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.

The Media Sold the War. We Watched It Happen.

What Adam H. Johnson’s How to Sell a Genocide reveals—and what the question of digital witnessing forces us to confront There is a disturbing question at the heart of the Gaza catastrophe that cannot be answered simply by asking what governments did, what armies did, or even what the media reported. There is another question: What did the world do while watching? Adam H. Johnson’s How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza, published by Pluto Press, approaches Gaza through the machinery of mainstream American media. His investigation examines how some of the most influential institutions in the Western information system—including The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC—framed the destruction of Gaza. It is an important question because wars are not fought only with weapons. They are also fought through language. Before bombs become statistics, they become headlines. Before civilian deaths become numbers, they become narratives. Before dest...

Zionism, Antisemitism — and the Grotesque Death of a Political Theology

If you ever wanted to witness how confusion, opportunism, theology, nationalism, and bigotry collide in real time — you didn’t need a medieval church council. You only needed to tune into a meeting of the . There, amid political loyalists and pop-culture appointees, a spectacle unfolded: Zionism was denounced, antisemitic conspiracies were flirted with, and centuries-old theological errors were recycled as if they were fresh revelations. But the deeper issue is not one controversial appointee. The deeper issue is this: What precisely is Zionism? And how does it intersect — or collide — with antisemitism? Because in today’s discourse, the two are either falsely merged or lazily separated without thought. Let us disentangle them carefully. 1. What Is Zionism — Precisely? Zionism , in its original and political form, is a 19th-century nationalist movement. It emerged in Europe not from theology, but from crisis. The father of modern political Zionism, , was not respon...

When a City Is Destroyed, What Exactly Is Being Killed?

Gaza is not only a story of buildings reduced to rubble. It is a story about what happens when the physical conditions of urban life—homes, hospitals, universities, roads, water systems, memory and community—are progressively dismantled. There is a word for the destruction of a city that captures something the language of “damage” cannot fully express: urbicide . The term is at the center of Mourad Benguita’s important 2025 research article, “Urbicide in Israel’s War on Gaza: Architecture of Erasure and the Unmaking of Urban Life (2023–2025),” published in Filistin Araştırmaları Dergisi / Bulletin of Palestine Studies . The article examines Gaza not simply as a battlefield but as an urban environment whose physical and social foundations have been subjected to extraordinary destruction. And this distinction matters. Because when a house collapses, we see a destroyed building. When an entire neighborhood disappears, we begin to see something else. When hospitals, schools, unive...
