or the silenced—but from the very architects of power who once swore they were different. This week, that indictment came from Moshe Ya’alon : former Israeli Defense Minister, former IDF Chief of Staff, lifelong pillar of Israel’s security establishment. Not a dissident poet. Not a radical academic. Not a Palestinian survivor. A general. And what he said shattered the last polite illusion. “ The ideology of Jewish supremacy that has become dominant in the Israeli government is reminiscent of Nazi race theory.” Pause there. Sit with it. This was not shouted at a protest . It was not scribbled on a placard. It was written calmly, deliberately, after attending a Holocaust Remembrance ceremony —then reading reports of Jewish settlers attacking Palestinians , blocking ambulances , fracturing skulls , burning homes. Never Again, apparently, now ...

A Rabbi Against the State: When Faith Refuses Power

In a world where identity is weaponized and religion is drafted into political armies, the sight of an ultra-Orthodox rabbi standing beside Palestinian flags unsettles nearly everyone. Yet there stands — black coat, beard, sidelocks — calmly declaring something that scrambles modern assumptions: “ Judaism is not Zionism.” For him, this is not rebellion . It is obedience . Affiliated with , a small and highly controversial Haredi sect, Rabbi Beck represents a theological current that predates modern nationalism. His argument is not secular. It is not progressive. It is not post-modern. It is ancient . And that is precisely the point. The Interview That Disturbs Categories In one widely circulated long-form interview, the exchange unfolds with almost disarming simplicity. Interviewer: Rabbi Beck, how can you oppose Israel as a Jewish rabbi? Rabbi Beck: Judaism and Zionism are two completely different things. Judaism is a religion. Zionism is a political movement founded little more ...

“Not Auschwitz — Yet Still Genocide”: When Israeli Holocaust Historians Break the Silence on Gaza

  There are moments in history when the most unsettling truths do not come from one’s enemies, but from within. From those who know the past most intimately. From those whose moral authority is built not on ideology, but on memory. In December 2025, two of Israel’s most respected Holocaust and genocide scholars— Prof. Daniel Blatman and Prof. Amos Goldberg of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem—published a deeply unsettling opinion article in Haaretz . What they argued was not casual, rhetorical, or activist hyperbole. It was a grave historical judgment. Their conclusion was stark: What is happening in Gaza is not Auschwitz. But it belongs to the same family of crimes: genocide. Why This Voice Matters Blatman and Goldberg are not marginal figures. They are historians whose professional lives have been devoted to studying Nazi crimes, genocide mechanisms, memory, and moral responsibility . Their scholarship is rooted in the very catastrophe that shaped modern Jewish iden...

Even the Dead Are Not Safe: How Power Desecrates Graves and Calls It Security

  There is a final dignity that every civilization, every faith, every moral tradition claims to respect: the dignity of the dead. In Gaza and the West Bank, even that has been revoked. Homes can be flattened. Children can be starved. Hospitals can be reduced to ash. These crimes, we are told, are “tragic necessities.” But graves ? What threat does a corpse pose to a modern army armed with drones , tanks , and nuclear ambiguity ? Apparently, enough to be bulldozed. Graves as Enemy Infrastructure According to detailed reporting by Al Jazeera , Israeli forces in Gaza did not merely fight the living — they waged war on cemeteries . Tombstones were crushed. Graves were excavated . Human remains were scattered, mixed, lost . Families returned not to mourning, but to forensic horror: bones without names, names without bodies. This was not collateral damage . This was not crossfire. This was methodical excavation . Heavy machinery was deployed to retrieve the body of one ...

Don’t Spoil the Show: Gaza, Davos, and the Business Class of Peace

There is a rule at Davos—unwritten, but strictly enforced. Reality is bad for business. Yossi Alpher learned this the hard way. Sitting on a panel at a luxury resort near the Dead Sea, surrounded by ministers, executives, and conflict “experts,” he made the unforgivable mistake of speaking honestly. Grim facts. Grim assessments. No PowerPoint optimism. No Riviera renderings. No applause. A prominent Israeli industrialist later pulled him aside and explained the crime: “ Don’t spoil the show . The idea is to radiate optimism that nourishes an investment climate . It’s all about business. No room for realism .” That sentence may be the most accurate peace-process doctrine of the 21st century. Phase II: Now With Billionaires Fast forward to Davos again. This time, the stage is Gaza—or rather, Gaza™ , the investment opportunity. Trump’s “Board of Peace,” staffed by billionaires and brand managers of global destruction , announces Phase II of a Gaza peace plan with all the s...
