The Genocide Is Not Only Televised

The Genocide Is Not Only Televised—It’s Engineered

“Starvation is the weapon of choice.”
— Chris Hedges, June 29, 2025

In Gaza, genocide doesn’t need gas chambers. It needs control over food. It needs silence. It needs us to look away.

In March 2025, Israel and its Western allies accomplished what months of siege and saturation bombing couldn’t: they dismantled UNRWA, Gaza’s last remaining lifeline, severing access to food, medicine, and basic dignity. Replacing it was not a humanitarian effort—but a cruel performance.

Enter the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)—a front of war masquerading as aid. GHF was crafted not by relief professionals but by Mossad-linked contractors, CIA-linked security firms, and mercenaries. Its CEO is Rev. Johnnie Moore, a Christian Zionist with close ties to Netanyahu and Trump. This was never about food. It was about control.

To cement the illusion of international legitimacy, the U.S. appointed Jake Wood—a decorated former Marine and humanitarian—to oversee GHF’s operations. But what Wood saw broke him. Just three weeks into his assignment, he resigned in protest, penning a haunting New York Times op-ed that sent shockwaves through global diplomatic circles.

“We are not feeding the hungry—we are corralling them. We are watching them die.”

Wood’s words are a searing indictment of the Western-led charade. But more damning is what Israel did next.

Gaza’s “Aid Sites”: A Killing Field in Disguise

According to a Haaretz investigation published June 27, IDF commanders ordered soldiers to shoot into crowds of unarmed Palestinians at GHF aid distribution hubs. The soldiers called it “Operation Salted Fish”—a sadistic nod to Squid Game, where the desperate are slaughtered while chasing hope.

“It’s a killing field,” an IDF soldier told Haaretz.
“No crowd control. No tear gas. Just live fire. Mortars. Heavy machine guns.”

The statistics are numbing:

580 civilians killed,
4,216 wounded—
all while queuing for food. Many were children. Many were mothers. Most were unarmed. All were starving.

And Israel knew it.

From UNRWA to GHF: Starvation as Strategy

Before the genocide, UNRWA operated 400 aid points. Now, there are just four—run by GHF, protected by American and Israeli guns, and surrounded by mercenaries and thugs. Palestinians, once dignified and self-sufficient, are now herded like livestock. They're forced to crawl through rubble, dodging sniper fire and stepping over corpses—just for a bag of rice or a can of beans.

And yet, this horror isn’t without historical precedent.

Chris Hedges draws chilling parallels between Gaza and past genocides:

Nazi tactics in the Warsaw Ghetto,
The Holodomor in Ukraine,
The Armenian genocide,
Bosnia,
Sudan,
Guatemala.

In each case, starvation was weaponized to break a people—physically, spiritually, and politically.

Gaza is now that frontline.

A Testimony from the Abyss

Yousef al-Ajouri, a father of seven, shared with Middle East Eye his harrowing journey to a GHF hub. He left at night, crawling alongside elderly women and children, hoping to reach a distribution site under sniper fire. He saw a boy shot dead for using a flashlight. He watched another man bleed to death, untouched and unrescued. When he finally reached aid, he fought off a knife-wielding stranger to secure just four cans of beans.

Hours later, at al-Awda Hospital, he saw 35 bodies lined in a room—all shot in the head or chest while waiting for aid.

Jake Wood’s Conscience, Our Indictment

Wood’s resignation and his NYT op-ed have confirmed what Palestinians have long screamed to a deaf world: GHF is a mechanism of death, not life.

Even Chris Gunness, former UNRWA spokesperson, called it out:

“This is not humanitarian relief. This is aid-washing genocide.”

Israel has reduced Gaza to a moonscape of rubble and sewage. The final obstacle to total conquest isn’t Hamas. It isn’t resistance. It’s the existence of Palestinians. And starvation is how Israel plans to erase them.

Silence Is Complicity. Knowledge Is Action.

Do not look away.

If you say you stood with Bosnia…
If you mourned the Warsaw Ghetto…
If you cried for Sudan, Armenia, or Ukraine…
Gaza is your mirror.

“We open fire early in the morning if someone tries to get in line from a few hundred meters away… There’s no danger to the forces… No return fire. No enemy. No weapons.”
— IDF soldier to Haaretz

Israel and its enablers have chosen hunger as their final weapon. We must choose humanity as our final stand.

