Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

This isn't a "man-made famine" it's literally an ethnic cleansing, the zionists want to wipe the Palestinians off the planet. The ones they don't kill with their guns they want to starve to death. This is a colonist genocide, I am so tired of the media finding all these ridiculous descriptions. It's a genocide. They need to be asking why the hell aren't we stopping these monsters?
Well a "man-made famine" fulfills another part of the genocide definition
Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
So it's important in the sense that it's one step closer to a definite conviction of a genocide.
It's definitely ethnic cleansing. But fucking bureaucracy bullshit, so they're probably following the four-stage strategy
I got banned from world news on lemmy because I argued one of these genocidal Israelis and they ended up spamming and mass reporting me after they obfuscated the thread. The only and worst "personal insult" I used, once, was "IDF troll", and that wasn't even bullshit.
I'm so tired of nothing good happening in the world.
You want to start a revolution with me, friend?
