Less food is going into Gaza now than during most other times in the war. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed while heading toward aid sites. Many others are suffering from serious malnutrition, and Gazan health officials say scores have died from it.
Goddamn NYT, the answer is right in front of you. Israel’s US-backed Genocide. Stop humming and whistling around pretending you don’t know.
How Did Hunger Get So Much Worse in Gaza?
Anyone still puzzled to get the answer to this question, isn’t paying attention to the most obvious ethnic cleansing happening out in the open.
Nah, settlements are ethnic cleansing. This is genocide, plain and simple.
I stopped reading the NYTimes after I cancelled my subscription around 2019, but occasionally check it to see how close they’re willing to walk to saying difficult truths. This article is a reminder why I left. It’s pathetic watching them sheepishly murmur ugly facts and whisper when they should shout.
Within Israel, aid restriction is a loudly debated topic: on one hand are organizations, politicians, and pundits who argue that Israel should cut off all aid in order to exterminate every person in Gaza. And on the other are the “moderates” who argue that it is important to allow in a miniscule-but-non-zero amount of aid intended to achieve the same purpose while maintaining the farcical pretense that they aren’t doing what they frequently admit they’re doing. This is the range of mainstream discourse, and it is all out in the open.
They say the quiet part out loud on the floor of the kenesset every day. Does the NYTimes have some rule against reporting Netanyahu’s own words if they’re not spoken to an American audience? He and Smotrich and Ben-Gvir admit to committing starvation in Hebrew the same day Bibi will deny it in a speech in English.
Fuck the NYTimes.
“Deaths in aid incidents” is weird phrasing
NYT loves using the passive voice to downplay killings by the powerful. Who can say how they died or who is responsible? Let’s not dwell on trivialities.
You know how it is, they were just in the path of some bullets that were passing by. Unfortunate events…
Yeah, it happens. You can’t do a proper ethnic cleansing if those damn gazans keep eating, right?
Then we’d be talking about “How Did Obesity Get So Much Worse in Gaza?”
“Saving gaza from obesity” was literally one of the pro-Israel talking points a few months ago from a UK lobbyist to justify Israel use of famine as a weapon.
Hmm I wonder how it happened? Oh well guess it’s just natural causes.

Full excerpt, giving context: “In March, Israel imposed an aid blockade on Gaza in an effort to squeeze concessions from Hamas; it also said, without providing evidence, that the militant group was systematically stealing the supplies.”
I’m pretty sure this was recently debunked, too.
Among others by an investigation of USAID. So clearly Hamas /s
Eating food? Sounds like something Hamas would do
It’s one of life’s great mysteries
