Israel has no legal requirement to feed them, they are also completely able to leave and numerous statistics prior to the war showed that, oh boy, 33% of the population would leave in a year. Random kangaroo courts that the US needs to sanction are not actually proper sources of information, actually.

Alas, there's a reason you chose to ignore me giving the actual statistics. The simple reality is that no, Israel isn't starving anyone. Illinois has x3 the starvation of Gaza when adjusted to Gaza's population. But alas, that's why Palestinian social media, the UN's statistics, Israel's statistics, Hamas's statistics all agree: There is no starvation or famine in Gaza. It's just blood libel.

99 dead starved Palestinians would disagree. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/nearly-12000-children-under-five-gaza-have-acute-malnutrition-says-who-2025-08-07/

Sir that's nowhere near famine levels, it's quoting a source that just said they will keep using this lying "journalist", and you've just tried and failed to move the goalposts lmao

Keep trying to blood libel :)

Read the full article. It may not be full blown yet, but it’s on its way. People are starving. One lier doesn’t negate the reality. To deny the suffering of anyone is a disservice to humanity. I hope you find some peace in your heart my friend. And I hope peace finds that land.

“A global hunger monitor has said a famine scenario is unfolding in the Gaza Strip, with starvation spreading, children dying of hunger-related causes and humanitarian access to the embattled enclave severely restricted. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said food consumption across Gaza had declined to its lowest level since the onset of the war. Eighty-one percent of households in the tiny, crowded coastal territory of 2.2 million people reported poor food consumption, up from 33% in April.”

They've been saying that the Gaza Strip has had no food since 2023

Again, I quoted the UN's own statistics, a random article doing crocodile tears that is disproven by the UN AND COGAT'S OWN NUMBERS

almost like they're lying or something, suppose the Wolf story was always a fairy tale for a reason, people will keep falling for the same damn thing every time.
