During the genocidal Biafran war, millions were ravaged by hunger, deliberately starved to death by the Nigerian government, so apropos of Israel's indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinians:

‐ Starving children (+adults) is NOT self-defence.
‐There's no "survive one genocide, get one free" axiom.
Life magazine cover of malnourished Biafran children, with two prominently featured in the foreground. The headline reads, "Starving Children of Biafra War." Photo of malnourished Biafran children suffering from Kwarshiokor. Five of the children are in the foreground; their appearance marked by overly big heads, abnormally thin arms, distended abdomen, & protruding ribs. Their hands are outstretched to someone outside the camera's view. They are most likely reaching for rations. The blurry background features more starving children. Photo of six naked and extremely malnourished children. One is standing facing the camera: the child has a big head, abnormally thin arms, a distended abdomen, and protruding ribs. The other five are sitting on a long plank on the ground; three are facing the camera while the other two have their backs turned to the camera. The looks of the three mirror that of the standing child. The spines and ribs of the kids with their backs to the camera are evident. Photo of a mixed group of severely malnourished children and adults. Ten children, most naked with a few clothed in tattered shirts, are in the front. Their looks are marked by the effects of starvation: overly big heads, abnormally thin arms, distended abdomen, and protruding ribs. Behind the kids are adults cutoff around the chest area. Their bodies bear the marks of starvation as well.

...I no longer know how many years it takes an olive tree to reach maturity and bear a full crop, but I do know that it's several. This action has nothing to do with anything that is happening now. The only purpose it can serve is denying Gaza a future, and making it clear they don't care who knows.

Aid groups report that Israel is refusing to allow any olives or other “fruits or vegetables with pits or seeds that could be planted” into Gaza. They will only allow in pitted olives.
Israel’s new measures do nothing to stop the starvation crisis in Gaza, say aid workers
Humanitarian workers say airdrops and corridors to allow trucks into region have done little to stop the rising death toll

That last line hits hard
@MichellCClark: they made healthcare a commodity, education a debt trap, and housing a speculation market-then told you that poverty is a personal failing. they privatized survival and called it freedom.

A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza.

That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed.

Genocide.

medium.com/@m4xim1l1an/...
Gaza Strip was approximately 2.227 million. The Garb report includes maps displaying IDF estimates for the populations remaining in what are considered the three primary enclaves. The numbers are as follows: Gaza City: 1 million Mawasi: 0.5 million Central: 0.35 million The total of these official estimates is 1.85 million people. Simple arithmetic reveals a horrifying gap: 2.227 million minus 1.85 million leaves 377,000 people unaccounted for.
