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.
