Israel is using famine as a war strategy in Gaza.
Backed by U.S. support, normalized by global silence, and streamed live on our phones.
Aid restrictions, resource blockades, and starvation are not accidents for Israel, it is their horror tactic.

Historically, famine has been used as a war tool.
Stalin's Holodomor in Ukraine (1932-33) saw grain seizures, travel bans and export surges that killed millions.
And more recently, Russia's bombing of Ukraine's grain storage and ports has disrupted harvests and weaponized starvation.

Alex de Waal, a famine expert, highlights that Gaza now approaches famine levels. He criticizes Israel's unstrengthen of UN aid,
giving priority to a U.S. backed foundation,
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), with aid sites often turning violent.
Around 1.000 were killed only in these sites.

Between May and early August 2025,
almost 90% of UN aid trucks were looted or stopped.
Israel blamed both Hamas and aid chaos, yet independent reports found no proof of systematic actions by Hamas.

for example, arms embargo,
and suspend financial ties with Israel.
These ideas,
echoing the legal precedents from South Africa's apartheid era,
and the post-Nuremberg prosecutions.

Now Trump's doing his own version: tariffs are at their highest since the 1930s. "America First", MAGA.

In contrast, Poland's economy faces a labor shortage,
and migrants have helped fill key roles, (healthcare, agriculture, and construction). A humane, well-managed system brings social and economic gains.
But far-right presents fear as the only answer.

Crimes by foreigners in Poland rose from 2.5k (2015) to 17.3k (2023).
In 2024 dipped to 16.4k (2024).

But the foreign population grew from ~200k to 2.5M+ in the same period.

In that sense, the immigrants' crime rate in 2015 would be ~1.2%, while in 2023 ~0.7%.
Poland's government blames immigrants for "importing crime" - but the truth is not so simple

Is immigration really a threat to Polish security?
well, no consistent data links rising immigration with increased crime.
Security issues often come more from political narratives than actual threat levels.

It is not a secret the tactics used by Belarus in the weaponization of immigrants by the Lukashenko regime.
But the European Union's anxious and uncooperative response allows it to continue winning in a game that puts EU policies in jeopardy.
