Benjamin Netanyahu says there is no starvation in Gaza. Palestinian Israeli politician Ayman Odeh was forcibly stopped from speaking in the Knesset after he referenced the hunger crisis. And, in the United States, the lobby group AIPAC has been pushing talking points saying that “reports that people are starving in Gaza are false.”

    I’ve said since this started, Israel is going to completely wipe out Palestine and say “Oh, my bad, that was a dark part of our history” and the world is going to continue to trade and respect this new larger country.

    A few people will write songs about the genocide, some big director will make a movie and people will pound their fist on their way to the restaurant. I mean, we’re capitalists and the U.S. needs it’s military base to keep that region in check, you don’t expect real consequences for Israel, darling of right wingers for something as trivial as wiping out a peoples do you? It’s not like they moved left or anything intolerable like that.

    They are liars, and that’s not new. It’s never going to change as long as the world props them up as if they were an ethical organization. If the international community takes a soft approach about the 1.1 million Palestinians at Level 5 food insecurity (“Catastrophic”, the worst level on the UN’s scale) then why would organizations like the IDF and AIPAC stop lying to the people willing to believe anything they say?

    It should be noted that AIPAC is also the organization openly spending 100 million+ this election to make sure “progressives” (i.e. dissenting voices) aren’t elected.
