No More Excuses: Gaza Is Starving, Bombed, and Abandoned – and the IDF Is Not Innocent



As the world looks away or hides behind carefully worded condemnations, Gaza sinks deeper into a nightmare most of us cannot fathom. Babies die not just under rubble, but now in silence—starved, dehydrated, and forgotten. With over a million displaced, barely any hospitals functional, and humanitarian aid routinely blocked or bombed, this is not a war—it is engineered annihilation.

A Famine Manufactured by Siege
The blockade of Gaza has transformed hunger into a weapon of war. With UN officials warning of “full-blown famine,” children are dying from dehydration and malnutrition, not because there’s no food in the world—but because Israel has made sure it cannot reach them. Trucks carrying flour and baby formula are turned back or attacked. Even water—a basic human right—is scarce. Wells have been bombed. Aid convoys shelled. This is intentional deprivation.

Where Is the Conscience of the World?
We are witnessing a modern-day Ghetto. Gaza is sealed, starved, and shelled. Entire families have been wiped out. And yet international leaders issue tired calls for “restraint” while continuing to arm and fund the oppressor. But as journalist Gideon Levy sharply reminds us—this is not merely the work of politicians like Netanyahu. It is the direct, continuous, and voluntary execution by the Israel Defense Forces.

No, the IDF Is Not Just 'Following Orders'
Levy’s bold piece in Haaretz demolishes the myth of a reluctant military caught in political crossfire. The IDF has not only carried out this operation—it has designed and executed it. Pilots press buttons that rain death on tents, medics, and children. Artillery crews target UN schools and hospitals. Commanders openly speak of “breaking the spirit” of Gaza.

To absolve them is not only dishonest—it is cowardly. These are not machines. These are men and women making choices every day to kill, to obey, and not to dissent.

Left-Wing Silence Is Complicity Too
Even the so-called Israeli left, figures like Yair Golan, have refused to confront the military's role. Golan’s recent retreat—where he stressed that his criticism was only of the government and not the IDF—proves that even critics cannot let go of the sacred myth of the “moral army.” But there is nothing moral about starving civilians. Nothing moral about cluster bombs and mass graves.

This Is Not Security. It Is Collective Punishment.
The Gaza Strip today is not a battlefield. It is a graveyard. The war’s stated aim—destroying Hamas—is long eclipsed by its actual outcome: the destruction of Gaza’s people. Any military that continues to bomb the hungry, the displaced, the sick—is not fighting terrorism. It is committing it.

We Must Name the Crime to Stop It
Gideon Levy is right: without the IDF, this horror would not have been possible. And those who shield the military from criticism are enabling further atrocities. The generals could stop it. The pilots could refuse. The soldiers could resist. But they do not. And so the blood of Gaza’s children stains not just the hands of politicians—but of every uniformed man and woman who presses the trigger.

End the Siege. Stop the Bombing. Hold Them Accountable.
History will ask where we stood. Let us not be the ones who whispered in comfort while Gaza screamed in agony.

💔 One Eye for Gaza: Hannah Thomas and the Price of Speaking Truth

🖋️ By Malik Mukhtar 📍 ainnbeen.blogspot.com | 🗓️ June 29, 2025 She stood on the pavement—Hannah Thomas, lawyer, activist, former Greens candidate. She stood—holding no weapon, only a banner and a conscience. She stood—outside a factory that allegedly helps plate the steel for F-35 jets now raining hell on Gaza. And for that—Australian police slammed her to the ground. Now, she may never see from her right eye again. Let that sentence burn into your mind: “She may lose her sight—for standing against genocide.” 🇵🇸 In Gaza, Eyes Are Lost Forever In Gaza, there are no surgeons left for eyes. Eyes are buried beneath concrete. Eyes were starved shut. Eyes were blinded by phosphorus, smoke, dust. Children in Gaza have forgotten what it means to look up without fear. And still, the bombs fall. From October 7, 2023 to now, tens of thousands dead—many torn apart by American-made weapons, polished and prepped by foreign contractors. The livestream genocide has not stopped. The...

🏗️ Corporate Complicity in Genocide: The Global Economy Behind Gaza’s Ruin.

📅 July 5, 2025 “We are witnessing not just genocide in Gaza—but a genocide made profitable.” — UN Special Rapporteur, A/HRC/59/23 “This report is written from the heart of darkness . It is penned with a broken hand from a broken land for a broken people . But its words are not broken . They are the words of law and of longing . They are the words of those who are not yet silenced . It is written for Palestinians , first and foremost. It is also addressed to those who remain silent , indifferent or complicit . And it is a call to action for those who are not.” — Introduction, UN Report A/HRC/59/23 In an unprecedented and unflinching report to the UN Human Rights Council, the Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory has laid bare the truth that much of the world’s corporate, academic, and financial architecture is actively complicit in Israel’s occupation, apartheid, and now, genocide in Gaza. This isn’t just about military aggression . This is about the mac...

🕯️ The Day Tel Aviv Trembled: Iran’s Missiles and the Crumbling Illusion of Invincibility

  By ainnbeen.blogspot.com For decades, Israel projected an image of invulnerability— a fortress powered by American billions , state-of-the-art missile defenses, and a myth of unmatched military precision. But in a chilling shift, that illusion is cracking. As Iranian missiles rained down on Tel Aviv, not through proxies but directly from Tehran, the world witnessed what was once unthinkable: the heart of Israel under direct attack, air-raid sirens wailing , embassies shuttered , and diplomats fleeing. This isn’t just a military development —it’s a political earthquake . And it exposes deep fractures in Israel’s defense doctrine, regional strategy, and perhaps most importantly —its belief that it could strike without consequence. 🔥 1. Iranian Missiles Hit Tel Aviv: The Strike That Shattered Complacency In what appears to be retaliation for Israel’s continuous sabotage campaigns — nuclear facility strikes , assassinations of IRGC commanders — Iran unleashed a salvo...

🛡️ Israel's Air-Defense Under Pressure: A Rising Iranian Hypersonic Threat

  🛡️ Israel’s Iron Dome May Hold—But for How Long? As Iran expands its missile arsenal with supersonic and hypersonic capabilities, Israel’s once-famed air defense now faces a triple crisis: strategic, economic, and societal . While the world watches air battles unfold in the skies, the deeper vulnerabilities lie beneath—in the nation's fatigued population, overstretched military, and fragile economic base. 🚨 Strategic Threat: The Iranian Hypersonic Surge Iran reportedly maintains over 3,000 ballistic missiles , including: Fattah-1 & Fattah-2 : Hypersonic glide vehicles (Mach 13–15+). Khorramshahr-4 & Qassem Bassir : With maneuverable warheads and terminal speeds that can overwhelm Israel’s Arrow and David’s Sling systems. Thousands of SRBMs (Zolfaghar, Qiam, Fateh variants) capable of saturating Iron Dome through sheer volume. While Israel’s Iron Dome remains highly effective against traditional threats (85–90% interception rate), hypersonic missiles introd...
