The Gazan famine can’t be acknowledged because the U.S. is complicit in its creation. From Daniel Larison at daniellarison.substack.com:
The Trump administration has made famine denialism the official policy of the United States:
The US rejected a United Nations-backed report that declared a famine in Gaza, breaking with other members of the UN Security Council as it denied that Israel was engaged in a “policy of starvation” in the enclave as part of the war with Hamas.
The U.S. position is unsurprising, but it is despicable. Denying the famine in Gaza is another black mark on our country’s reputation. The administration’s dismissive response to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC)’s Famine Review Committee report is a disgrace. It is another ugly element of an indefensible policy of unconditional support for a genocidal regime.
The Famine Review Committee has been closely following the man-made humanitarian disaster in Gaza since the beginning. As they put it in the report’s executive summary, “Never before has the Committee had to return so many times to the same crisis, a stark reflection of how suffering has not only persisted but intensified and spread until famine has begun to emerge.” The famine is “entirely man-made,” and there is no question about who is responsible for it. This is Israel’s man-made atrocity famine.
NO Trump Gaza without it?
Come and party on the dead bodies.
WTF is that?
