Israel's Use of Starvation as a Weapon of War Brings Gaza to the Brink of Famine

Support our work: democracynow.org/give
Israel is accused of using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza, as Israeli forces continue to severely restrict the delivery of humanitarian aid, food and medical supplies to millions inside the besieged territory. "It is not possible to create a famine by accident," says Alex de Waal, an expert on the subject who serves as the executive director of the World Peace Foundation at Tufts University. Despite months of international warnings calling on Israel to open up aid channels, de Waal says famine in Gaza is "inevitable" as those warnings have been ignored and Israel's war on Gaza is poised to continue.

Write to your politicians, write to media outlets, go to a protest (because there are others who feel hurt, use that hurt and say to the world: not in my name), if you have the ability give money to UNRWA directly or to other aid organisations like doctors without boarders, look up if there is a Palestinian group in your area and ask if they need help, look up if there are petitions in your area calling for a ceasefire or peace. Regardless of whether our countries support this we can show solidarity in small actions. If everybody who feels hurt, heartbroken over the situation does these small things we are not alone anymore.

    ISRL announced on day 1that it was their intention to do this. Why is The Guardian feigning outrage after supporting ISRL for months? Remember: this operation was inaugurated by a speech from the PM who made it clear on day 1 that ISRL intended on committing war crimes including but not limited to starving the population, and collectivizing punitive measures. The Guardian's response was to support the operation wholeheartedly.

    These folks have been claiming Gaza is on the brink of famine for months. I'm beginning to think they don't understand the meaning of the words "brink" and "famine".

    After the UN did nothing in response to 10/7, Israel learned that there will be no punishment for their actions either.

    @@KrazyManuel For anyone who wants to learn, here are some important definitions... *Apartheid* refers to the implementation and maintenance of a system of legalized racial segregation in which one racial group is deprived of political and civil rights. Apartheid is a crime against humanity punishable under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The term “apartheid”, an Afrikaans word, derived from the French term “mettre à part”, literally translated to “separating, setting apart.” Apartheid is a policy that is founded on the idea of separating people based on racial or ethnic criteria. Usually, the separation operated by apartheid is exercised over geographical areas, putting one part of the population in an area separated from the others, or forbidding a group to access some areas solely based on their belonging to a race or ethnicity. Apartheid policies include, but are not limited to: the prohibition of mixed marriages, banning a specific racial or ethnic group from access to certain meetings and unions, and the restriction of movement, prohibiting access to certain public spaces. For more information I will refer you to the Human Rights Watch report called, "A Threshold Crossed: Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution" and the B'Tselem report titled, "A regime of Jewish supremacy from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea: This is apartheid." Both are very detailed scholarly works by internationally respected organizations which were both founded by Jewish human rights lawyers. *Ethnic cleansing* is common language used to describe a host of crimes. For example, "forcible transfer" describes the forced relocation of civilian populations as part of an organized offensive against that population. It is a crime against humanity punishable by the International Criminal Court (ICC). It is prohibited under Article 49 of the Geneva Convention. A United Nations Commission of Experts mandated to look into violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of the former Yugoslavia defined ethnic cleansing in its interim report S/25274 as "… rendering an area ethnically homogeneous by using force or intimidation to remove persons of given groups from the area." In its final report S/1994/674, the same Commission described ethnic cleansing as “… a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas.” The Commission of Experts also stated that the coercive practices used to remove the civilian population can include: murder, torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, extrajudicial executions, rape and sexual assaults, severe physical injury to civilians, confinement of civilian population in ghetto areas, forcible removal, displacement and deportation of civilian population, deliberate military attacks or threats of attacks on civilians and civilian areas, use of civilians as human shields, destruction of property, robbery of personal property, attacks on hospitals, medical personnel, and locations with the Red Cross/Red Crescent emblem, among others. The Commission of Experts added that these practices can “… constitute crimes against humanity and can be assimilated to specific war crimes. Furthermore, such acts could also fall within the meaning of the Genocide Convention.” There is evidence of this atrocity published everyday in news articles, videos published by Israeli soldiers themselves, and quotes from powerful figures in the highest echelons of Israeli government. January 5th the Washington Post published an article titled, "Israeli calls for Gaza's ethnic cleansing are only getting louder." THE CONVENTION ON THE PREVENTION AND PUNISHMENT OF THE CRIME OF GENOCIDE (1948) defines *Genocide* as any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. The definition of Genocide is made up of two elements, the physical element - the acts committed; and the mental element - the intent. Intent is the most difficult element to determine. To constitute genocide, there must be a proven intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. Cultural destruction does not suffice, nor does an intention to simply disperse a group, though this may constitute a crime against humanity as set out in the Rome Statute. It is this special intent, or dolus specialis, that makes the crime of genocide so unique. To constitute genocide, it also needs to be established that the victims are deliberately targeted - not randomly - because of their real or perceived membership of one of the four groups protected under the Convention. This means that the target of destruction must be the group, as such, or even a part of it, but not its members as individuals. For more information, please read or watch the case for charges of genocide against Israel presented by South Africa to the ICJ yourselves rather than have it interpreted by a vlogger. It is in English.
