U.N. Experts Accuse Israel of 'Starvation Campaign' in Gaza & Demand End to Western Complicity

Top United Nations human rights experts have condemned Western nations for supporting Israel's devastating war on Gaza, urging the world to stop an unfolding genocide in Palestine. This comes as the U.N. special rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri, is accusing Israel in a new report of carrying out a deliberate starvation campaign in Gaza. "What we are witnessing in Gaza is the starvation of 2.3 million Palestinians. We've never seen a civilian population made to go hungry so quickly and so completely," says Fakhri, who joins us from Brazil. We also speak with Francesca Albanese, the special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, who says Israel's assault on Gaza is part of a larger plan of "getting as much control as possible over maximum land with minimum Palestinian people."

Marione Ingram, an 88-year-old Jewish German activist and Holocaust survivor, expressed deep concern about the situation in Gaza, drawing parallels between her childhood memories and the current Israeli attacks on Palestinians in the besieged coastal enclave.
"I have experienced what the children in Gaza are experiencing now, " the Holocaust survivor said, adding, "So it is something when I see what is going on in Gaza, it has an immediate identification with my life as a child."
"Netanyahu tells the world, and Biden dances to Netanyahu's tune, and tells us that this is self-defense. Killing children is not government self-defense. So what Israel is doing now is starving people, bombing them, having told people to go to a safe zone, and then killing them, " she said.

Thank you Israel for waking up my indigenous people here in the Americas. You have woken up a sleeping giant! Let's start talking about how, when, who and why the United States department of agriculture sets these poverty lines.

The suffering of the people in Gaza  is unspeakable; it's horrendous. We have exhausted the vocabulary of the English language in order to describe what has  befallen them (us) since 1948 🇵🇸♥️😪🇵🇸♥️😪

We live in a world when the vast majority of west leader not just endorse this horrific genocide and occupation but also keep helping the continuously assault on Palestinian. It’s never been so clear what is wright and wrong and even tough the genocide continues after a whole year.

How is it possible- because it is a genocide - since 1948

[adinahaun]

Do the right thing Joe, for your reputation and America’s standing in the world and immediately stop sending weapons to this genocide. NOW!!

[noorpath]

To avoid any other tragedy, Israel needs to cancel the practice of administrative detention ( unlimited renewable 6 months of detention without any charges). Their opponent will consider those detainees as hostages because there is no charge against them.