“They Came Home Broken":The Brutal Truth Behind the October 2025 Palestinian Releases

They walked free —yet came home with broken bodies , shattered spirits , and scars that cannot be erased. On October 13, 2025, nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees were released from Israeli custody in return for hostages freed by Hamas. Many rejoiced; families wept with relief. But behind those scenes, a darker story surfaced—one of systemic abuse, medical neglect, and a betrayal of human dignity. The Faces Behind the Numbers Among those finally returned was Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya , a beloved hospital doctor in Gaza, whose ordeal reveals the brutality that many are still too afraid to speak about. He arrived having lost more than 20 kg in just two months , with fractured ribs from interrogation , a worsening heart condition denied proper medical attention , and the scars of solitary confinement and torture. He is not alone. In the landmark “ Welcome to Hell ” report, 55 formerly held Palestinians shared chilling testimonies : starvation diets, savage beatings, r...

How to Oppose Annexation Without Actually Opposing It: The Trump Doctrine of Elegant Hypocrisy

The Art of Saying No While Handing Over the Keys: Trump’s De Facto Annexation Gift to Israel Ah yes — the era of “ principled diplomacy.” The Trump administration, that self-proclaimed guardian of “fairness” in the Middle East, will forever be remembered for its masterclass in political double-speak — a rare performance where the United States verbally opposed Israel’s annexation of the West Bank while physically laying down the red carpet for it. It’s like saying, “ Please, don’t steal the car,” while quietly tossing over the keys, disabling the alarm, and complimenting the thief’s driving skills. The Great Paradox — or Just the Great Performance? Let’s call it what it was: a paradox of diplomacy , or perhaps more accurately , a farce performed for global consumption . In words , the Trump administration urged restraint — telling Netanyahu that annexation should be “coordinated,” “negotiated,” and “timed wisely.” In reality , it was busy dismantling every legal and dip...

The World as Gaza: Necropolitics and the Calculus of Survival

“ The ultimate expression of sovereignty resides in the power and the capacity to dictate who may live and who must die.” — Achille Mbembe, “Necropolitics” There are philosophies that dissect history, and there are philosophies that bleed through it. Achille Mbembe’s Necropolitics belongs to the latter — it is not an academic exercise, but a diagnosis of the world’s moral decay. In his words, modern sovereignty is no longer about governing life — it is about managing death . It decides who is allowed to breathe, who must suffocate, and who will exist in the space between. Nowhere is this calculus of death more visible, more technologically refined, and more ethically bankrupt than in Palestine . The siege of Gaza has transformed necropolitics from theory into geography — a place where the architecture of control and the arithmetic of survival intersect. The Right to Kill, the Duty to Let Die In Necropolitics , Mbembe extends Foucault’s biopower — the power to “...

The Leak That Broke the Mirror: Israel’s Moral Collapse at Sde Teiman

n R It was not the torture that shocked Israel. It was the fact that someone leaked it. Welcome to Sde Teiman — the desert detention camp that became a mirror to Israel’s moral decay, and to the world’s selective blindness. The Scene of the Crime The story begins, like most horror stories do these days, with a camera. On July 5, 2024, security footage inside the Sde Teiman military base caught what it was never meant to record: a Palestinian prisoner, blindfolded, bound, and dragged across the floor by Israeli soldiers. Moments later, the soldiers raised shields to block the camera — and behind that human wall, the real Israel revealed itself. When the shields dropped , the man lay broken: seven fractured ribs, a punctured lung, and a torn rectum so severe it required surgery and a colostomy. The anatomy of cruelty was complete. The Scandal That Wasn’t You would think such a crime would set off national outrage. But in Israel’s political universe , torture is an...

The Science of Fear: How Islamophobia Became a Campaign Strategy

When Zohran Mamdani stood before a roaring crowd and declared, “ No more will New York be a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia and win an election,” he wasn’t just celebrating victory — he was delivering a eulogy for a long, poisonous political playbook. Because let’s face it — Islamophobia has never just been about prejudice. It’s been a strategy — polished, funded, and weaponized into one of the most successful vote-getting formulas in modern politics. The Machinery of Fear The arithmetic is simple — and sinister . Take a minority that makes up barely 2% of the U.S. population . Turn them into the symbolic threat for the other 98%. Feed that fear with millions of dollars , wrap it in the flag , and sell it as “security. ” According to a 2021 CAIR report , more than $105 million was funneled to just 26 anti-Muslim organizations between 2017 and 2019 — money laundered through “ mainstream charitable ” institutions. That’s not democracy in action. That’...
