Famine has spread across the entire Gaza strip
JVL Introduction
A press release from UN experts says it all: “famine has spread across the entire Gaza strip”.
Warning after warning has been issued, month after month, as the conflict has unfolded with no end in sight.
It is the inevitable consequence of Israel’s scorched earth policy, its bombing of the civilian infrastructure of health, education, sewage and more, its at best half-hearted facilitation of aid into Gaza and to where it is most needed, its relentless displacement of civilians time and again.
One day, we can only hope, those responsible will be held to account at the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.

It is not famine, it is enforced starvation.
It is even less of a “famine” than the potato “famine” in Ireland, which George Bernard shaw called a “starvation” – the Corn Laws preventing cheap grain from being imported. Most Gazans are within a relatively short walk of plentiful food supplies but Jewish Zionists will not let them near. Do stop using the Zionist narrative, (of both Christians and Jews)
While we are at it perhaps Ian and John can reveal the number of angels able to dance together on the head of a pin? I think we should be told.
